Reality star Lexi Van still can’t believe that she’s a mother.

After giving birth just last month ago, the reality star has some words of encouragement for new moms, who are still finding their feet just like her.

“New moms, trust me you'll mess up most days and feel like you aren't getting it right, but it gets better. Don’t beat yourself up, take your time, cry and then get going again. Trust me,” she posted.

Lexi posted a before and after picture of herself before she had her baby and now on her Instagram page.

The first picture of a lean and care-free Lexi juxtaposition with a picture of Lexi as a mom with a blanket, pushing a pram.

How life has changed.  I used just grab my cellphone and car keys and out I go. Now, Babe, do you have his bag? Are there enough diapers, wipes and extra clothes, sanitizers, extra blankets.

“I still can't believe I get to call myself a mom. I'm in the early stages and to be honest, I couldn't be bothered about my looks right now. I'm a mess, I smell like a diary room, my hair's crazy, my skin is horrible, I can't lotion my legs, some days I forget to apply deodorant, I eat whilst breastfeeding, I dream about having that first cocktail again, I miss cuddling with my love, the list is endless... BUT now, my days are for the little man. I'm super good at multitasking, but now I forget to do most things too,” she shared.

Lexi admires those who make motherhood look glamorous. However, she adores those who keep it real. “Shout out to all the moms who makes motherhood look glamorous but a bigger shout out to all the moms who are just keeping it real and messy.”
