"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.
Speaking to , she said: "I got up to 9.5cm dilated just on gas and air, but the pain became unbearable.
"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.
