‘It’s very hard to not focus on getting back into shape but looking back at these pictures makes me so in awe of my body and what it’s achieved.
‘I grew a human. So grateful to have been able to do that.
‘I had a positive experience with birth and pregnancy, I absolutely loved it and I am sending all the pregnant ladies, fellow parents and people that want children so much love.
‘Greatest gift of all time with a sprinkle of pain and burning.’
The influencer who has documented her journey as a first time mother to her 1.2M followers shared a carousel of snaps along with the touching caption.
She posted a snap pregnant, an hour after birth, a day after birth of her postpartum body and a fourth snap of baby Jude.

His strip of tissue attaching the tongue to the floor of the mouth is shorter than usual, causing the difficulties Montana had with breastfeeding him.
And now she has told how ‘things feel horrible’ as her little one continues to be unwell.
Taking to her Story with an update she said: ‘Thanks for your kind messages and to those who have had similar experiences. It makes me feel less alone and like there is light at the end of the tunnel. It just feels horrible at this stage.’
She added that they were going to see an osteopath on Wednesday about the tension in his neck and face.
Montana added: ‘He has also been throwing up a lot like projectile which is not normal so we are seeing a paediatrician too as his skin is also a bit rashy.
‘In case it is allergies I am going to cut out egg, gluten, soy and dairy and see if that makes a difference too.’
She went to say his breathing was not quite right either and that she wasn’t sure what was causing what due to the different symptoms.
Montana then did another story as she posed with a sleepy Jude and gave another update.

She penned: ‘And on top of everything Jude now has a gammy and sticky eye… g I have no clue how the mum influencers are looking so fresh and have time for makeup and nice clothes.
‘All my clothes have sick, excess milk and poo on so I’m sticking to old clothes which I don’t mind being covered hair needs a wash, kitchen needs cleaning, got a sh***y nappy next to me + ba to get up and put in the bin.
‘And I need to figure out what we’re having for dinner that’s gluten, egg, dairy and soya free.
‘Also Zola needs a walk so wish me luck lol. Despite all this I’m actually so happy just looking after this little human despite me resembling a toe. Who cares!’
