EastEnders alum Louisa Lytton has marked being eight months postpartum by sharing a photo of her young daughter alongside a throwback of her baby bump.
The actress, 33, - best known for playing Ruby Allen on the BBC show - and her fiancé Ben Bhanvra welcomed their daughter, Aura Bhanvra, now eight months old, last August.
Louisa posted about her postpartum experience on Instagram on Sunday, sharing a photo of her eight month old daughter alongside another of herself at eight months pregnant.
The first photo showed Louisa holding Aura and kissing her on the cheek, whilst the second showcased the growing baby bump the actress sported during the pregnancy.
Louisa wrote in the caption: "8 months out... 8 months in. No bump, no boobs, less hair, less sleep."
She added: "One whole baby (going on teenager) later."
"It's the best time in the world. Cherish every moment," said one follower in response to the post. Another wrote: "Being a parent is the most amazing adventure any of us can do."

Fans who had seen the stage play praised the actressof her performance, with one writing: "You were amazing. Loved this production." Another said that she "looked stunning".
Meanwhile, she said a return to EastEnders is "up in the air" last month.
After she was asked by the Daily Star when she was planning on returning to the show, she said: "I'm not sure at the moment everything is still up in the air, I just don't know, now I've had a baby that's my priority."
