Two months after she gave birth to her son, Chrissy Teigen has confessed to feeling “super insecure” about her post-baby body.
The TV presenter and her husband, singer John Legend, welcomed Miles Theodore in May – and the mum-of-two has been sharing constant parenthood updates ever since.
Her latest one involved her giving fans a close up of her stretch marks, as she declared “this is my new body”.
She captioned the video, which saw her zooming in on her stretch marks, as: “mom body alert”.

She followed it up with a series of posts on Twitter, where she explained her reasoning for sharing the unedited images.
She candidly admitted that she is “super insecure” about her post-pregnancy body, but that she hopes the photos would help her millions of social media followers to gain confidence.
Instagram is crazy. I think it’s awesome people have killer bodies and are proud to show them off (I really do!!) but I know how hard it can be to forget what (for lack of a better word) regular ol’ bodies look like when everyone looks bonkers amazing

also I don’t really call this “body confidence” because I’m not quite there yet. I’m still super insecure. I’m just happy that I can make anyone else out there feel better about themselves!

The mum’s comments appear to have really struck a chord with her followers, after they were re-shared and ‘liked’ tens of thousands of times.
