She also recently posted a body positive message to other mums trying to get their bodies back after having their babies.
Body positive
Gemma wrote: “I’ve had loads of messages about my last post from woman saying they ‘wish they looked like that after a baby’.
“I wanted to clear this up before any women / new mums beat themselves up (because we do that any way before children never mind afterwards when we’re full of hormones!).
“Mia is one year old in nine weeks. It’s taken me ALMOST A YEAR to get my shape back and I’m still not as strong as I was pre-baby.
“These pictures above are me six weeks after Mia.
“Fuller faced, softer, heavier with my little pouch but I’m still smiling because my body had just produced a human after carrying her for 9 months.
“That’s what new mums need to remember.
“Not what jeans they used to be able to get in, because you will get back in them again IF you work for it and make some sacrifices.”

After baby advice
Gemma added: “It’s a guarantee that if you’re prepared to do the work you’ll get the result.
“We may not all be blessed with another baby. Some woman aren’t even blessed with their own.
“So please don’t let your head ruin what your wonderful body has accomplished by filling it with fear and doubt and negativity about how you look after becoming a mother.
“For three months at least just let your body rest, recover and focus on your wonderful baby.
“That’s what I did and I’m so glad I did because it’s time I won’t get back. It’s flown by. Everyone told me it would. Make the most of it.”
