TEEN Mom Nikkole Paulun posed NAKED in a “diaper” just one week after giving birth to her son Bodhi.
The 27-year-old said her “boobs are exploding” as she updated fans on how she’s holding up after giving birth.
Nikkole took to Instagram on Thursday to share a photo of herself posing topless while wearing high-waisted white underwear.
She cradled her newborn son Bodhi, while her bare breasts were blocked by her arm.
Alongside the snap, the MTV alum wrote: “Welcome to the 4th trimester.
“Where time is measured in feedings & diaper changes.
“Where nights turn into days & days turn into nights and before you know it you’ve lost all track of time.
“Where you’re so, so freakin tired, but you never stop going and giving your baby everything they need.
“Where the outfit of the day includes a diaper for both you AND baby, milk stained shirts, and pants that don’t fit right.”
She continued: “Where your heart is exploding with love while your breasts are exploding with milk.
“Where you look in the mirror and realize you don’t look pregnant anymore but don’t quite look like your old self either.
“Where you feel so incredibly proud of your body but wonder where the old you went and if you’ll ever get her back.
“Where your tired eyes & sore breasts have nothing on the overwhelming awe of this little human that just came out of you.”
Nikkole noted that “it can be really hard some days but when they’re finally snuggled up in your arms fast asleep, it feels so worth it” and “you’re not going to love every moment and that’s okay.”
She concluded: “Where it goes by so fast so you try to soak it all in, cherish the good moments, and remember the bad ones won’t last forever.”
Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry took to the comments section to say she relates to the “diaper” comment, writing: “The diaper underwear was honestly everything. My midwife also taught me about putting honey in them for healing.”
The former MTV star appeared in the second season of 16 & Pregnant, which aired in 2010.
‘BABY BOY IS HERE’
Nikkole announced the birth of her son in a sweet Instagram post last Friday.
She shared a snap of herself and husband Kyle Ledda admiring Bodhi in the hospital, writing: “Baby boy is here! After 14 hours of labor we welcomed our sweet rainbow babe last night!
“We’ve been just resting & soaking him all in. Thank you all so much for the prayers & congratulations. He’s perfect!”
Bodhi is the first son for the couple, while Nikkole is also the mother to son Lyle, 11, and daughter Ellie Jade, six.
LOVE AFTER LOSS
Last summer, Nikkole revealed she suffered a miscarriage and asked fans to “keep us in your prayers.”
Nikkole posted a photo of herself holding up a sonogram while being held by Kyle, who she was engaged to at the time.
She wrote: “We were so excited to announce that we were having a baby but unfortunately we found out it no longer has a heartbeat. Please keep us in your prayers. If you’ve had a missed miscarriage + a D&C I’d love to talk to some people who’ve gone on to have a successful pregnancy. I’m so heartbroken and so scared for the future.”
