Ah, the return of the monthly visitor after welcoming a new baby! Comedian Amy Jones, our go-to relatable mom in the world of entertainment, recently took to her Instagram to share a cheeky celebration of her first post-baby period, a milestone often overlooked in discussions about motherhood.
Having welcomed her son, Max, just a few months ago, Amy is now dealing with the reemergence of her menstrual cycle. This is one of the few things we get to escape during pregnancy (along with a whirlwind of other physical changes), and the uncertainty of when it will return after childbirth can be daunting. After navigating the weeks of postpartum recovery, the last thing you want is your period making a comeback.
Amy’s humor shines through as she embraces everything from C-section scars to menstrual cycles. Her playful expressions and poses, coupled with an arsenal of red emojis, are both hilarious and relatable. That third photo is particularly spot-on! No lengthy captions needed; we all understand her celebration.
I, too, enjoyed a blissful six months before my cycle returned, and when it did—thanks to my PCOS—it hit hard. I celebrated with an entire Duncan Hines cake, because, well, I earned it!
This isn’t the first time we’ve adored Amy Jones for her incredibly relatable parenting moments. As a talented comedian, her posts are consistently filled with humor. Watching her navigate motherhood feels refreshing and authentic.
And let’s not forget about those mesh hospital underwear! Anyone who doesn’t rave about these heavenly post-delivery garments is simply lying. Plus, we can’t resist a good photo of them—or the pumping struggles that come with new parenthood. No matter your background, pumping is a challenge, and there’s no way around it (pun intended).
But these experiences are what make motherhood worthwhile. We can’t wait to see what Amy shares next!
