New mum Jorgie Porter says 'I don't think it's fair' as she's asked about 'getting back in shape' after giving birth

Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter has been sharing her journey as a new mum after welcoming baby boy Forest in November, and she was typically down-to-earth as she answered fan questions in a new Q&A. Jorgie told her followers "ask me anything" as she took to her Instagram Stories.

Jorgie, 35, shared snaps of herself with her adorable son as she gave an insight into how she's getting on as a new mum. Asked if she would consider having more babies 'to keep Forest company' she replied "never say never" with crying laughing emojis.

Asked "how are you doing? you look gorgeous btw" she replied frankly: "Thank you. I'm doing really well actually. Obviously some days are harder than others but am loving being a mum."

Jorgie gave another thoughtful answer when she was also asked: "How long did it take for your body to get back in shape? Did it just happen automatically?"

And she replied that her focus had been on her son, saying there's much pressure on women to 'bounce back' after giving birth. She typed: "I'll be honest I've just been concentrating on Forest and think because I've been running around and breastfeeding my body has just adjusted to this new life.

"Haven't headed back in the gym yet. So hard as I know there's soooooooo much pressure on women to 'bounce back' and our bodies change after pregnancy and birth so I just don't think it's fair to expect our bodies to go back to pre pregnancy." She added: "We've literally grown and birthed a human."

In February the star, who plays Theresa McQueen in the Channel Four soap, shared about her mishap-filled trip to get her baby son Forest his first passport with her fiance Ollie Piotrowski. "We're en route to get Forrest's passport," she explained. "So far we filled out the form wrong, we've forgotten his birth certificate and we took ages trying to find our passport photos.

"We also had to drop the dog off, drop another kid off at school and try and get there in time. I don't know how this is going to go, honestly we're just those people."
