Love Island presenter Laura Whitmore has opened up about motherhood in an honest Instagram post.
The 35-year-old recently gave birth to a baby girl with her husband Iain Stirling and has taken to social media to tell her followers about her first few weeks as a mother.
In the post, Laura urged new mums to stop comparing themselves to others.
She said: "Little tip for speaking to new mums... everyone has a different experience so please don’t put your opinion or expectation on them. I’ve been told I won’t be able to leave the house and should feel shit. But I actually feel the best I’ve felt ever and the happiest I’ve ever been in my entire life.
"And maybe feel a bit guilty for feeling good as I’ve been told I shouldn’t. But I’ve created something incredible. I had a positive natural birth with thankfully no complications and a baby that LOVES the boob (and jaysus those boobs are looking good!) also a supportive partner who loves changing dirty nappies (well at least he does them anyway!) I am lucky that’s my truth at the moment- I’m sure there will be tougher days.
"But you should never compare yourself to anyone else as your journey is specific to you. Stop comparing bodies and situations. My body is not here for your comparison so please don’t judge it. Support other women, it doesn’t knock you - in fact it empowers you. Just a thought x."
And many fans were quick to applaud the new mum for her words.
One said: "This is so lovely to hear. Long may the positive mama experiences continue."
While one wrote: "And brilliant said lovely and as long as I’ve known you, you’ve ALWAYS been so supportive of other women!"
Another added: "Well said, people are too quick to judge and pass on their negative vibes."
Just this week, Laura returned to work on the Celebrity Juice set just shortly after giving birth.
She shared a sweet snap on her social media account of her breastfeeding her little girl while getting her hair done.
It is unknown what name Laura and Iain have decided to give their little girl but we're sure it'll be absolutely beautiful!
