    Kate Ferdinand has "cried often" since becoming a mother

    The former 'Only Way Is Essex' star - who has newborn baby Cree with her husband, soccer star Rio Ferdinand, admits she has had a few tough days since she gave birth to her little one


    During a Q&A on Instagram, she said: "I am slowly feeling better each day, it's a gradual recovery and I'm taking it really easy but it's good to be seeing little improvements daily. I've always been super emotional. Whatever I'm feeling everyone always knows. I like to wear my heart on my sleeve. Since giving birth my emotions are still all over the place, I cry often ... I feel so happy with our beautiful new addition but often have moments of feeling overwhelmed. I don't know whether I'm coming or going most days."

    Meanwhile, Kate previously opened up about the traumatic birth she experienced with Cree.

    In a lengthy Instagram post, she wrote: "What a bubble this is ... We are so obsessed with our little angel Cree. I just seem to stare at him for hours on end. Seeing the kids and him is literally what dreams are made of, feeling completely overwhelmed.

    "I wanted to share this with you. This is me ... and let me add this is a much better version of me than the last 10 days. After having an emergency c section, and a bit of a traumatic birth I’ve been completely wiped out. The happiness has been overwhelming but so have the tears and emotions, I’ve felt like I can’t do what I’m meant to be doing with Cree as I haven’t been able to change or feed him consistently which has had me feeling all types of guilt, for Cree, Rio & that I can’t be doing what I normally do for the kids. It’s a whirlwind I just wasn’t expecting ... but at the same time the most perfect whirlwind. (sic)"
