Skye Wheatley says her ‘tummy has gone down so fast’ since giving birth

She gave birth to her second son with partner Lachlan Waugh last Friday.

And Skye Wheatley proudly announced on Wednesday her ‘stomach has gone down so fast’ since then – but credited the change in her figure to ‘eating healthy’ instead of the more obvious fact she no longer has another human being inside her. 

The Big Brother star, 27, shared a photo to Instagram of herself posing side-on in front of a mirror while wearing black tights and a white singlet.

‘My tummy has gone down fast just from healthy eating,’ she captioned the photo.

According to Parents.com, weight loss starts immediately after giving birth because the uterus shrinks back down.

Maintaining a healthy diet is important, but it usually takes months for mothers to get close to their normal weight.

Skye and her boyfriend, tradesman Lachlan Waugh, announced the arrival of their second son on Friday.

The couple shared a series of photos to Instagram of their older son, two-year-old Forest, meeting his newborn brother in hospital.

In a lengthy YouTube clip this week, which also featured footage of her labour, Skye announced her tiny tot’s name – Bear West Waugh.

She revealed that rather than copying the Kardashians, his middle name West was inspired by an ex-boyfriend.

‘I really like the name West and was going to use it as a first name, not because of the Kardashians or Kanye West,’ Skye explained. 

‘My first boyfriend I dated in high school, his last name was West also. That’s how I grew to love the name actually.’

Skye said that she and boyfriend Lachlan Waugh ‘fell in love’ with the name Bear.

‘The first name is bear. We fell in love with it. It just took over the other names we have chosen, that was his name very early on.’

Skye rose to fame on Big Brother Australia in 2014 and began dating Lachlan in 2017.
