‘Since talking to you all and other mums… I’ve really felt like I can relate to you all so much and have stopped beating myself up if every day doesn’t go to plan.’  

And Kate revealed last week that she felt motivated to workout ahead of treating herself to chocolate eggs for Easter.

‘More room for Easter eggs later,’ wrote the new mum alongside a video of her lifting weights in the gym.

Earlier this month Kate revealed she doesn’t love her postpartum body.

She said: ‘Let’s talk post pregnancy body. I’ve really held off on uploading any pictures with my body in because last time I did, for some reason, I felt all types of nerves and ended up deleting it … hormones, or the pressure of Instagram to look a certain way? Who knows, but either way, I’ve finally plucked up the courage. Here I am.

‘I’m finally starting to slowly feel more like “me” again, but it hasn’t been plain sailing. I was seeing lots of ladies, and I salute you, saying they love and embrace their post pregnancy body; I wish I felt like that but in all honesty …

‘I love that my body produced our baby BUT quite frankly, I don’t love my post baby body. I miss feeling fit & strong!’
