And Graham did any kind of workout she could manage duringher pregnancy with twin boys Malachi and Roman. Just over a month before their birth, she got in a “preggo yoga sesh” that she posted on Instagram, with a video of her moving through warrior poses and down dogs with a very pregnant belly.
Graham opened up to PEOPLE in Augustthat she’s had to let go of the control she used to have over her body now that she’s gone through two pregnancies.
“I tried to control everything when I was pregnant with Isaac and I told myself that I was going to bounce right back because I was breastfeeding and everybody told me, ‘Oh, if you breastfeed you’re going to lose all the weight,’ " Graham adds. “And I had a few honest women tell me you will never feel the same. So they were just blunt with me and sure enough, I haven’t felt the same.”
