Stacey Solomon has admitted that she "can't function" as she gave an update to her fans on social media on just how hard being a mum of five really is.
It comes just weeks after her daughter Belle's birth, when the 33-year-old delivered her third child with her husband Joe Swash last month saying the tot "literally flew" into the world as she gave birth at home,
The Sort Your Life Out host is known for keeping her loyal fleet of followers updated on life as a busy mum, as she dotes on Belle, one-year-old Rose and Rex, three, with Joe as well as her older sons Leighton and Zachary from her previous relationships.
Joe is also a proud dad to his teenage son, Harry, who he shares with ex-fiancee Emma Sophocleous. The loved-up couple tied the knot in a stunning intimate ceremony in the garden of their family home last July.
On Sunday night, after being relatively quiet on her social media pages, Stacey took to Instagram with a photo of herself cradling her five-week-old daughter as she got ready to try and get some shut-eye, reports Manchester Evening News.
The Loose Women star, who was dressed in a matching grey tracksuit, gave a wry smile to the camera as her daughter stretched out in her arms in a white baby grow.
"I managed to express four ounces through today," Stacey penned alongside an emotional face emoji.
"So me and Belle are having an early night and daddy is taking over the 2am feed and hopefully we feed again at 5/6." She went on to say: "Honestly, I can't function at the moment [cyring laughing emoji].
"So I'm excited to hopefully not feel like a zombie tomorrow. Happy Sunday everyone. Lots of love from us," she added.
It comes after she didn't hold back when she was quizzed on how she is managing to juggle three children under three.
Appearing on Instagram last Wednesday, Stacey shared a screenshot of a message she received from a mum of three asking her how she keeps it together. They said they too had a six-week-old daughter and was 'soaking up' the precious time but is also juggling a nine-year-old and a 15-month-old.
Stacey replied via an Instagram Story video, saying: "Public service announcement for anyone who's ever felt like ‘oh my gosh, it looks like they’ve got their sh*t together and I really haven’t’, please don’t feel like that. You’re doing an incredible job."
She added: "I know it looks like I’ve gone straight back to normal as if I never gave birth – it feels like that, if I’m honest – but it’s only because the whole sleep when she sleeps, make sure you take time to rest and recover, don’t do anything too quickly goes all out the window when you have a one-year-old.
"It’s incredible this age gap: three, one and zero, I’m so grateful to have three young babies that I can raise together and can grow up together. I’m honestly so grateful. But I can assure you that 100% of the time, I feel absolutely f***ed." She then went on to laugh: "You're not alone."
Stacey then wrote alongside the clip: "Just a PSA that you’re doing amazing. Rest up if you can. You deserve it. And never forget that although it seems I'm doing lots with 3 babies at 3, 1 & 1 month. I'm so grateful to be raising them all together BUT just know 100% of the time I feel f**ked," and added a crying laughing emoji.
