Jade Roper Tolbert shows off postpartum body in underwear selfie days after giving birth

Jade Roper Tolbert is showing appreciation for her "phenomenal" postpartum body just nine days after unexpectedly giving birth to son Brooks Easton in her bedroom closet.

The "Bachelor in Paradise" alum, 32, opened up about her body's healing process in a candid Instagram post Wednesday, posting a photo of herself wearing black underwear and holding her son.

"Women’s bodies are seriously phenomenal!" she began. "It’s taking my uterus more time to return to its normal state this time around, but honestly I have never loved my body more than I have this postpartum."

Tolbert – who welcomed Brooks on July 29 with husband and fellow "Bachelor in Paradise" alum Tanner Tolbert – said she's recovering slowly after receiving several stitches, adding, the "mental and emotional healing is hard to put a finger on."

The mother of two "accidentally gave birth at home… in our master closet" after her water broke two weeks early while they were watching "The Bachelorette" finale. Go figure.

"Long story short, my waters broke and 75 minutes later I gave birth to our healthy baby boy while clutching a bench in our closet," she wrote on Instagram last week. "It was one of the scariest moments of my life because I felt so out of control."

Tolbert said she has developed a new level of gratitude for her body after giving birth under those "shocking" circumstances, adding that she's "giving myself grace to process everything."

"After such an overwhelming labor and delivery, I have so much respect for my body and the journey it’s been on this year to grow and bring this perfect little joy into my life," she wrote Wednesday. "So in love, so thankful."

The couple – who tied the knot in 2016 after meeting on the second season of "Bachelor in Paradise" – also share daughter Emerson, who turns two this month.

As for how Emerson is getting along with her new baby brother? "She was such a nurturing big sister, already," Tolbert revealed on Instagram.
