"Remember ladies this is my third baby" — Cardi B returns to gym days after childbirth

Cardi B returned to the gym for a late-night fitness session less than 10 days after she gave birth to her third child. On September 15, 2024, the rapper took to Instagram Story to document her fitness training, adding that she was training on the Stair master for a week before starting with fitness coach @fitking_plem.

She also added that she was bedridden for one week when she gave birth her first two times.

“Since im off tonight im doing a late night gym session. No heavy lifting, no weight just straight stair master until next week and I start with @fitking_plem. Remember ladies this is my third baby …with my other 2 babies I was still on bedrest on my first week postpartum,” she said.

A few weeks before she gave birth, Cardi B called out people who were body shaming her, saying she had plans of getting "snatched" immediately after giving birth. In an Instagram Live session in August, she said:

“The time as soon as I give birth I’m going to work out. remember how y’all made me feel in May, and y’all hurt my feelings. Snap back is gonna be on a thousand.”

Cardi B shares her children with her estranged husband Offset

Cardi B welcomed her third child, a daughter, on September 7, 2024. She and her estranged husband Offset already share two children, Kulture, aged 6, and Wave, aged 3. Cardi announced her pregnancy in August, one day after she said she had filed for divorce from the Migos rapper.

"With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power!" Cardi wrote in the post announcing her pregnancy.

Cardi B and Offset married on September 20, 2017. They encountered several challenges in their relationship, with Cardi first filing for divorce in September 2020 amid rumors of Offset being unfaithful to her. However, the filing was dismissed as the pair soon reconciled.

In December 2023, the couple faced another setback, during which Cardi B called herself single in an Instagram Live session. They worked things out again and were spotted together, with Offset even directing the music video for Cardi's song Like What (Freestyle).

On July 31, 2024, Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset for a second time, saying it was a long time coming. On August 1, she revealed she was expecting her third child. Her pregnancy was not a smooth one, with the rapper revealing she had a freak accident that almost cost her her baby, on X Spaces on August 7.

“I had a f–king freak accident. I don’t know how something — well, it wasn’t little, it actually hurt. It doesn’t really happen often, but it become [sic] so big to the point I was literally paralyzed. And that little thing almost cost me my little one to come," she said in an X Spaces conversation.
