For many women, welcoming a baby into this world is one of those peak experiences that alters your identity. And although becoming a parent does change one\u2019s lifestyle entirely, Shay Mitchell said she still experiences moments of disbelief that she is someone\u2019s mother.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In an interview with <\/span>Women\u2019s Health<\/span><\/a>, Mitchell shared how pregnancy and raising a baby changed the way she viewed her body. In fact, the 34-year-old actress said it took one year after birthing Atlas \u2014 Mitchell\u2019s 1-year-old daughter who she shares with partner Matte Babel \u2014 to finally feel like her pre-pregnant self. \u201cI hit the pause button\u2026 I was like, \u2018Well, what am I getting ready for?\u2019\u201d she told Women\u2019s Health while reflecting on the frequent time she spent on the floor with her immobile infant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Mitchell\u2019s slow-paced maternal routine took a turn when she committed to a partnership with Openfit. For four weeks, working out five days a week became her job, and the actress began to feel like herself again. She even posted a photo to Instagram with before-and-after shots of her body and noted that she felt more \u201c<\/span>healthy, energetic, and engaged.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
