The candid image captures the reality of childbirth - in all its glory. Bacon titled it: "Motherhood Uncensored".
"I'm sharing this picture because it's real," she wrote alongside the image. "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." The mum-of-two added that she knew when sharing the post that some people would probably find the photo 'uncomfortable', and she questioned why this might be.'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."
And mums around the world are relating."This is so true," one mother commented on the photo. "After all the prenatal classes I went to and books I read not once did it mention what happens in the days right after giving birth."
Another one stated: "Seriously awesome. So amazing and yes so funny and a moment to remember for absolute sure."Explore more on these topics:
