BRIT drug mule Bella Culley posted emotional pictures on TikTok.
The 19-year-old gave birth just weeks after she was freed from prison in Georgia.
Posting a selfie and a picture of her with baby boy, she wrote: “I may have my hands full for a 19 year old girl.”
“But I’m so thankful everyday that they’re not empty.”
Culley replied to comments, saying she “can’t imagine life without” her “little baba”.
She wrote: “It’s been a journey and I’m so grateful to still be here to be able to love my little boy.
“I don’t know where I’d be without him.”
Culley was charged with drug smuggling in May, after a backpacking trip to the Philippines and Thailand went disastrously wrong.
She pleaded guilty to importing a huge stash of cannabis from Thailand to Georgia, and looked set to face 20 years in a Tbilisi prison.
Police had caught the 19-year-old at the airport with £200,000 worth of drugs in her suitcase.
She claimed she had been burned with a hot iron and shown a beheading video by a Thai gang who forced her to smuggle the cannabis.
Culley’s lawyer said the gang had terrorised the teen into becoming a mule in Bangkok, claiming that they would kill her and her family if she did not follow their instructions.
It later emerged that the teen had fallen pregnant on her ill-fated backpacking trip, and was facing the prospect of raising her baby behind bars in a grim ex-Soviet jail.
The 19-year-old was heavily pregnant when she was finally freed at the start of November.
After a plea deal was struck, the teenager expected to be sentenced to serve another 18 months in grim No 5 Women’s Penitentiary.
But in November’s shock U-turn, the court allowed to her to walk free immediately on compassionate grounds.
Culley, from Billingham, Teesside was seen on video smiling as she walked free and called her oil rig technician dad Niel, 49, to break the good news.
Holding a mobile phone to her ear on a speaker call, she laughed: “I’m not in jail any more!”
Niel replied: “That’s brilliant!”
She flew home soon after, and was spotted at the airport with what seemed to be the very same suitcase that had been stuffed full of drugs just months before.
In December, Culley revealed she had given birth to a baby boy, posting pictures on TikTok.
She captioned the pictures of her cradling a tiny tot: “My little 5lbs baba.”
