Scarlett Moffatt has declared she is "embracing the chaos" as a new mother after giving birth to her second child earlier this month.
Scarlett Moffatt is "embracing the chaos" after giving birth to her second child earlier this month.
The former Gogglebox star, 36, became a mother for a second time when she welcomed Clark - her second son with fiance Scott Dobinson - in early October and she's revealed she's loving her new family of four but it's a very busy time for her.
She told the Daily Mail: "Having a baby is amazing, but it's also a huge change, and I think it's important to remember to make a little time for yourself too ...
"I love the idea of 'getting your pink back' after having a baby. There's a theory that flamingos lose their pink colour while caring for their chicks, before getting it back as they get older.
"I think it's such a lovely reminder that, when you're busy looking after everyone else including a newborn, it's easy to put yourself at the bottom of the list but I want to help women avoid that."
She added: "Being a mam again has been so special, and having Clark has brought a whole new kind of joy to our family.
"Every stage feels a little different this time around, and I'm trying to soak up all those little moments while finding our feet as a family of four.
"It's definitely busy, but there's nothing better than having everyone together, especially as we head into our first Christmas with Clark.
"For me, it's all about embracing the chaos, making memories and finding those little moments for myself along the way, too."
Scarlett announced the birth of her little boy, who is a younger brother to her three-year-old son Jude, on October 9 by sharing a picture of the new parents cuddling their newborn baby.
In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "Our beautiful boy is here! Clark Xander Dobinson. Arriving a little earlier than expected and not quite as straightforward as planned, our little family of four was made complete on Monday.
"Our hearts have never been so full, and I’d do it all again for you, Clark."
Scarlett announced her pregnancy back in April by admitting she felt "unbelievably lucky" to be expecting another baby. She wrote: "We honestly can’t believe we’re writing this ...
"After everything, we feel unbelievably lucky to be able to say … our family is growing. One little miracle gave us Jude, and now he’s going to be a big brother.
"And if there’s one thing we know for certain, it’s that he is going to be the most amazing big brother. We are so grateful, so excited, and still a little bit in shock … Our hearts are fuller than we ever thought possible."
