Jesy Nelson has penned a loving message to fans on Instagram about her body, after stripping down to just a bra and underwear to celebrate motherhood.

The Little Mix star, 33, shared three striking black-and-white photos, showing herself holding her twins Ocean Jade and Story Monroe in the photos.

Nelson, who won X Factor as part of musical group Little Mix, lovingly spoke of her new relationship with her body after giving birth to her babies.

“I never thought it would have taken having two beautiful baby girls, that I could have potentially lost, to make me realise how incredible my body actually is,” Nelson began.

“33 years of extreme diets, 33 years of putting myself down wishing my belly was flatter, wanting my waist just a little smaller and almost going through with a boob job, to now standing here having this photo taken.”

Nelson explained she has never been prouder of her body.

“I can honestly say I’ve never felt prouder of my body and what it has been through! Yes my boobs hang lower and my belly is bigger and squishier — it doesn’t look how it used to, but my god it created the best gift that has ever happened to me.

“I cannot wait to show my girls the first place they called home and the place where they defied all the odds.

“If there’s anything I’ve learned over the past nine months of being pregnant, it’s that I never want my girls to feel the way I did about my body for so many years.”

Nelson went on to give a special message to new mothers, saying it was important to be gentle on themselves.

“So, to all the future mummies or the mummies that have just given birth, if you’re struggling with how you are feeling in yourself or are maybe even feeling the pressure to ‘snap back,’ just take a moment to remember what YOU did! Be kinder to yourself and remember you are INCREDIBLE!!!”

A number of the singer’s fans praised her for the post.

“This is beautiful energy for life,” one fan wrote.

“I wish you could have seen yourself through our eyes, you have always been so beautiful,” another added.

“Incredible woman, incredible mama,” yet another wrote.

Nelson and partner Zion welcomed twins at just 31 weeks after the pop singer was diagnosed with Twin To Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), a rare condition during pregnancy.

TTTS is when vessel connections within the placenta are not evenly dispensed and there is an imbalance in the blood exchange between the twins, which puts their health at risk.

Nelson was forced to have an extended stay in hospital.

After the ordeal, Nelson’s fiancé Zion said the couple’s bond only grew stronger.

“I think it’s at these times when you really, really know what love you have and what your relationship means,” he previously told OK! magazine.
