As countless perfectly-angled photos on Instagram would have us believe, pregnant bellies simply…evaporateonce a baby is born.

And days spent with newborns are all naps in sun rays and cheery morning walks in the park, because what stitches, right?

Amy Schumer is here to call bullsh*t.

And we consider it a public service for all new mums out there.

Watch the official trailer for her recent Netflix comedy special, Growing.

The comedian and mum to baby Gene Attell Fischer has shared a series of photos on Instagram that give a real, bonafide glimpse into life as a new mum, where comfort is obviously key after just, you know,squeezing an entire human baby out of your vagina.

Comfort in the form of a pair of high-waisted hospital knickers that she vows to rock for life.

The 38-year-old has shared how she is still living in her pair of very glamorous hospital lingerie — even while out strolling with her 6-week old son (complemented by a pair of running shoes and black bra, of course).

And in a second post this week, she wants you to know she frankly doesn’t give a damn if you don’t like it.

Not only are her posts hilarious and bold and undeniably Amy, it’s a side of motherhood often missing from our feeds.

With Instagram so often plagued with #blessed images of smiling new mums out wheeling strollers in expensive active wear, or worse yet…white, Amy’s feed is a refreshing addition to the social media sphere that new mums should get their eyeballs on stat.

Judging by the flood of comments on her posts, we’re not the only ones loving it sick.

Her followers were full of praise for her realistic approach to documenting life as a new mum, with many thanking her for her candour.

“Thanks for being so raw and vulnerable about the realities of post partum life,” model Tess Holliday said.

“There is so much pressure placed on new moms to “bounce back” & it’s not real life. You’re doing amazing & you’re amazing & those hospital undies are COMFYYYYY,” she added.

Others simply chimed in to express their own ode to hospital undies.

“Long live the mesh,” one said.

YouTube star Colleen Ballinger said she was “more of a diaper gal [herself], but the hospital underwear was glorious too.”

Duly noted.

We now have something to look forward to after we give birth (as well as the actual baby of course).

It certainly isn’t the first time Amy has kept it real on her feed.

Last month, the comedian was brutally honest about her pregnancy, telling her 8.7 million followers on Instagram that her “takeaway” from the nine month experience is that “women are the sh*t”.
