In her recent interview for People magazine, Bianca talked about balancing motherhood and dealing with her post-baby body while working as a swimsuit model.

After the birth of her second daughter, Bianca stated: “It is a challenge, but it’s also a pleasure, because we are lucky to have these problems! As soon as I gave birth I had like 20 kilos, which I think is about 50 lbs., and I realized, oh my gosh, in one month I have my photoshoot,” Balti says. 

“So I had to lose a lot, and you know, it doesn’t happen in one month. So it took me almost a year because I think realistically it takes about a year. But it empowered me a lot, because I was training twice a day, and then going back to my baby, sleeping with the baby, and I did it and I felt empowered like I never felt before”, stated Bianca.
