Natasha Hamilton posed in her underwear just 12 days after giving birth to her fifth child.<\/p>\n
The mum-of-five gave birth to a baby girl less than two weeks ago and bravely shared a selfie of her body post-partum in a full length mirror.<\/p>\n
Taking to Instagram, the 41-year-old posed in white underwear as she penned a lengthy message, in view of her 158,000 followers.<\/p>\n
She began: “This is the 1st picture I\u2019ve taken of my body post-baby. I didn\u2019t take it to compare to my old body, but because I am so proud of what my body has achieved over the years.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019ve just had my 5th baby at age 41. I\u2019ve been through the mill with my body over the years and not always felt so proud of it. When I was younger, I feel like there was so much pressure to ‘bounce back’ after babies. To be a certain clothes size.<\/p>\n

No diets as I\u2019m breastfeeding. There\u2019s no pressure. My approach is of love and giving thanks that my body has housed my baby and kept her safe for almost 9 months.<\/p>\n “I haven\u2019t figured out yet where I want to start on my fitness journey this time?

But whatever I do, I\u2019m going to enjoy the process & embrace the new stretch marks, mummy pouch and thread veins all over my legs.
