Australian fitness influencer Emily Skye has revealed she cried tears of happiness after snapping the first picture of her post-baby body.

The personal trainer was forced to go into labour on her living room floor with the assistance of paramedics and her husband, Declan Redmond, after her second child, a son named Izaac, arrived three weeks early in January.

And on Thursday, the 32-year-old expressed her gratitude for her body on Instagram, admitting it was 'blessed to grow, birth and breastfeed her two precious babies.'

Covering her modesty with her hands, Emily shared an image of herself topless as she posed for the snap in the mirror.

The fitness guru added an empowering statement, confessing: 'I cried when I first saw my body in the mirror after I gave birth to Izaac (6 hours before I took this pic).

'It wasn't because I didn't like what I saw, it was because I was IN LOVE with my body & was in complete AWE of what it had just done.

'It had literally birthed my son on its own at home - I didn't even have to push - it did it itself! HOW FREAKIN AMAZING ARE OUR BODIES?!!!'

Emily continued to heap praise upon her body, admitting: '⁣⁣⁣I’ve never in my life loved my body more & instead of criticising it & picking out our every little so called “flaw” (which I’d done for many of my younger years) I cried with joy & gratitude & thanked it. ⁣⁣⁣

'It makes me sad that so many women including my old self dislike their bodies. I am so blessed to grow, birth & breastfeed my 2 precious babies. I honestly couldn’t care less about having extra fat, cellulite, saggy skin or stretch marks.'

The mother-of-two concluded that she was 'so grateful.'

⁣⁣⁣Meanwhile, Emily and her husband appeared on Sunrise last month to reveal that their son is 'doing great' as they opened up about his dramatic birth.

'They say don't plan your births because it never goes to plan,' Emily laughed.

The couple reminisced about the very sudden arrival of their baby at home, with Declan admitting he was 'wildly underprepared' for it.

'I have never been so wildly underprepared for anything in my life. To say I was shocked is an understatement. I was having a nervous breakdown,' he said.

The couple are also doting parents to two-year-old daughter, Mia.
