Penning a lengthy message to accompany the picture the Celebrity Big Brother star explained that at first she struggled to accept her body after welcoming her first child, but has since grown to appreciate it.
She said: ‘Postpartum Body – I ❤️ You. It’s taken me three pregnancies to fully appreciate the postpartum body, it’s amazing, and I love it, you carried and grew my beautiful baby and I thank you for that.
‘After my first pregnancy I didn’t know what my postpartum body would be. I assumed I would go back to how I was before becoming pregnant, no one tells you really that you don’t.’

Casey added: ‘I had bad diastasis recti where I could sink my hand into stomach, and I cried thinking what has happened to my body and will I go back to how I was before. Of course in time I did but it was a huge shock.
‘After my second pregnancy I had a c-section, and I was so swollen and bruised and had basically been cut in half. So recovering from that was different to the first pregnant so again a big shock.
‘This time round, I know exactly what will happen and the appreciation I have for my body grows each time throughout my pregnancies and births. So I thank you postpartum body, you are never given enough love.
‘And of course I have my @yogablitz plan which has worked for getting myself back into shape after each birth in a healthy and steady way at my own pace.
‘And I can’t wait to do it all again this time round. Starting with my postnatal plan as I’m qualified in postnatal yoga and then when I’m feeling ready onto my fat burning @yogablitz plans. ‘Yoga is just so good for the soul as well as fitness.’
