CASEY Batchelor has posted an honest snap of her "real" post-baby tummy four weeks after giving birth.
The new mum shared an unfiltered snap of herself holding her new baby Florence and was praised by parents for showing what a woman's body really looks like after giving birth.
Casey, 33, welcomed her first child last month and she has now given fans a real glimpse into life as a new parent.
She shared a picture of her baby belly totally unfiltered, showing fans that it's not normal to snap straight back into shape a month after giving birth.
She wrote: "This is what a belly really looks like after birth...
";Yes it looks like I still have a baby in there."
She was bombarded with supportive messages from fans , who praised her for her honesty.
One wrote: "Someone finally showing what a post baby tummy actually looks like!"
Another commented: "Thank you for showing women the reality of a post-birth figure...
"So many celebs make women feel inferior for not snapping straight back into shape so this is a refreshing change."
Casey previously revealed she was in "unbearable" pain during childbirth and the epidural left her bed-bound with severe headaches and "depression".
The model welcomed Florence on May 24, but her labour wasn't plain-sailing.

"My body was in so much shock that I was vomiting over myself. Dane was so worried. I said: 'I literally can’t do this any more. Get me the epidural!’
"Right now I don’t know if I could do that pain again. She was worth it, though."
Casey has been in a relationship with Florence's dad, Dane Goodman, for two years.
