Pregnancy. It’s a glamorized or exaggerated affair, where you either feel like you will have a rosy glow and have a flat stomach a week after birth, or be sick and on the toilet the whole nine months prior. But this woman shared her true self after her pregnancy, and it was beautiful.
“For Andrews, the postpartum experience is familiar; this was her fifth birth, and she is also a mother to a 15-, 11-, 5-, and 3-year-old. But this time, she said she was “called to share this image” with other mothers.

“This is my last baby, and I was feeling very emotional knowing that was the last time I would look and feel this way. So often the BIG feelings and changes we go through as new mothers are overlooked, brushed aside, or misunderstood completely. I shared the image to my Instagram feed to journal about my feelings (it’s how I navigate the world, with words.) It was only my intention to show the beauty I felt at that very moment,” Andrews told TODAY Parents.”
