A new mum has shared an uncensored glimpse into motherhood.
Amanda Bacon, who lives in North Carolina, posted a photo of her husband and baby on Facebook, however, in the background, she’s pictured wearing an adult nappy – and it’s is going viral.
‘Motherhood uncensored,’ Bacon wrote. ‘I’m sharing this picture because it’s real.’
‘This is motherhood; it’s raw, stunning, messy, and freaking hilarious all rolled into one.
‘Having a baby is a beautiful experience, and the realities of postpartum life aren’t spoken enough about. And definitely not photographed enough.
‘Some people probably find this uncomfortable, but why? I seriously don’t get it! It’s probably because this part isn’t talked about.
‘We all should try and educate, empower and embrace every aspect of childbirth, including moments like this. And do it while having a sense of humor.
‘Nothing says welcome to motherhood like an adorable squishy baby, and a giant mom diaper.”
‘Glad y’all can share in Ken (the hubs) and I’s humorous moment, and you can appreciate the hilariously raw beauty that is postpartum life.
‘It really means a lot to us. I never expected such a warm and well-received response. Thank you.’
The post has since been shared over 100,00 times, with many praising the mum for her honesty.
‘Haha loved the mommy diapers!’ wrote one Facebook commenter.
Another said: ‘This is so true! I love this.’
