She welcomed her son Cree in December with husband Rio Ferdinand. 

And Kate Ferdinand has revealed that she felt 'abnormal' and 'overwhelmed' adjusting to parenthood after having her little one.

The former TOWIE star, 29, said she struggled to recognise her own body and started to panic while experiencing the 'whirlwind of emotion' of becoming a new mum.

She told : 'There are so many things about motherhood that no one tells you. I'd had the baby and I was in this whirlwind of emotion. My body was not the body I recognised. I felt really overwhelmed.

'I was feeling really abnormal and I started panicking. 'Am I meant to be feeling like this?'

She added that she considered posting glamorous pictures in the weeks after giving birth by emergency caesarean but chose not to because it wasn't how she was really feeling. 

Instead she chose to post a candid selfie 11 days after giving birth showing her postpartum figure, which revealed a significant bruise on her thigh.

Now Kate says she 'felt like I had to share it', adding that she received lots of messages from other women feeling the same afterwards. 

She said she believes that is why it is right to 'not share the perfect pictures all the time'.   

The beauty went on to explain how it is hard to see out of the 'post-pregnancy bubble' after giving birth and said she felt like she would never go back to 'normal' or 'feel the same again'.  

However she added that 'you do come out of the other side' and 'you will feel OK'.  

Kate also admitted that when you are a new mum there is a lot of pressure to bounce back but said for 카지노사이트쿠폰 her it wasn't 'realistic' with having a newborn and looking after Rio's three other children Lorenz, 13, Tate, 11, and Tia, nine.  

She added: 'I would love to look how I looked before Cree but I am not putting a load of pressure on myself because things don't always go to plan when you have a baby.'
