Lindsay Lohan praised for showing off her ‘real body’ after giving birth

LINDSAY Lohan has been praised for her "realness" after showing off her figure just weeks after giving birth.

Last month, American screen star Lindsay, 37, revealed she had welcomed her first baby with husband Bader Shammas, also 37.

The Freaky Friday actress, who originally shared the news in March, also let slip the unique name of her baby boy: Luai.

Now three weeks after her happy news was made public - with the tot's exact arrival date unclear - she has taken to her Instagram page to post a snap celebrating her new figure.

Lindsay was seen posing in a light blue crop top paired with grey shorts.

She went make-up free and left her auburn hair flowing over her left shoulder in the glowing image posted with a candid caption.

In it, the Mean Girls favourite opened up on her first experience of motherhood - leaving fans to suggest she has "never looked more beautiful."

Lindsay wrote: "I am so proud of what this body was able to accomplish during these months of pregnancy and now, recovery.

"Having a baby is the greatest joy in the world! My OOTD lately is my @fridamom postpartum underwear.";

Making a mean girl reference to the line "cool mum", she added: "Because I’m not a regular mom, I’m a postpartum mom."

Her underwear brand partner Frida Mom commented: "From Parent Trap to parent, you look amazing - in our underwear of course."

A fan then commented: "You’ve never looked more beautiful."

A third user then wrote: "You’re not a regular mom. You’re a cool mom," as another wrote: "Thank you for showing the realness.

"It sucks seeing all these celebrities 'snapping back' to a six pack after a month post partum."

One fan added: "You’re amazing," as another surmised: "You look wonderful queen! Motherhood is a beautiful look on you!

"Much love to you and your family!"

Lindsay and Bader welcomed her first bundle of joy in news that was confirmed by 

“The family is over the moon in love," a rep for the couple shared.
