Da, da, damn, girl! Less than a week after Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi gave birth to her third child, a son named Angelo, the reality TV star, 31, is flaunting her figure on social media. “Four days postpartum and body is feeling good, besides the fact that my cramps still feel like contractions!” she captioned a mirror selfie on Instagram on Monday, 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,” she added. Unfortunately, instead of championing Snooki’s efforts and excitement to get back into the gym, a lot of her followers left the Jersey Shore alum serious hate. So much so, that Nicole added an edit to her post.

4 days postpartum & body is feeling good besides the fact that my cramps still feel like contractions! 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 💪🏽 EDIT: Receiving backlash because I can’t wait to get in the gym and get fit again? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but don’t attack me for wanting to become strong and fit again after my pregnancy. My boobs are leaking and pulsating, my butthole is sore and my cramps are unbearable & I’m still wearing a diaper the size of Texas. Postpartum is a bitch. 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. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ADVICE ON HOW TO DEAL WITH RECOVERY! I’m still keeping my diaper on for weeks tho.

“Receiving backlash because I can’t wait to get in the gym and get fit again?” she began. “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but don’t attack me for wanting to become strong and fit again after my pregnancy. 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,” she continued. We love you Snooki, we really do, but the butthole thing was a *little* much.

“Postpartum is a bitch,” she expressed. “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, Snooki! The proud parent concluded with: “THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ADVICE ON HOW TO DEAL WITH RECOVERY! I’m still keeping my diaper on for weeks, though.”

Fair enough, Snooki, fair enough. In fact, go ahead and buy yourself a waterproof diaper! You deserve to swim comfortably all summer long. We’re wishing you a speedy recovery and can’t wait to watch your fitness progress in the weeks to come.
