Charlotte Crosby admits she ‘couldn’t look in the mirror’ after dissolving her lip filler

Charlotte Crosby treated fans to a candid Instagram Q&A on Tuesday as she opened up about her recent decision to remove her lip filler and her birth experience.

The 32-year-old Geordie Shore star welcomed her first daughter, Alba, in October and revealed that she already plans to make her a big sister ‘as soon as possible’.

Addressing her fans, Charlotte began by talking about her elective C-section, calling it a “quiet and beautiful” experience.

She revealed: ‘It was the most peaceful, beautiful and amazing experience of my entire life. I would go back and do it again and again and again tomorrow if I could.

‘My birth and hospital experience was the most incredible experience of my entire life.’

Charlotte, who had a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy in 2016, also explained why she chose not to have a natural birth.

She revealed: “Ultimately, I had a choice in how I wanted to deliver my baby (a choice we all have by the way) and that choice was one where I knew exactly how it was going to go, with little chance of complications. or risks to your health or life.

‘After losing a baby and almost losing my own life in a complicated pregnancy in the past. I am not willing to risk anything right now and I also have ZERO desire or urgency to want a natural birth. I will never rule it out in the future. But right now it’s impossible for me.

Detailing his recovery, he explained: “I felt certain little twinges in my scar when I moved or turned a certain way, so I really felt like I had to be very careful for the whole 6 weeks!

“I was in absolutely no pain, but I knew I wasn’t fully healed yet, so I admitted that I got frustrated like week 4/5 because I literally wanted to be jumping doing summer jumps, but something in the back of my head was like no no be careful [sic].’

She revealed that she’s sure she wants another child, however, when a fan said they could imagine her having ‘eight children’, she quipped: ‘I think you might be right and it’s the best job I’ve ever had. a mother. And I love going overboard it’s my thing [sic].’

For now, Charlotte is recovering from motherhood and is also picking up her fitness levels after giving birth.

Sharing a before and after photo taken after five weeks of workouts, she wrote: ‘Everything is shrinking even my lips I’m not going to lie I haven’t had any rest days and I’ve really committed to being active even if it’s hard! just a hike! ! [sic]’

She continued: ‘Working out makes me feel like me! My positive, driven energy can take over the world and although most of my workouts have been done at home with my little Alba looking on in awe, I feel like it has given me lovely breaks from just being a “mom” and taking care of myself. in a way that I love!

‘Doing something for yourself as often as possible is so so important as a parent! And it’s also very important to know that you can absolutely be YOU and take care of YOU and not just be a mom. [sic].’

She isn’t focusing on weight loss though, as Charlotte revealed that she isn’t concerned about how much she weighs.

She explained: ‘I still haven’t weighed myself since losing 3 pounds. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡!!!! But I’ll be checking back with the dreaded scales once my periods are gone! [sic].’

Charlotte then addressed her decision to dissolve her lip fillers last month, admitting that she’s been raving about her new look after her initial misgivings.

‘I had problems with them at first honestly!’ she confessed ‘I couldn’t even look in the mirror without feeling weird! But honestly, I’m so used to them now that I think I really like them. I’m going to keep them natural. [sic]’

Speaking previously on Nova Podcast, Charlotte explained: “I didn’t get my lips dissolved because of trolls, because quite frankly I’ve been trolled for so long by them and I didn’t care.

‘I love my lips, but it got to the point, after the pregnancy they had become very swollen. As in pregnancy you have a lot of water retention.

‘Everything swells up, you know your ankles, your face, your wrists, your fingers, your toes, how everything swells up in pregnancy.

“I saw the Geordie Shore reunion and I was watching it and I thought, ‘I look ridiculous.’ For the first time, I was like “I look ridiculous.”

‘And obviously I’ve had a girl now, you know what I mean? I told myself when I was watching myself on TV, and when I’m in my girl’s face… and I’m going [baby babble]and i’m making all these silly noises, can you even see us over those gigantic lips?

‘Can she even see who I am as a person? Eight years I had been operating on my lips. That’s a lot of filler in her lips. And I thought that everything had to go away.
