Stacey Solomon has been praised for her VERY REAL post-birth picture.
The Loose Women star gave birth this morning, welcoming her third child, her first with boyfriend Joe Swash .
Stacey, 29, is regularly praised for being so real on social media.
She's not afraid to post pictures of her wobbly bits or show her fans that her baby bump was covered in hair.
The outspoken star also says she's in no rush to lose her baby weight - because there's absolutely no obligation for her to do so.
You go, Stace!
Now, she's taken it to a whole new level by showing what a mum really looks like after just giving birth.
Stacey looks absolutely exhausted as she lies back in her hospital bed.
She has her eyes closed and her brunette hair pulled up into a messy ponytail.
The T-shirt she's wearing is pulled up to her breasts and is covered in blood spatter.
Her newborn baby is lying on her chest, enjoying some skin-to-skin contact with mum, and is also covered in blood.
A blue towel that's pulled up over the little one also has spatters of blood on it.
Stacey's hand is lovingly placed on her new son or daughter.
One thing's for certain, it's a beautiful picture.
Her fans praised her for showing what childbirth really looks like.
One said: "Massive congratulations Stacey x beautiful photo showing how it really is. Much love to you both"
"Congratulations to you all, beautiful photo," another commented.
And one said: "Such a beautiful and real image so much love for you all"
Joe announced the birth of his and Stacey's first child with some beautiful words.
He shared the picture of Stacey on her Instagram account and said: "This morning. A lot earlier than planned I watched the love of my life, bring a new life into the world. We are overwhelmed, overjoyed and apprehensive of what’s to come. Mummy and baby are well and resting.
"We are so grateful for all of the love, support and positivity we’ve received over the last 8 months. I’m lost for words to describe how I’m feeling. So for now, I’m going to spend the next few days and the rest of my life falling more in love with these two humans.
"I didn’t think it possible but, today I witnessed the impossible. My partner, My love, my life, you are a super human. I am forever in awe. Joe X"
Stacey is already mum to Zachary, 11, and Leighton, six, from two previous relationships.
Joe, 37, is also dad to Harry, 11, from a previous relationship.
The couple are yet to announce the gender of their baby or the name.
