Atomic Kitten star Natasha Hamilton strips to black bikini weeks after giving birth as she discusses mum struggles
ATOMIC Kitten star Natasha Hamilton looked incredible as she stripped down to a bikini for a day in the sun before opening up on her mum struggles.
The popstar gave birth to her fifth child just weeks ago and has already given her Instagram followers a peek into her life as a new mum for the fifth time around.
The Whole Again songstress, 41, welcomed little girl Kitty – her first tot with husband Charles Gay – last month.
As well as a candid post where she opened up on the challenges she has faced following her recent pregnancy, she also found time to bask in the glorious sun as she enjoyed a chill-out session amid the chaos of her busy life.
Dressed in a simple black bikini, Natasha put on a busty display as she admitted her surprise at the 25 degree heat.
She then added: “Just enjoying a little vitamin D before kitty needs the boobs again.
“Slightly exhausted today with lots of cluster feeding again but I LOVE the fact she’s taken to breastfeeding so well and getting bigger by the day.”
Speaking of donning her bikini so soon after giving birth, the singer said: “I put my bikini on this morning and thought…no bad for a geriatric mum! I just keep telling myself how incredible the journey has been so far and this post baby stage is not one to be rushed at all.
“And it’s actually nice to be out of maternity underwear, even if it is only for a few hours!”
Relaxing at home in Chester, she then shared another snap of her cradilling baby Kitty the day before as she opened up on their weekend in the sunshine together.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star said: “So yesterday was our first day out in the sun since Kitty was born and it felt so nice to be able to put her in a little summer dress and get out & about (although nothing fits her still!)
“This is definitely the beginning and end of summer all in 1 week! Crazy really, and just as the kids go back to school, so typical!”
She went onto add of her motherhood journey so far: “I still feel a little uneasy being out & about alone with kitty.
“She’s a very vocal baby and with her being preterm & breastfeeding, she’s quite clingy and doesn’t like to be in the car seat too long some days.
“I’ve not managed to do any driving with just me & her, I feel too nervous still. But I have organised a coffee morning with my girls next Monday so that’s something to work towards for us both.”
Natasha also gave her fans a further update on her breastfeeding journey with Kitty, saying: “Breastfeeding is going strong although last night she had some mammoth feeds so I’m feeling it today!
“Thankfully the weather is insane again so I’m in the garden chilling just waiting for her to wake up and feed again!”
The star received ample praise for being so honest about the ups and downs she has faced so far with one fan telling her: “Loving your honesty – it can be so daunting those first few weeks/months even. It looks like she’s in the best if hands though x.”
As another penned: “Awww she’s beautiful and you look amazing.”
While a third said: “Your doing amazing & looking amazing in the process.”
Natasha shares Josh, 20, with Fran Cosgrave, who she was with between 2001 and 2002.
Her son Harry, 18, is from her relationship with Gavin Hatcher.
The star is also mum to Alfie, 13, who she shares with Riad Erraji, who she was married to between 2007 and 2013.
Her current youngest child, Ella, is from her relationship with Ritchie Neville between 2013 and 2016.
