Megan McKenna received praise on Wednesday after she proudly showed off her postpartum figure and opened up about how her body was recovering a week after her son’s birth.

And she’s continued to keep her followers updated as she navigates motherhood, sharing adorable photos of her little one and gaining insight into his breastfeeding and sleep progress.
She explained that her C-section scar and the swelling of her feet improved, but admitted that she was still “so sensitive” and dependent on medication.
Captioning the unedited photo, the new mom wrote, “Just over a week postpartum. Still severely swollen from the c-section and looking 6 months pregnant.
‘However, my scar is healing nicely and the swelling in my feet has gone down. It’s easier to sit up and down now, but still so tender.
‘Let’s put it this way: if I don’t take medication, it’s not fun. Back to the couch for me in my disposable diaper.”
It comes after Megan said she’s had ‘the best week of her life’ as she shared heartwarming new photos of her son on Sunday.
She shared a photo of herself cradling her newborn in hospital, with Oliver by her side, after her C-section and another baby breastfeeding him for the first time.
Other sweet photos showed Landon wrapped in a white baby dress as she slept peacefully, but Megan showed off her sense of humor and also included a photo of her swollen ankles.
In the accompanying caption, she joked, “The best week of my life. Ps tear my ankles’.

Megan welcomed Landon via C-section as she shared unedited videos as she gave birth in Germany, and in the post announcing his birth, she wrote that he was born on October 7 at 8:33 am.
Her famous friends flooded the comments with messages congratulating the couple on their new arrival.
The singer’s sister Milly wrote: ‘Oh our beautiful baby Landon, he is so loved already. I can’t wait to take on the aunt duties all over again, I love you all so much, I can’t wait to give him the biggest hugs ‘
Her former TOWIE co-star Georgia Kousoulou wrote: Awwwwwww, congratulations’ while Natayla Wright commented: ‘Congratulations Megan’.
Just last month, Megan left Britain and moved to Germany to be with her footballer fiance Olly, where she made the decision to give birth there.
The Scot plays as a right winger or forward for the German football team, Bundesliga club Werder Bremen.
In an earlier Instagram video, Megan announced, “Guess what! I’m moving to Germany. I know I wrote some stories yesterday about packing.
‘And I don’t think many of you thought I was going to give birth, but let’s hope I don’t, because I’m now giving birth in Germany.

‘I know a few of you were saying, ‘Where’s Olly?’ Olly is in Germany and all our stuff has been in storage for a few months.
‘It’s a bit strange that I’m moving countries. I’m actually excited, like it’s obviously going to be a big change.”
Megan revealed that they had to ‘move hospitals at the last minute’ and it was ‘crazy’ and ‘all a bit of a rush’.
The original plan was for Olly to fly back in time before her due date. However, Megan was worried her partner would miss the birth of their baby.
