Laura Anderson has opened up about being post-partum, arguing that it is "without a doubt" the "hardest" part of pregnancy.
The former Love Island star, 34, welcomed her baby daughter Bonnie Rose Lucy Anderson with her ex Gary Lucy earlier this month, and has since been sharing her early motherhood with her social media followers.
Laura has now shared a video clip of her post-partum body, to which she added the text: "I wasn't going to share this as it was just to send to my friends & family but who cares.
"This is my post partum body day 12 I actually feel alright today (I sweat it's the fake tan [laughing emoji]"
"I'm starting the pelvic floor exercises tomorrow to bring the abdominal muscles back together but feeling pretty good today. Ps I hope you like my disposable pants and no I haven't washed my hair for some time."
In the caption Laura opened up about the difficulties of being post partum, as she wrote: "Post Partum is without a doubt the hardest part of pregnancy in my opinion.
"Not that I’m complaining, life is wonderful and im very lucky to have a healthy baby girl in my arms but it’s a lot [laughing emoji] I’d love to share my recovery must haves for anyone due soon and just in general what I’ve learned and needed most after labour.
"Hats off to all the mummas and supportive fathers out there, I actually think there should be some emotional support for partners after birth too."
She continued: "Anyway not my usual post but I just wanted to say whatever your postpartum body looks like just know it’s perfect, you are healing and even if we don’t go back to our old selves maybe the new us will be even better.
"I say this as I currently soothe my saggy boobies in the bath thanking them for feeding bubba everyday. All my love L & B"
It comes after Laura fell victim to social media mum-shaming after she shared a photo of her pet dog Buddy alongside her daughter.
As people told her to "get Bonnie away" from Buddy, one of Laura's fans commented: "People are so crazy my gosh some of these comments – don't like it don't follow".
Clearly thankful for the support, Laura then replied: "poor buddy, he literally goes nowhere near her bless him".
However, the majority of comments left under Laura's post about Bonnie were positive, with many flocking to congratulate the new mum.
"She's so alert! Such beautiful big eyes," one person wrote, while a second said: "Omg she is sooo adorable – how blessed you are. A wee bundle of joy as my mum used to say".
A third person added: "Gorgeous baby. Those eyes," and a fourth commented: "She's so precious".
