Alongside a mirror selfie, she penned: ‘I can’t lie it is hard to look at your body after birth and gaining a lot of weight.
‘I definitely accept it more this time round but it’s hard to know how to dress and feel nice.
‘I feel like I still just want to be in my pjs 24/7 but I’m only a few weeks PP so I’m trying to relax with it but I’m excited to get back to myself, start my fitness journey again
‘New mums be gentle with yourself it’s not easy’.
In another post, the blonde beauty opened up about how painful breastfeeding can be after she revealed she needed medication due to complications.
This then lead to mastitis, which is a painful inflammation of the breast tissue and is common for breastfeeding women in the first six weeks after giving birth.
Opening up about the realities of feeding a newborn naturally, Lottie penned: ‘It’s been really hard. I don’t think people realise sometimes how hard it is!
‘Lucky didn’t latch so I used nipple shields for around 7 weeks, Flossie latched straight away but the pain was so bad, had them both bleeding in the first few hours and then scab up and had to feed through them healing.
‘I had mastitis too on day 5 but luckily caught it early and it cleared with antibiotics. It’s still a bit sore on latch and very demanding but I’m hoping to stick it out a bit longer.

Lottie announced her second pregnancy in July, 2024, by sharing a video of her growing baby bump with social media followers.
She wrote: ‘Our little family is growing we feel so excited and blessed that another beautiful baby is joining us in Jan 2025.’
Lottie became acquainted with Lewis at a house party in May 2020 hosted by Caroline Flack’s close friend Lou Teasdale, held to mark three months since her tragic passing.
The pair are said to have bonded over the grief of losing their respective loved ones.
Lottie sadly lost her mother and sister in recent years and Lewis lost Caroline in February 2020.
Her sister Félicité, 18, died after an accidental drug overdose, three years after the death of her mother Johannah, who died of cancer.
The couple announced the birth of her son Lucky in an Instagram post on August 9, 2022.
Alongside a picture of her newborn son, she wrote ‘dreams do come true’, while a post from her sister Phoebe confirmed the couple had welcomed a baby boy.
Then in November 2023, the pair got engaged in Paris – after three years of dating.

At the time of their proposal, the couple shared video footage of the moment Lewis got down on one knee.
Lewis took Lottie and Lucky off for a weekend getaway and pulled out all the stops with decorating the hotel room for the romantic proposal.
He created a path of red rose petals and candles to lead a glamorous Lottie to him where he got down on one knee.
With their son present to witness the magical moment, Lewis pulled out a huge diamond ring.
