We're so pleased for her!
She's ditching the scales! September 08, 2019 - 20:50 BST Diane Shipley Ever since she gave birth to baby Mia on 4 July, actress Gemma Atkinson has been updating her Instagram followers on the ups and downs of new motherhood. Sometimes, that's meant sharing sweet clips of her partner, Strictly Come Dancing pro Gorka Marquez, cooing to their daughter in his native Spanish. Other times, that's meant filling fans in on the challenging circumstances around her daughter's arrival.
She went on to say: "As many of you know my birth wasn’t how I’d planned. I had 2 days slow labour leading to an emergency C section then a haemorrhage… Mentally I struggled for a while because I was frustrated at not being able to hold her for long, take her for walks, lift the car seat, I had pain around my scar when feeding, I felt a little helpless… At 6 weeks PP I was given the go ahead to start training again but only light cardio.

I’m softer all over and cardio wise not as fit & I’m definitely weaker so I still have a long way to go.
