20 Times Amy Schumer Kept It Real When It Comes to Being Pregnant
We know that Instagram isn't real life, but sometimes, it helps to be reminded, OK? We enjoy seeing all of those outtakes that occur while attempting to get a family photo where every member is smiling. We welcome posts about tough days just as much as we do the good ones, simply because, hey, we've totally been there, too! And now, we know we don't have to feel alone. We also pretty much live for any time a celebrity decides to take us behind the scenes, or gets candid about their personal life. It isn't always red carpets and VIP treatment, people, and those moments help us realize that everyone's human -- even those who live their lives in the spotlight.
That's part of the reason why we really love Amy Schumer, who has been documenting every part of her pregnancy on social media -- the good, the bad, and the excessive puking included. She's opened up about having to take some time off, and how she's been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, which had her feeling ill since the beginning. While we definitely don't enjoy seeing or hearing about the rough time Amy's been having, we do want to applaud the star for honesty.
(Spoiler alert: Pregnancy isn't always a 100 percent joyful experience, and from the comments on Amy's posts alone, we know that other moms are most definitely relating.)
Since this funny lady has shared a whole lot over the past few months, and will be welcoming her bundle of joy sometime soon, we're applauding her for keeping it all the way real. Here are 20 times Amy's posts were so very, very real. We can only hope that more celebrities and influencers follow suit!
The Excitement of Seeing LO
It was such a sweet moment, and she joked that the baby's energy was the reason she was puking so much.
Comparing Her Pregnancy to a Famous Royal Who's Expecting
She's thrown some shade at the Duchess of Sussex a few times in her pregnancy, but we can't blame her: It's probably hard to see Meghan Markle, who's the same age as Amy, all dolled up, and looking perfect while the comedian is sitting by the toilet.
Videos of Herself Puking Without Shame
... on the way to a show, no less!
Amy definitely hasn't had it easy over the past few months.
... And in a Public Restroom 'Deep' in Her Second Trimester
We're sure many moms can relate to this!
We love that Amy chose to show the less-than-glamorous side of what women go through over those nine long months.
... And Also on Christmas
It's safe to say the holidays weren't exactly cheerful for this mom-to-be.
Opening Up About Hyperemesis Gravidarum
... aka the reason she continued to throw up throughout her pregnancy.
"Everyone who says the 2nd trimester is better is not telling the full story," she captioned her hospital photo. "I've been even more ill this trimester. I have hyperemesis and it blows. Very lucky to be pregnant but this is some bull---!"
BS, indeed!
Having to Rally and Go to Work Anyway
"I am still throwing up everyday and feeling real bad but I did every single show I could," Amy shared at the end of her tour, proving that she's a total bada** for still following through with her commitments.
Go ahead, mama!
Not Here for Lanugo
She posted this photo with one simple word: "No."
(LOL!)
It appears Amy is feeling some kind of way about lanugo, soft hair that can cover a newborn's body.
Being All About Her Maternity Clothes
She excitedly shared that her husband, Chris Fischer, had gifted her this "onesie." Maternity clothes can be so magical.
Loathing the Idea of Bed Rest, but Knowing When It's Necessary
After having to cancel a series of shows due to her health, Amy shared her remorse and frustration with fans -- but understood the need to take care of herself.
Not Taking Baby Bump Pics Seriously
We think her face says it all!
The Quintessential Reaction to People Touching Her Belly
She appropriately captioned this photo series "Ummmm."
Yes, Amy! It's definitely a little weird!
Being Sarcastic About the Changes That Can Happen During Pregnancy
"Does this baby make me look fat?" Amy wrote in this Instagram post, showing off her baby bump and how she seemingly acknowledges her changing body.
(TBH, it's annoying AF for expectant moms to hear comments about their appearance and body with a bun cooking in the oven all the time.)
When She Went Full TMI
When this selfie popped up on feed, the last thing we expected was for the caption to detail Amy's bathroom habits.
"I have felt like I have food poisoning for 5 months but yesterday my body gave me the gift of pooping," she wrote, sharing some personal information with the world. "The kind you want to take a picture of and send to your sister. So you do and she asks you to please not do that and for all that I am grateful. Happy Sunday guys. I hope you take a really good poop today!"
Oh, Amy...
When She Made This 'Baywatch' Video
It was a positive moment in what was likely a rough day, because Amy revealed that she tends to be sick until late in the afternoon.
"I puke anything I eat up until 4pm. But then I’m like..." she wrote.
But she seemed to soak in some sun in this awesome Baywatch-inspired video.
When She Had a Bit of a Babymoon
Amy and her husband Chris went to Canouan Island, and while she admitted she "vomited the whole way there and back," the two "had a really nice time."
This trip definitely gives us babymoon inspiration!
