Steph Claire Smith and her husband Josh Miller welcomed their second child last month.
And the 31-year-old influencer has posted an optimistic health update for followers.
During the latest episode of KICPOD, the co-host unveiled a video detailing the physical changes she’s experienced in the past fortnight since welcoming daughter Billie Claire Miller into the world.
Initially showcasing her pre-pregnancy slender build, the video then displays Steph’s figure at the 41-week mark.

Over a span of fourteen days, progressively more shots display Steph’s belly shrinking noticeably, culminating in the final clip where her belly protrusion has significantly diminished.
‘The female body is phenomenal,’ Steph said in a lengthy story accompanying the post.
The wonder of giving birth to a human is truly astounding, and the body’s amazing adaptability throughout this process never ceases to amaze me.
She shared with her audience that she intended to inspire ‘differences in experience,’ emphasizing that every pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum period is unique.
‘I’m simply sharing it because I’m blown away with how my body has done what it has done.’
In another part of her post, Steph admitted that she sometimes felt ‘feeble,’ but she quickly recalls the ordeals her body has endured recently. Upon reflection, she realizes that this resilience is a remarkable demonstration of ‘power’ and ‘fortitude.’
She ended her post with a message to followers experiencing a similar path.
‘Be kind to yourself throughout your pregnancy journey,’ she said.
Observe the incredible feats your body accomplishes. Admire its power, especially in the postpartum period. Remember to treat it kindly as it works tirelessly to heal and readjust. Cherish every moment of this process unfolding within you.
Regardless of the alterations that may occur, they are merely signs of the achievements your body has made. Instead of rebounding back, strive to propel yourself forward into a revitalized version of you.
Followers were quick to enthusiastically support Steph’s post.
One admirer exclaimed, “You’re absolutely amazing!”, as another marveled, “The human body is simply stunning and incredibly wise.
‘My favorite is the happiness and self love I feel from you at every stage,’ messaged another.
Last month, Steph and her spouse, Josh Miller, declared the arrival of their second child.
‘She’s here,’ wrote Steph on the Instagram share.
On Wednesday, Billie Claire Miller became a part of our family, and we can’t help but feel deeply fond of her. We can hardly wait to introduce her to her big brother at home.
The fitness influencer announced in November she was expecting her second child.
Steph and Josh tied the knot in November 2019 in a festival-themed ceremony along the Murray River.
They got married exactly one year after getting engaged at the same location.
The happy couple went on to welcome their first child, Harvey, together in May 2021.
