After giving birth to her son Cree last month, Kate Ferdinand has been brutally honest online about her first weeks of motherhood and has been praised by fans for her frankness.
Opening up about her challenges with her Instagram followers, Kate, 29 – who is also stepmum to former footballer Rio Ferdinand’s children Lorenz, 14, Tate, 12, and Tia, nine – candidly admitted how hard she’s found things. “I’ve always been super emotional – whatever I’m feeling, everyone always knows. I like to wear my heart on my sleeve,” she said. “Since giving birth, my emotions are still all over the place. I cry often – I feel so happy with our beautiful new addition but often have moments of feeling overwhelmed. I don’t know whether I’m coming or going most days.”
Along with the heightened emotions being a new mum can bring, the Ex-TOWIE star confessed that being in lockdown has made it even more difficult.
Sharing a note from her stepchildren on Instagram which read, “Pls stop crying I love u,” she wrote alongside, “Just when I thought the screaming baby would drown out the sound of my tears, I get this through the door as if I wasn’t emotional enough.”
