Been there.

Kathryn Thomas welcomed her first baby girl, Ellie, a few weeks back.

Since then, the Operation Transformation presenter has been sharing little snippets of her life as a new mother, but her latest one absolutely has to be the most relatable.

Taking to Instagram, Kathryn shared an adorable photo of baby Ellie on a changing mat.

The caption read:

“My gorgeous girl.. but seriously how can something this small produce such an extraordinary amount of (poo emoji).

“Going through nappies like nobody’s business.”

Been there, Kathryn.

Oh, we’ve been there.

Turns out lots of other people have been too and they took to Kathryn’s Instagram comments to let her know.

“I remember that time. I’d go back there even with all the (poo emojis),” wrote one person.

“She’s a little beauty, enjoy every minute,” said another.

Ellie is the presenter’s first child with fiancé Padraig McLaughlin.

Kathryn announced that they were expecting late last year, having previously spoken honestly about her past miscarriages and her desire to start a family.

She said:

“For us, it wasn’t just the miscarriages, it was the length of time it was taking to get pregnant, like three years, and you have the stress of that on top of everything else as well.”

The 39-year-old was praised highly for her open discussion of miscarriages.
