A mum of triplets has revealed her incredible body transformation just five months after giving birth – and puts it all down to the sᴛʀᴀɪɴ of looking after three kids.
Ramie Snodgrass, 35, from Tacoma, Washington, went from having a huge sᴡᴏʟʟᴇɴ stomach to a sᴛᴜɴɴɪɴɢ bikini bod without dieting or working out.

She attributes taking care of babies Anna, Connor and Justin along with the incredible ‘strength of the body’, as the reason behind her phenomenal physique. From regularly lifting them out of their cribs to carrying large boxes of diapers, pushing their huge stroller and more, helped her body return to shape.

Ramie said: “For me a big ꜰᴇᴀʀ of having triplets was not being able to do the things I love like running, hiking and more. I want to inspire other people and other mums not to give up on the things that are important to you as a person. I tried running six weeks after my C-sᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ but found it was too ᴘᴀɪɴꜰᴜʟ, so I don’t work out as regularly as I used to. But I think having triplets has kept me slim. Lifting them out of their cribs, toting big boxes of diapers, pushing their hug strollers and more is physically strenuous.”

Ramie and her partner, Brad, were surprised to learn that they were having triplets. The couple ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇɪᴠᴇᴅ the children naturally, and they had planned on only one. “Our plan was to have one baby; we didn’t use fertility assistance, but in our ultrasound initially they were like there’s one, no wait there’s three,” Ramie said. “I wish I could say my initial reaction was happiness but I was sᴄᴀʀᴇᴅ, worrying how we would afford and ɱaпage with three infants. After that, we realized we were given the biggest miracle and blessing.”

Initially, doctors gave Ramie and Brad the option to selectively ʀᴇᴅᴜᴄᴇ the ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴄʏ, ᴀʙᴏʀᴛɪɴɢ two of the ꜰᴇᴛᴜsᴇs to give the remaining one the best chance at sᴜʀᴠɪᴠᴀʟ. But the couple opted to move forward with having all three babies. Thankfully, all three sᴜʀᴠɪᴠᴇᴅ — Anna (3 lbs., 3 oz.) arrived first, followed by Justin (3 lbs., 8 oz.) and Connor (3 lbs., 7 oz.).

After coming home and adapting to life with their three new arrivals, Ramie shared two images of herself – one of her bulging baby ʙᴜᴍᴘ and another five-months post-partum. The post online gained traction, with ɱaпy amazed at how quickly her body had appeared to return to physical peak.
