She also opened up on the details surrounding Leo's birth for the very first time.
Writing online, the TV waitress said: "I made myself take this photo as much as I didn’t want to.
"Just a reminder of how incredible our bodies are. I carried a baby for 9 months, grew my beautiful Leo in this belly and I couldn’t feel more proud right now.

"This body laboured for 3 days, and after a failed induction we had an emergency c section, which obviously wasn’t our original plan."
Laura continued: "I’m swollen from waist down, can’t get any shoes on, so if you see me out in crocs, and maybe even socks, don’t judge me.
"Covered in bruises, my belly jiggles when I walk, my legs are so so swollen, and I’m stood here in a nappy with my nursing bra, but honestly I couldn’t be happier or prouder.
"And now the gestational diabetes has gone, you best believe I’m gonna be making up for it with all the food I missed out on and just enjoy this newborn bubble."
Her fans were left wowing over the Channel 4 star's post as they showered her in compliments.
One fan said: "Love that you are sharing this side of postpartum. It’s what I found the hardest."
Another added: "Amazing and beautiful to see and read."
A third shared: "You’re amazing mama. I’m sorry your birth didn’t go how you planned but what a precious little man you created."
