BBC Breakfast star Nina Warhurst has been inundated with supportive messages after sharing a candid post in celebration of her daughter Nancy's three-month birthday

Taking to Instagram over the weekend, the business presenter said she felt "proud" of herself for bringing a baby into the world, encouraging other mums to reflect on the "magnitude" of growing and birthing a child.

"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."

After admitting that her third pregnancy had been "harder" and was followed by a "tougher" delivery and "longer" recovery, Nina assured her followers that she was "on the right track" and enjoying "life in the slow lane". 

Later that month, Nina shared a sweet family photo showing the moment that her father Chris, who lives with dementia, met his new granddaughter for the first time. In the caption, Nina wrote: "When you wanted a squad of lads, but Ma Nature had other plans. Dad meets the latest addition. It was not quiet."
