The Good Bones star shared a very candid snap of her post-C-section situation five days after welcoming Charlie Drew, as a way of encouraging all new moms to take it easy on themselves and not rush to look a certain way after welcoming a baby. 

"Next time you wish you looked like this or dressed like that, or had it ALL together like so many of the influencers we follow, just remember ... you're only being shown what they want you to see; part of them for sure, but usually not the whole story," she wrote on an Instagram post comparing her "sucked in" stomach to one in the hospital-issued undies. "So be kind to yourselves and to those you might be quick to judge based solely on social media. My Monday soap box moment 😂 Hope it helps at least a couple of you feel good this Monday!!!"

When your baby's gotta go, there's no stopping them! Ashley Graham had to improvise when her newborn son, Isaac Menelik Giovanni, had a "diaper blow up" while she was shopping at Staples. 

In the candid photo, the model is crouching on the ground, changing her son's diaper in the middle of the store's stationery aisle. 

"Sh💩t just got real!" she captioned the picture. "First diaper blow up while running errands with no restroom in sight! Thank God I remembered to put the changing mat in the diaper bag!!!"

Hey, a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do!

Ali Fedotowsky-Manno Shares Her 'Riley Pooped In the Pool' Story

Ali Fedotowsky-Manno

When your kid is constipated, you celebrate when he finally poops - unless he does it in the hotel pool during your family vacation. That's what happened to the Bachelorette alum, who shared details on her Instagram Story in Feb. 2020.

"So, Riley pooped and I'm so mortified at what went down when he finally pooped that I don't think I'm ready to share - or will ever be able to share - but I'm just letting you guys all know it happened," she said in a video, after sharing hours before that her one-year-old hadn't pooped in three days.

"You all guessed that Riley pooped in the pool. That's the truth," she confirmed in another clip. "He pooped in the pool. They had to shut the pool down for like an hour-and-a-half."

She continued, "It was super embarrassing, so that's Riley's poop story."

Fedotowsky-Manno went on to explain to followers that she had tried to prevent the accident by having Riley wear a water-resistant nappy in the pool. Unfortunately, she said, he had "runny as F poops and it all leaked out of his swim diaper."

However, the incident didn't put a damper on her day.

"Anyway, today was awesome. We had the best day," she told fans in another video. "The kids had so much fun. I still don't have a voice, but I don't care. I had the best time and we're really happy."

Parenthood has a way of making you ask yourself the questions you always thought you knew the answer to, as Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis have discovered recently.

"When your 3 yr old becomes an (early morning) photographer and you wonder if it's "bad" to put a industrial level padlock on your bedroom door," she captioned this sleepy (and somewhat annoyed) snapshot taken by daughter Daisy.

When you gotta go, you gotta go! The Rock learned that the hard way when daughter Tiana needed to pee - and there wasn't a toilet in sight.

"She decides to renegotiate ... and demands daddy pick her up because doesn't want to 'stand on the Lava Monster' so I have to hold her while she pees..... all over my new white sneakers," he said. Still, he'd "take this precious memory over my sneakers any day."

Meghan King Compares Instagram vs Reality

Meghan King Edmonds Instagram

The beauty of social media is that you can perfectly curate photos of a seemingly fabulous life - except, most of what you see is not at all close to what it's really like. That's what the reality star tried to explain in her latest Instagram post.

"Instagram ➡️ Reality (swipe left)," she began her note, directing her followers to look at her "Instagram" version of motherhood, a beautiful shot of her and her twin boys Hart and Hayes, and then her "Reality" version, the same shot, except her facial expression shows shock and horror.

"The reality is that I wish my life was closer to the feeling I get when I see this beautiful photo with my twins... but it's not: my life is summed up by the look of fright in the next photo 😂," she added.

Talk about being on mom duty (no pun intended)! The Little People, Big World star shared this snap of son Jackson for "all those mamas out there that sometime[s] feel like they are sinking." She captioned the shot with a detailed recount of her day - which started with hosing husband Zach Roloff's vomit off the porch after he woke up sick, and ended with finding their son (and his crib) covered in poop. And it didn't stop there - since they had no hot water in their house that day, Tori had to drive him to another house to get him cleaned up. "If you were having a rough day I hope this helps. I can laugh now that Jackson is asleep in a throughly scrubbed crib," she wrote.

Dressed up and ready to take on the day, the model-actress headed to a private room to pump (and snap a selfie!) before returning to a press event for her company, Finery. "Yes I am in a back room pumping as they talk outside," wrote Decker. "Yes this sucks. But YES this is why it's awesome to be a part of a female founded, female-run startup."

Getting the perfect Santa photo is often a Christmas miracle and something parents everywhere struggle to achieve - the fitness guru (and mom-of-four!) included. "This is us… Rafa: hates Santa," Hilaria, who's married to actor Alec Baldwin, wrote in the caption. "Carmen: asked for a magic carpet. Leo is like: whatever…as long as food is involved in this experience. Alec: the forever photogenic celebrity, And me: trying to avoid traumatizing my 2 year old and GETTING MY OBLIGATORY SANTA PHOTO…while sacrificing any attempt at a decent pose."

"… I love every bit of my postpartum bod," wrote Otis with this Instagram pic of herself posing in a white tank top and matching "hospital undies" three days after the birth of daughter Henley Grace, whom she shares with husband Doug Hehner.
