Chrissy Teigen has shared a candid insight into the struggles she's facing as a new mom after welcoming daughter Esti Maxine with her husband, John Legend earlier this month.

The 37-year-old admitted on Monday that she has to "bandage together" her "wound" following her C-section, and took to Instagram to post a photo of herself wearing a black midi dress which appeared to have stains where she lactated as well as in the middle of her outfit.

She also shared a close-up photo on her Stories of a stain on her top while sitting in a car, which she captioned: "Wonderful."

"Daddy sheds nightly tears of joy seeing Luna and Miles so full of love, and I am learning you still need diapers with a C section!? We are in bliss. Thank you for all the love and well wishes - we feel it all! X"
