    Ashley James has a "whole new appreciation" for her body since becoming a mom

    The presenter and DJ admits she is "totally fascinated" with how her figure is changing after she gave birth to her son last week and she no longer "fears" how her body looks post-birth


    She wrote on Instagram: "Pregnancy and childbirth has given me a whole new appreciation for my body, and I look everyday at wonder at all the little changes. I've been documenting my body with total fascination ... I feel like we're taught to fear pregnancy, or how our bodies will look post-birth, but I feel like it's been the most liberating experience ... I look back at my body pre-pregnancy and realise any hang ups I ever had with my body had NOTHING to do with my body. (sic)"

    And Ashley - who has her son with partner Tom Andrews - is glad her body has changed over the past few months as her body has been "sexualised" for her whole life.

    She added: "I feel like there's all this talk of 'snapping back' - I've been asked countless times whether I'm going to be snapping back, or whether I feel pressure to ... I wish it wasn't even a question we had to be asked. And I've seen women being shamed for their body's ability to naturally shake off their weight. The truth is we're all so different, and right now I'm just fascinated at how my body is changing daily. I'm in awe of what it grew, how it grew, what it went through, and how it's changing now.

    "I love that my belly is a little wobbly as it's the perfect place for baby's little body to rest on for post feeding naps. He loves it. I also love that my body is being used for what nature intended - I'm not sure if this makes sense or not, but having had my boobs be sexualised ever since I was a teen, it's just so nice to see a baby feeding and sleeping on them. Bliss. (sic)"
