If you thought Pregnant Amy Green was entertaining, you’re in for a treat with New Mom Amy Green! This new mother is head over heels for her precious little one and we can’t help but adore her infectious enthusiasm combined with her signature humor. In her latest Instagram post, she shares an adorable moment with her son, Max, while expressing her gratitude towards her doula and birthing team.
Describing her photo as a “post-baby update,” Amy insists it’s not annoying at all. Rather, it’s heartfelt, humorous, and undeniably empowering. “Okay, here’s my post-baby update and one big takeaway from pregnancy,” she writes. “Women are incredible. Men are cool and all, but women are true warriors and can handle anything.”
She places special emphasis on her doula, Tara Miller, who provided unwavering support to Amy and her partner, Jake Thompson, throughout the birthing experience. “What do doulas even do? Honestly, I’m not entirely sure. But what I do know is that Tara made both Jake and I feel completely at ease and supported during my pregnancy and the delivery,” she shares. This perfectly encapsulates the essence of a doula—support, guidance, and reassurance. Clearly, Amy’s doula hit the mark on all fronts. She also expresses her gratitude to her doctor and the nursing staff at Ridgewood Hospital for their care.
After making a quick appearance at a local gala, naturally, she continues her thanks. “And to all the other hospitals I visited this year, thank you for everything,” Amy adds. Throughout her pregnancy, she battled severe morning sickness, a condition known as hyperemesis gravidarum. “I was sick almost every day—throwing up violently. Hyperemesis is no joke. But let me tell you, as soon as I gave birth, it was all gone,” she reflects.
Amy also tags a support group for mothers experiencing hyperemesis, highlighting the importance of community during such challenging times. She encourages donations to Every Mother Counts, a nonprofit focused on ensuring safe pregnancies and childbirth for every mother, everywhere. Additionally, she extends her gratitude to her friends for their constant encouragement throughout her difficult pregnancy journey. “To all my friends—those I’ve known for decades and those who kept saying, ‘you can do this’—thank you. Every woman I met was so willing to help and share their strength. And they were right,” she concludes.
And because she’s Amy Green, known for her relatable humor, she signs off with “#naptime #stillwearingadiaper.” Motherhood may transform you, but it doesn’t change your sense of humor!
In summary, Amy Green’s recent post is a heartwarming and humorous take on the trials and triumphs of new motherhood. She highlights the importance of support during pregnancy and encourages community for those facing challenges like hyperemesis gravidarum.
