Christina Anstead urges her followers to be careful not to overdo it after giving birth.

In her Instagram post from two days ago, Christina is resting in a bed sans make-up with her little one resting on her chest. Anstead admits in the caption of the snap that she felt fine from week one of postpartum. She felt no pain and thought she was taking things easy.

“So please anyone who just had a baby- don’t overdue it,” she begged her followers.
