Nadine Mulkerrin and her Hollyoaks' co-star Rory Douglas-Speed welcomed their first baby boy, Reggie Speed, together last week.
The soap star, 26, bravely took to Instagram on Wednesday to open up about her postpartum experience and shared a series of honest snaps debuting her post-baby body.
The Cleo McQueen star wrote: "1 Week Postpartum! Was thinking should I really post a pic of my bare ass on insta ...
"Then I thought bugger it!! The recovery is tough, the tears have lifted, my t*** are big brown aggressive and slightly Pamela Anderson-esque but you can’t do anything fun with them! "
Nadine continued: "Between getting your partner to inject you and put suppositories in mysterious places it’s been a barrel of laughs! It’s the best rollercoaster I’ve ever been on I don’t wanna get off!"
She finished by praising all mums and called them 'amazing' before revealing that it is 'all worth it'.
The carefully-positioned nude snaps showed Nadine proudly displaying her body and embracing the post-pregnancy changes.
The star appeared to boast a stunning pregnancy glow in the snaps as she sported a scraped back hairstyle and no make-up look.
Nadine gave birth to her son last week with her Hollyoaks' co-star Rory Douglas-Speed.
Proud first-time dad Rory broke the news with an excited post, sharing the first picture of his new arrival being cradled in Nadine's arms.
"Welcome to the family wee Reggie Speed 15.8.19," he wrote.
"We love You man. So proud of Nadine, I didn't think I could love her anymore but my heart is bloody bursting! She was amazing throughout her labour. Women are seriously Superhuman x."
The happy couple, who met on the set of the Channel 4 soap, got engaged last December after dating for a year.
Nadine revealed she was expecting when she showed off her bump on the red carpet of the British Soap Awards this year.
Their characters - Joel Dexter and Cleo McQueen - got married themselves on Hollyoaks, and Rory followed suit months later with his own proposal.
Rory recently took to Instagram to show how he is embracing life as a new dad but also admitted he's never been so tired.
He posted a sweet snap as he lay in bed topless with little Reggie sleeping soundly on his chest. Rory captioned it: "Never had such big bags under my eyes, but it’s all worth it! #prouddadspam".
The couple have remained totally honest about parenthood with their fans and followers since welcoming their bundle of joy.
Nadine even joked that she made her beau drive at just 5mph on the way home from the hospital to ensure no harm came to their new arrival.
