Elizabeth Sobinoff has posted a frank health update after welcoming her second child with husband Alex Vega.
The 34-year-old former Married at First Sight bride shared a video on Saturday in which she revealed that she felt as if 'her body was coming apart 'after having two children 'back-to-back'.
Lizzie, who has a 18-month-old daughter, welcomed her second child, a baby boy, in April.
Her postnatal health issues include a 'bad back, bad neck', anal fissures and haemorrhoids.
She appeared in the Instagram video wearing a bathrobe and began the lengthy clip by telling her followers that she believed in 'loving yourself'.
'But I am feeling as if I'm falling apart physically I tell you,' she explained and added that he neck and back were 'a mess'.
She continued: 'After carrying two big babies back to back I feel as if my arse is a mess. I'm talking fissures and haemorrhoids.'
Lizzie added she had a message for women who endured similar health issues after giving birth.
'Don't act like you don't know if you've carried big babies before,' she said. 'Don't act like you don't know. Or if its not like a thing. Um yeah.'
According to the Babycenter site, anal fissures - small tears in the anal passage - in postpartum women are common.
Still, Lizzie appeared to have a sense of humour about her condition. She joked on her post that the auto captions on her video had translated 'fissure' into 'fishes'.
'Loving the time with my babies but I could do without the feeling as if my body is going to fall apart,' she added.
'And yes I eat enough fibre thank you very much.'

Followers messaged Lizzie with words of support.
'Oh my gosh love this honesty, love how real u are!!' gushed one fan.
'Yup our bodies take a beating,' agreed another follower.
'Welcome to the haemorrhoid club! My last baby was 6 yrs ago and I've still got them!!!!!,' messaged a third user.
Elsewhere in Lizzie's post she referred to another health issue she experienced later her pregnancy.
In February Lizzie shared gruesome photos that showed that her right eye was swollen shut.
After first believing the problem was conjunctivitis, Lizzie said she was alarmed to learn from doctors her eyelid was infected by cold sores.
On Saturday, she said that was not sure that her eyelid had healed properly.
'It probably did but I feel as if there's something in there. Something grainy. I just want to rip it out,' she said in her update.
Lizzie was famously fat-shamed by her first Married At First Sight groom Sam Ball on season 2019 of the show.
She and Seb Guilhaus hit it off immediately during her second showing on MAFS in 2020, and stayed together after the show, before parting ways in 2021.
