Girl, who gave you permission to look this good?! Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi took to Instagram on Tuesday, June 25 — less than a month after giving birth to her son Angelo — to flaunt her killer postpartum body. The reality star, 31, looks so good, in fact, that some fans simply can’t believe their eyes. Scroll through the gallery below to see the photo and get more details.
“Getting my s–t together,” Snooki captioned the post, along with the hashtags “mom of three coming through,” and “mawma.” Between her striped romper, Louis Vuitton handbag and adorable sandals, the Jersey Shore alum has never looked better.

As mentioned, Snooki’s followers totally agree! “Did you have a baby? Wow. You look amazing,” one user commented. Y’all … that’s how you *know* your postpartum body is killer — when people don’t even realize you gave birth!

“Queen of the snapback,” added another, while one echoed, “OMG. I love that! It’s so cute. You look awesome, too. You can’t even tell you had a baby.”

Just because you can’t tell Snooki had a baby, doesn’t mean she didn’t have seriously intense postpartum symptoms. You can’t win ‘em all, ladies.

“Four days postpartum and body is feeling good besides the fact that my cramps still feel like contractions!” the fashion designer captioned a selfie on June 3. “Still healing but can’t wait to jump back into the gym hardcore this summer! Time to be a fit mawma again for my nuggets.”

Unfortunately, a lot of people took issue with the fact that Snooki wanted to get back in the gym. Apparently, moms aren’t allowed to work out. “Receiving backlash because I can’t wait to get in the gym and get fit again?” she later added to the caption.

“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but don’t attack me for wanting to become strong and fit again after my pregnancy,” Snooki continued. “My boobs are leaking and pulsating, my butthole is sore and my cramps are unbearable and I’m still wearing a diaper the size of Texas.”

“Postpartum is a bitch,” Snooki declared, “But I’m allowed to look on the bright side of things and want to get back into shape. Don’t punish me for that. You tell ‘em, girl!

She concluded the post by writing, “THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ADVICE ON HOW TO DEAL WITH RECOVERY! I’m still keeping my diaper on for weeks, though.”

As it happens, she wasn’t kidding! Days later, on June 11, she shared a bikini selfie — yes, a bikini — and wrote, “If you zoom in I’m still wearing my diaper.”

Diaper or no diaper, fans were once again floored at how amazing Snooki looks. We mean, how many moms do you know throwing on a swimsuit days after giving birth? Not many. “Skinny minnie!!!” commented her longtime BFF and costar Deena Cortese.

“Looking good!!! I’m over here still looking pregnant and my son is already 2 years old,” a fellow mom wrote. However, because the internet can be the worst, a lot of trolls accused Snooki of getting “plastic surgery.” You know … because that’s possible 3 weeks postpartum. *Rolls eyes.*

Even so, the proud mother of three — Lorenzo, 6, Giovanna, 4, and now, Angelo — continues to thrive. Snooki especially loves to gush over her tight-knit family.

“My squad,” she captioned a recent photo of her kiddos and hubby, Jionni LaValle, cuddling in bed. Wow, so much has changed. Do you remember when Snooki’s squad consisted of reality TV guidos?

If you don’t, her followers sure do! “I can remember watching you running through the streets of Florence, Italy chasing Jionni after leaving you at the club for being so drunk and embarrassing him. Look at you now! If only someone could’ve shown you this photo then. I’m so happy for you!! I love following your journey, you have come so far,” one person commented.
