We love Chrissy Tiegen for her no-filter, candid views on social media, and although she and her talented hubby, John Legend just welcomed a baby girl into the world, this much has not changed!

Giving her 1.4 million followers a very candid insight into her new life as a model mama, the Cravings cookbook author treated her fans to an honest series of tweets that perfectly depicted the aspects of childbirth that a lot of celebs never talk about.

“Buying myself a push present,” the 30-year-old tweeted along with a picture of a ‘perineal irrigation bottle’ worth $2.84.

The apparatus, also known as a peri-bottle, is used by new mums as a hand-held bottle with a squirt function, intended for rinsing an area that has been stretched during childbirth.

But according to Chrissy, the product that aims to ‘heal and reduce the chance of irritation or infection of the sutured perineal area’, although helpful, has a less-than-glamorous name.

“Have you EVER heard of a grosser name for a product, EVER?” she joked shortly after sending out her first tweet.

Chrissy has never been one to withhold the candid details!

The mum-of-one also made another hilarious musing about motherhood, joking that she never would have guessed that her and her adorable baby Luna, would be leaving the hospital in matching outfits.

“No one told me I would be coming home in diapers too,” the brunette beauty tweeted.

But despite the nappies and push presents, Chrissy is absolutely besotted with her new life as a mother to her darling girl.

On Tuesday, the Sports Illustrated model took to Instagram to share the first look at little Luna Simone Stephens with the world.

“Hi my Lulu!” the proud mum captioned a pic of her cradling her bundle of joy.

And clearly motherhood suits the cookbook author, who beamed down at the bub with a smile of content as she sat on her deck looking fresh faced and relaxed.

We are melting!

The parents, who announced they had welcomed their daughter earlier this week, decided to reveal her arrival a few days after her actual birthday on April 14th.

“She’s here! Luna Simone Stephens, we are so in love with you! And sleepy. Very sleepy,” Chrissy penned in her trademark hilarious style to her Instagram followers.

The adorable pic was quickly followed up with another from the model’s husband, John Legend.
