Lovely Abella just shared a powerful message on the realities of being a mother.
In an IG post on September 17, the former actress turned live seller shared a candid photo of herself breastfeeding her newborn, Liam Emmanuel. In the pic, she had no makeup on and was half-wearing a hospital gown, partially exposing her postpartum body.
"'Di man lang nagpaganda!" Lovely wrote in the caption.
"Sa lahat po ng hirap na pinagdaanan ko, hindi ko na po kayang magpaganda," she continued. "Ang gusto ko lang ay mairaos ng healthy ang anak ko."
"'Di ko alam na mararanasan ko lahat ng hindi ko naranasan sa unang anak ko, kaya ang larawan na 'to ay nagsisimbulo na mahalin natin ang mga nanay at mga magulang natin."
