Nina Warhurst celebrated three months since her daughter Nancy was born

"Because I baked her, birthed her, am growing her via my boobies, and (after some lunchtime Beaujolais) am feeling brave enough to say I feel proud of that.

"Very grateful to the Fates that we've been able to do this - but it's not been a doddle. And all Mummys should take a moment now and again to drink some beauj, hold a fork of greens over the head of a dead fish and reflect on the magnitude of what they did."

Fans rushed to the comments section to praise the journalist's candid post, with one person writing: "Amen to that and a very well done," while another added: "Great post, great sentiment and you look fabulous too."
