For most new mothers, having children is enough to rattle their self confidence and make them modify their look for at least a little while. Fitting into those pre-baby jeans and a singlet can be extra stress for those who are still adjusting to sleepless nights, hormones and a hungry child.

But, for celebrities the race is on to get back into a skimpy outfit as soon as possible after child birth. Some women just love to show skin, and there are plenty of famous mamas who aren’t happy unless they are putting it all on display. Keep in mind they have personal trainers waking them up at the break of dawn kicking their butts into gear. Let’s not judge ourselves too harshly for taking a bit longer to get our groove back.

For those celebrities who are proud of their curves, stretch marks and all - it can be inspiring to other women. With their pregnant bellies proudly on display it shows they are only human and have the same body changes as the rest of us. Stars who make Moms feels as though they too can still wear a bikini while pregnant should be celebrated.

Some celebs do the “showing skin” thing well, and some…just don’t. There is a fine line between being subtly sexy and being overly raunchy just for the sake of it. Here is a list of 15 Mamas who show some skin the right way, and an extra 5 who really should cover up and leave something to the imagination.

20 Love: Alessandra Ambrosio

Alessandra Ambrosio is another model beauty who is happy to bare her skin. This Brazilian bombshell is a mother of two children, Anja and Noah. Like all the other Victoria’s Secrets girls, once you have strutted down the catwalk in a pair of angel wings – you will be eternally confident in your body.

With a pair of elegantly long legs, Alessandra will often be spotted wearing a short dress or something longer with a long slit up the side. Body hugging styles and cleavage popping designs are all in a day’s work for this beautiful woman. Fitting a bikini or sexy lace lingerie is standard work for a model and she has made a fortune from her body. As a hands-on mom, she does tend to dress down a bit but that doesn’t mean she covers up!

19 Love: Beyonce

Queen Bee has been celebrating her bootylicious bod for as long as we can remember. Beyonce and her husband Jay Z are one of Hollywood’s much talked about duos and they are the parents of three young children.

First born daughter Blue Ivy is sister to the newest additions, twins Rumi and Sir Carter. Even pregnancy with twins didn't stop the empowered body loving diva from sharing what she's got. Beyonce even posted photos on Instagram of herself both during and after pregnancy, leaving very little to the imagination.

Dancing around on stage while belting out the hits is going to be physically exerting, and B generally wears outfits which are short and revealing. One thing is for sure, she allowed women everywhere to embrace their curves...and we love her for it!

18 Cover Up: Katie Price

Katie Price used to go by the name Jordan, and she was once the wife of equally plastic looking, Peter Andre. Since then she has been married twice and her latest husband Kieran Hayler admitted to having an affair.

She may not look like your typical Mama, but Katie has a total of five children. With two daughters Bunny and Princess, and three sons Harvey, Junior and Jett she has a full house. While she has been a topless model, television personality and author, her role as a mother is the most important as one of her sons has autism and requires extra care.

If Ms Price isn’t showing her nipples, revealing her booty or putting her cleavage on display there would have to be something wrong. At 39 years old, Katie isn’t likely to change her ways and cover up any time soon.

17 Love: Gwen Stefani

She’s not “just a girl” but one of the coolest rock chicks around as both a member of band No Doubt and more recently, a solo singer. Gwen has had three sons to ex Gavin Rossdale with Kingston, Zuma and Apollo. Even though she's 47 she has always worked hard to maintain her body. All that exercise and healthy eating has paid off, and she certainly likes to show it off.

One of her best assets is her toned, tight stomach and the singer is often photographed with her tummy on display.

Crop tops are general attire for this punk rocker, and Gwen has always had the athletic look and long lean legs. Blonde hair, red lips and a rock star style has meant Gwen can get away with her minimal clothing choices.

16 Love: Miranda Kerr

Miranda Kerr is Australia's sweetheart, and the supermodel appeared to have it all when she hooked up with heartthrob movie star Orlando Bloom. Unfortunately, things didn't work out, but she was left with something positive with her son Flynn.

So, she's a model and that automatically makes her freakishly good looking. But, even after having a child she still likes to show off her body. This girl works out ridiculously hard and she is more than happy to reveal the results in swimsuits and lingerie.

Just 11 months after giving birth to Flynn, Miranda posed naked for photographer Willy Vanderperre in Paris for Industrie mag. After gracing the catwalk for Victoria's Secret, Miranda is used to having the spotlight on her in skimpy clothing and is comfortable in her own skin.

15 Cover Up: Farrah Abraham

16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom reality TV star Farrah Abraham seems to be calling out for attention as she wins our award for “too much information”. While we do have sympathy for her upbringing, we don’t need to see photos of her vaginal rejuvenation or her third boob job.

While these weren’t entirely full frontal nudity, Farrah doesn’t hesitate to put on a V-string bathing suit and show off her booty. She has one daughter, Sophia Laurent Abraham who is now 8 years old. All the plastic surgery and revealing outfits is nothing, as Farrah’s the proud owner of a sex tape. If it worked for Kim it will work for Farrah right?

With a young daughter watching her every move, maybe it is time for dear Farrah to please cover up!

14 Love: Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian is famous for her curves. Back in 2003 she was dating Ray J, and their leaked sex tape was what really launched her as a celebrity. No stranger to showing skin, years later (and onto her second marriage with rapper Kanye West) Kim is a mother of two with daughter North West and son Saint West.

While people either love her, or hate her, she has become one of the most talked about reality TV stars in recent times. “Keeping up with the Kardashians” has been running since 2007. Motherhood has not hindered Kim’s confidence when it comes to baring her curvaceous figure.

Kim’s fashion choices are often hit or miss, but this girl does know how to rock a bikini. She almost single handedly brought back the big booty, and is often spotted showing what she’s got. Even during her second pregnancy with Saint, she still didn’t cover up.

13 Love: Jennifer Lopez

JLO is another curvaceous celebrity who is famous for singing, acting and fashion...oh, and she also has a series of perfumes in her name.

At age 48, this hot mama looks better than many women half her age and while she has a string of failed relationships, she does have two beautiful children. Her 9 year old twins are Emme and Maximilian to father Marc Anthony.

JLo has the curves and she loves to flaunt them! Skimpy dresses, small bikinis and mini shorts fill her closet and a lifetime of dancing has paid off for this smokin’ hot fashionista.

Even after having twins, her body has bounced back and you would never know her stomach had been stretched that far. We are telling ourselves not to compare ourselves to others, as she is a millionaire and can afford a personal trainer...and a nanny!

12 Cover Up: Blac Chyna

Blac Chyna (Angela Renée White) is the ex fiancé to Rob Kardashian and is a model with her own makeup brand. Back in the day, she has previously worked as a stripper. Blac is the mother to daughter Dream Kardashian with Rob, and has a son called King Cairo Stevenson with Tyga.

While we do like to celebrate a woman with curves, this mama does love to show an awful lot of skin. Her round booty is her favourite asset and she doesn’t mind showing off her cleavage. Whether she has had butt implants or not is up for debate. Rob and Blac Chyna have come to a settlement where he has to pay her $20,000 a month in child support. That should be enough for a bit of extra material on her clothes.

11 Love: Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba has a casual kind of style, but she doesn't mind showing off her body on the beach. Motherhood suits her, and she has two girls called Honor and Haven. Super sweet, Jessica generally tends to choose one feature to accentuate and she has a lot to be grateful for. A low cut top or a figure hugging dress are often her garment of choice on the red carpet.

The actress appears to be comfortable in the water and is a fan of the teeny tiny bikini. Let's just hope with all the days spent splashing about in the waves that she is sun safe, and teaches her kids to wear a hat. Jessica Alba can do no wrong, and she understands how to show skin without looking tacky.

10 Love: Kate Hudson

As the daughter of Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson was always going to be blessed with good genes. Now a parent herself, she has two young sons named Ryder and Bingham. Kate has an activewear brand which you may be familiar with. It's called Fabletics and she models for the company. When being photographed in sports gear, there is no time to be body conscience and Kate wears sports bras and short shorts in many of the campaigns.

Outside of the work studio, it is not uncommon to see her strutting her stuff in a swimsuit, and revealing her body is not something she hides away from. What Kate lacks in cleavage, she makes up for in the killer leg department. One stylish mama, she can glam up or dress down with a hint of skin or much, much more.

9 Cover Up: Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey may be famous for hitting the high notes, but her diva demands and lavish lifestyle have kept her in the spotlight for all these years. Her television series, Mariah’s World has just been cancelled after one season.

As a mother of beautiful twins, her little bundles of joy are son Moroccan and her daughter is Monroe. With two ex husbands, Miss Mariah has had a few unusual relationships in her time. It is really hard to be negative about the singer, but with rumoured plastic surgery and forever shrinking hemlines, we do wish she would cover up. She has always put her body on display, but occasionally we would like to see her in something a bit more sophisticated and glamorous to go with her music Queen status.

8 Love: Halle Berry

Halle Berry wins the award for being able to pull off short hair like no one else, but the actress is also a mother who likes to bare skin. Halle has two children, a daughter Nahla and son Maceo. She may be in her 50’s but that doesn't stop her from pulling out the short denim shorts and revealing some cleavage. As former Bond girl, she isn't shy in a bikini and we don't blame her for wanting to put her body on display.

With a body like that, we would be wearing very little too. On the red carpet, she likes to go slinky with something tight and she won't say no to something low cut or see through. Just recently she appeared at the premiere for the movie Kingsman, with her legs on display…covered only by a hint of sheer fabric.

7 Love: Heidi Klum

Supermodel, superhuman...Heidi Klum is another celebrity who is genetically blessed. Having moved on (slightly) from the Victoria’s Secret runway, Heidi has become a TV personality, author and fashion designer.

This bronzed goddess has a total of four children with two daughters and two sons. Helene, Lou, Johan and Henry somehow all came out of that body. Heidi has never hesitated when it comes to stripping down. An itsy bitsy bikini or barely there lingerie are nothing new for her. She has gone fully naked in the name of fashion in the past.

Heidi has split up with the father to three of her children, Seal, but apparently, the pair remain good friends...maybe even something more. We will have to wait and see if they get back together, we love a good romance!

6 Cover Up: Snooki

Nicole Polizzi, prefers to go by the name Snooki and is a Jersey Shore reality TV star and professional wrestler. This pocket rocket likes her fake tan and is often at the centre of controversy.

Snooki has two children, Giovanna and Lorenzo LaValle with husband Jionni LaValle. She likes to experiment with fashion, and this generally involves her showing too much skin. This lady likes to show off her cleavage and the short, short skirts. Even though she has calmed down a lot recently, we would still like Ms Polizzi to try something new and tone it down somewhat.

With two children, the days of partying are surely over and it is time to dress to impress. However, with a recent boob job, we are more likely to see more of Sooki, rather than less.

5 Love: Penelope Cruz

Penelope Cruz first came onto our radar in the Vanilla Sky days (still don’t understand what that movie was about) and her subsequent dating, and dumping of Tom Cruise. This Spanish siren is eternally beautiful and is the mother of a pigeon pair with daughter Luna and son Leo to husband Javier Bardem.

She has been very public about her advocacy for breastfeeding, and it is common to see her showing some skin. Penelope appears to be very proud of her figure and low cut designs are amongst her favorite. She doesn’t mind frolicking around the beach or splashing about in a pool with her hubby wearing a bikini either. Penelope and her sister Monica have even collaborated for a lingerie line for brand Agent Provocateur. This is a woman who loves beautiful lingerie and has a taste for retro ‘50s glam.

4 Love: Brooke Burke

Brooke Burke (Charvet) has her hand in every pie as a TV personality, model, dancer and actress. Married to David Charvet, she is a mother of four with three daughters and a son. Her kids go by the names of Neriah, Sierra, Shaya and Heaven.

At age 46 she still has an athletic body and has even appeared on the cover of Health magazine in a small crop top. If you have seen her abs, you would understand why she is often photographed showing skin. How is that stomach even possible?

Activewear, bikinis and sleek ball gowns, this mother will wear it all…as long as she can show off her assets. Her body is enough to have us purchasing her entire box set of workout DVDs. Whatever she’s doing, is working!

3 Cover Up: Courtney Love

Courtney Love may be 53, but age will never stop her from showing too much skin. As a singer and actress, she is probably best known as the deceased Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain’s wife.

The pair had a daughter, Frances Bean Cobain who is now a young woman. Courtney has lived the rockstar life, and this grungey singer has had a long time battle with drug addiction.

With smudged eyeliner and messy red lipstick, Courtney is very rarely seen in anything which is less than revealing. She has the blonde hair and fair skin, and has a body which is thin and gaunt. Legs, breasts and stomach are all commonly on display, but we would love to see this mama have a make-under and put on some extra items of clothing.

2 Love: Britney Spears

We have grown up with Britney. From the moment she launched into stardom with “Hit Me Baby” to the time she famously had a meltdown and shaved her head, we were there.

Through hit singles, failed relationships and dipping her toe into the acting water, you can’t help but want her to succeed. Britney is the mother of two boys with Sean and Jayden Federline.

Her body has been through a few transformations over her career, but we applaud her for always being real with us. This blonde popstar seems to think the more skin, the better and it is normal for her to step out on stage in a bikini. She really likes to show off her legs, and her stomach. Curves or abs of steel, either way she is going to flaunt it.

1 Love: Kendra Wilkinson

All that time living in the Playboy Mansion as one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends is enough to make any woman comfortable with nudity. Even though Kendra Wilkinson has moved on to better things she is often snapped showing some skin.

As an author and TV personality, Kendra is mom to daughter Alijah and son Hank. While we think her post baby figure is pretty perfect, she has been open about the changes her body has been through since childbirth including stretch marks. See, even famous people get them!

Kendra could never be self-conscious though, she is an advocate for the bikini and even posed in one for a magazine photo shoot during her pregnancy. This little blonde mama is not going to stop showing skin any time soon. With her show “Kendra on Top” still trending, she has spoken openly about not wanting any more children with Hank Baskett in the near future.
