Lydia posted a photo of herself posing on a bed in her pyjamas with her foot waving wildly in the air and a crate of children’s toys in front of her.
She uploaded the picture alongside a caption that read: ‘Everyone including myself thought I was going over my due date.
‘So when I went into labour early I freaked out as I hadn’t completed the long list of ‘things to do’ on my phone.
Newborn: Lydia admitted that ‘since Loretta has arrived life has been pretty crazy trying to juggle the list, as well as all the guests and trying to be the best mum I can be’
‘Contractual work still outstanding, my home renovation still not finished, shoot days in the diary.
‘Since Loretta has arrived life has been pretty crazy trying to juggle the list, as well as all the guests and trying to be the best mum I can be.
‘But today I have switched off, shut the door and it’s been just me and my baby in our brand new bed.’
Back to work she goes: Lydia Bright took to Instagram to reveal that she’s returned to work on Saturday – just two weeks after welcoming her daughter Loretta Rose into the world
It comes after the reality TV star uploaded a separate post on Instagram which revealed she had gone back to work just two weeks after giving birth.
Loretta Rose was left to relax behind the scenes with Lydia’s 55-year-old mother Debbie as the reality TV star posed in front of a wall of flowers.
She wrote: ‘You’re the sweetest… Back filming on the small screen… Little Loretta came to work with mummy and watched on behind the cameras with nanny.
‘I am back working a few days a week, which some may feel is to soon. However I feel very fortunate that my daughter can come along with me and @xdebbietowiex is always close by.
‘We had a few stop starts so I could breast feed and shower her with kisses. But my mum always says a baby should slot into your life not you slot into theirs and Loretta has been the dream since she has been born and has slotted in perfectly.’
Best friend: Lydia has always classed her mother Debbie, who has fostered several children and babies, as her best friend (pictured together in 2018)
Lydia, who is back in a relationship with ex Lee Cronin, has always classed her mother Debbie, who has fostered several children and babies, as her best friend.
She recently told HELLO! magazine that Loretta is a ‘dream child’ and that she is ‘still on a massive high’ after giving birth.
‘I’m not even struggling with the sleep!’ she said. ‘I’m loving the night feeds.
‘That’s my favourite time. I sit there breastfeeding and I just stare at her. I definitely feel like I’ve been blessed with a dream child.’
Relationship: Lydia said she is working on rekindling her relationship with car garage owner Lee Cronin, whom she had dated for two years before splitting shortly after she fell pregnant
