The following day, on Wednesday, Wheatley proudly shared an Instagram story of her post-pregnancy body in her bathroom, with the caption: “Bod update.”

“This is what mum life really really looks like”.

The story was a photo of Wheatley in maternity underwear; “breast feeding bra, popped belly button, hospital undies, giant maternity pad.”

Wheatley added that her ‘new-mum look’ came complete with “swollen eyes”.

Wheatley has also shared other photos of adorable little Forest, in his crib by the Christmas tree, and buckled in safely on his first car trip.

Just seven hours ago, the proud mum added a photo of herself in bed, to her Instagram stories, reassuring other mums, "I know I look tired but it's honestly not even bad, I don't know why people try and worry you!"

Explaining that she was "soooo stressed" she wouldn't get enough sleep, Wheatley said she feels "totally fine" and is "taking in every moment."

Obviously embracing her new role, Wheatley also wrote;

"Being a mum is honestly the best thing I've ever experienced."

Wheatley announced her pregnancy in June of this year, with a photo of herself and Lachlan. The couple have been together since November, 2017.

“Couldn’t think of anything better than starting a family with this handsome man,” she wrote at the time.
