Things I did not know about childbirth

I find this surprising:

On Sept. 12, Lima gave birth to her second child and exactly eight weeks later to the day, the stunning mom walked the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show wearing nothing more than a bra and underwear.

Lima’s post-baby body transformation awed some, but her trainer insists she is just like any other mom. Well, sort of.

“Adriana’s goal is the same as every healthy woman’s, return to pre-baby shape. She sets the bar high,” Lima’s trainer, Michael Olajide Jr., told Celebuzz back in October. Olajide worked with the Brazilian beauty for two to three hours, twice a day, seven days a week. To get ready for the Victoria’s Secret show, Lima did boxing and jump rope with specialized sculpting maneuvers.

Olajide says Lima worked hard during those eight short weeks. “Adriana goes above and beyond,” he told Celebuzz. “As a trainer you can only go as far as the individual you’re training allows you to go. Adriana has a unique mind, an extremely high level of tolerance when it comes to physical discomfort. Some people are afraid to sweat and feel like their heart is going to jump out of their chest but Adriana’s able to function in that atmosphere and that’s why she’s always at the top of her game. She’s 100% professional.”
