Kelly Ripa has an on-set horror story that’ll infuriate many mommas out there!

She only gave birth a little over a week beforehand, and they expected her to already be back at her pre-baby bod?! Ugh. Kelly explained to guest Hilarie Burton:

Plenty of moms undoubtedly can relate to what Kelly went
