Stacey Solomon gave birth to her fifth child, daughter Belle, last month following a surprise pregnancy with the star announcing she was expecting just two months before she gave birth
Stacey Solomon has revealed she is finding the transition to newborn mum tough again, just a month on from giving birth to daughter Belle.
Belle arrived in February, after a surprise pregnancy that Stacey and partner Joe announced in December last year after keeping the news under wraps for months.
Belle is Stacey’s third child with husband Joe, after the couple welcomed daughter Rose in October 2021 and son Rex in May 2019.
With three children born so close together, Loose Women star Stacey has admitted she’s finding it tough to balance them all whilst she reassured fans it’s ok to not have everything together.

Stacey shared the candid confession on her Instagram to her 5.6million followers, as she responded to a message from a fan.
The message from a fellow mum said: “My little Princess is six weeks today and I am soaking it up as it’s going too fast, you seem to always have your s*** together even doing it alone how?
“I have a 9 year old, a 15 month old and a six week old. X”.
Speaking to the camera on her Instagram stories, Stacey was quick to reassure fans that she is still finding it a struggle, as she said: “Public Service Announcement for anyone who’s ever felt like oh my gosh, it looks like they’ve got their s*** together and I really haven’t. Please don’t feel like that, you’re doing an incredible job.
“And I know it looks like I’ve just gone straight back to normal as if I never gave birth – it feels like that.
“But it’s only because the whole sleep when she sleeps, make sure you take time to rest and recover, don’t do anything too quickly goes all out window when you’ve got a one year old!”
She added: “So I just want you to know like, don’t ever underestimate the fact that it’s incredible this age gap – three, one and zero.
“I’m so grateful to have three young babies that I can raise together, that will grow up together and I’m honestly so grateful. But I can assure you that 100% of the time I feel absolutely f*****. You are not alone!”
