“I really miss my bump and baby being inside me,” she said. “I don’t feel I appreciated it enough while I was pregnant and now it’s over.
“Joe and I didn’t have one picture of him with my bump.
“The thought of not having that memory has been really getting me down so today, Joe and my Dad helped me get a picture of what’s left of my bump to cheer me up. I love them so much.
“It’s not the same but it still means the world to me.”
Stacey, who has two sons from previous relationships continued: “For the record, for all of the people who asked me how excited I was to get my pre baby body back?

“Was I hoping to ‘snap back’? Am I going to train? Etc etc.
“I hate these questions. They’re pointless. And not important or relevant. No one knows how they’re going to feel and what we look like after birth is the very least of our worries.
“The truth is I’m devastated that my belly is shrinking by the day. I wish it could stay around for a little longer.”
“I feel empty and hollow,” she added. “Not to mention like I’ve been punched in the vagina.”
Stacey welcomed her first child with Joe last week.

She posted a gorgeous picture of Mum and Son lying side by side on the sofa and cot.
Alongside the image she wrote: “Welcome home, my love. Feeling ridiculously teary today.
“He’s just so teeny and precious and I want to do the very best I can by him. I never thought I’d say this but If I could put him back inside my tummy for another year I would.”
