Charlotte Dawson proudly embraces her postpartum body and calls it 'magical'

Charlotte Dawson has shared an inspiring photo of her post-partum physique, much to the delight of her supportive fanbase.

The social media star took to Instagram on Wednesday to give her 1.3m followers a candid update following the birth of her second child, Jude, whom she welcomed with her fiancé Matt Sarsfield on July 30. In the full-body mirror selfie, Charlotte is wearing a black maternity bra and matching underwear as she cradles her beloved newborn son. The 30-year-old's stretch marks, which she has affectionately nicknamed 'my tiger stripes', are visible across her belly as she beams for the camera.

"Proud of my 10 day post partum bodehhh," Charlotte captioned the snap, which has already received 20.9k likes. She went on to reveal that she is "fully embracing" her new physique, adding, "Isn’t the woman’s body just magical?" She finished the empowering post by admitting she "can’t believe I’ve birthed two beautiful boys" before signing off with a blue heart emoji.

It didn't take long for Charlotte's fans to share their reactions, many of which were gushing their support for her authentic post. "I love this. True representation of the post partum body. Normalising this is so important, not flat tummies making mums feel like crap," one person wrote.

"Your such a positive role model for both young and older mammas. You helped me in my newborn stage with your posts and this will resonate with so many other mothers," another impressed follower commented. "Keep being you."

Charlotte announced the birth of baby Jude on July 30, taking to Instagram to share the joyous news with fans. The Celebs on the Farm star revealed that her second son had made a "speedy entrance" into the world, arriving within an hour of her admission to the maternity ward.

"I was adamant for a section but his head came out on the theatre table with no chuffin pain relief guys !!!", she revealed in the lengthy caption. "Everybody did warn me saying your second baby flies out… hahahaha I wish I did listen." She has since shared multiple updates about being a mum to two very young tots on Instagram, including her difficulties with breastfeeding and fluctuating hormones.

Charlotte gave birth to her first child, Noah, with partner Matt, in January 2021. "It was a bit of a struggle & I ended up with a forceps delivery, but thank god we had a happy healthy baby boy," the proud mum said following the exciting milestone.
