‘Seriously swollen’ Megan McKenna shows off post-baby body a week after giving birth saying ‘I look 6 months pregnant’
MEGAN McKenna has shown off her post-baby body while wearing just a pair of hot pants and admitted she is “seriously swollen”.
The new mum, 32, has bravely bared all just one week after giving birth to her son Landon via a c-section.
With her gorgeous newborn resting on her shoulder and with a muslin covering her modesty, Megan told fans she ‘still looks six months pregnant’.
However, the former TOWIE star has also confirmed her scar is healing well and that her badly swollen ankles and feet have gone down.
Megan took the snap while posing in front of the mirror and told her Instagram followers: “Just over 1 week postpartum.
“Still seriously swollen from the c-section & look six months pregnant.
“My scar is healing nicely though and the swelling of my feet has gone down.”
Admitting she is still in pain from her caesarean, Megan added: “Easier to sit up and down now but still so tender.
“Let’s put it this way, if I’m not on the meds it’s not fun. Back to the sofa for me in my throw away nappy.”
Megan and her footballer fiancé Oliver Burke welcomed their first child into the world on October 7.
The couple have recently moved to Germany for 27-year-old Oliver’s job with SV Werder Bremen and Megan had been busy nesting in their new home.
Following Landon’s arrival, Megan announced their happy news on social media, simply writing: “Landon Henry Burke 07.10.24. 08.33 am. 9.2.”
She also posted an adorable video of their first few hours together with their son.
Since then, Megan has continued to keep fans updated with her journey into motherhood.
The reality star has been frank about her experiences of breast feeding, admitting the early days ‘felt like razor blades’, and has said she has felt “overwhelmed, swollen and exhausted”.
But Megan has also posted a more blissful message about her baby bubble and shared a sweet video of herself singing to Landon.
She told fans: “This is what our day looked like (for an hour).
“Even on tiny sleep I love singing to you my little Landon… he’s struggled with his tummy today, the milk coming in is a lot on his baby belly and he’s been in a pickle bless him.
“I never thought id be so happy to hear a burp or be puked on. Haha.
“We had a better sleep night last night tho, feeding is so full on but I love it so much. Nothing can beat the feeling of him looking up at you.
“Anytime he can’t settle, singing does the trick. Just need to learn the lullaby’s again, I keep getting mind block.
“Also, the smile at the end…. I can’t cope.”
