Stacey Solomon's Post-Natal Struggles

Stacey Solomon has opened up about the difficulties of life with a newborn since welcoming her third son.

The TV presenter gave birth last month to her first child with partner Joe Swash, and is speaking out about the struggles, which include breastfeeding, in the hope that other new mums will be comforted by her realistic account of motherhood.

Writing on Instagram, Stacey said: "Today is a smiley day, it's been an interesting week. But it feels like the fog is lifting and I'm coming out of the fuzz. I'm so grateful to have our baby boy with us and be surrounded by my incredible family - my biggest privilege. But it doesn't mean it's been all rosey and glossy.

"Hormone surges + really struggling to breastfeed + no sleep what so ever + engorged boobs + cracked nipples + absolutely anything as minuscule as somebody kissing my babies head = total meltdown.

"I've found myself spontaneously uncontrollably sobbing into my mums arms, at least twice every day. Then I feel guilty that I'm not 'enjoying every second' like everyone tells you too because it passes by so quickly (and it does, my eldest is 11 and I feel like I just blinked and that happened). But sometimes I'm just not in control of my emotions, and I can't feel guilty about having sad points it's counter productive."

However the former 'X factor' contestant added that she's over the moon with the new addition. "I'm really feeling happy today which is amazing, but I'm ready to accept any sobbing or sadness that sneaks up on me at any point," she explained. "If it doesn't hallelujah, but if it does I'm no less of a mother for feeling that way. And to anyone else feeling or who has felt that way, don't ever let those feelings make you feel that you weren't good enough, you were and you are. Its ok not to be ok."
