to the neat scar, she joked: 'Because I wish somebody had shown me a pic like this 9months ago, I'd like to insist this be your new business card. 💥💥💥💥'
The mum-of-two proudly showed off her stomach just two weeks after giving birth to son Lazlo Biggs on October 5, with husband Jason Biggs - and fans were quick to praise the new mum's candid approach.
'Loving your honesty just home through an emergency c section and I need therapy... Thanks for keeping it real x' one wrote, followed by another who added: 'Love you are keepin it real. After four kids who are almost all grown -albeit no c section- sagging parts, some wrinkles and lines I am proud of my awesome body for taking care of me so well...'
Many others were amazed at how neat the scar itself was:'Wow. Is this what it's supposed to look like? 😭' one asked.

It's not the first time that Jenny, who is also mum to son Sid, aged three, has used her Instagram account to break the silence around pregnancy topics that are not often publicly discussed.
One week post C-section, Jenny took to Instagram to show the after-effects of having a child through the procedure.
'One week post op. Staples out. Steri strips on. #babybiggs,' she wrote.
US Weekly reported at the time of baby Lazlo's birth that he weighed in at a healthy 7 pounds, one ounce and measured 20 inches long.
Talking to the mag, a rep for Jenny revealed: 'Mom, dad and big brother Sid are doing great!'
