“I’m not going to lie, without my family I don’t know what my life would be like,” Baldwin captioned the post, populating the comment thread with users who noticed his numbers were short.

In the post Monday, Ireland said she “just wanted to write a message here for moms-to-be” because “getting these words across” was “super important” to her and she hoped “it helps someone even a little.” ‘

“I read countless pregnancy horror stories and watched video after video of negative births until it left me numb,” she said.
She said that once she gave birth, “it all happened so fast,” as if “when she was born, this all vanished into thin air.”
“Until then, nothing ever mattered,” she said. I know we are all different and our birth stories are different, but here’s what I want to share from mine. I thought it was pretty sad.’
She said that “women would go out of their way” to tell her about all the possible negative side effects pregnancy brings, from physical changes to sleep deprivation to the need for nannies and night nurses.
“But this is what happened to me,” said Ireland. “Almost everything everyone said would happen didn’t happen.
‘The delivery was intense, but I’ve had worse pain. She is born. My fears fled. My heart was full. I fell in love again for the second time.’

Ireland said: ‘Since her arrival a sense of calm has finally come over me and that in turn has left me feeling rested… I’d give birth to her a hundred more times if I had to. My recovery has been going well. I’m back on my feet and enjoying this weather and my time with my family at home.”
Ireland concluded the lengthy post by saying, ‘Don’t let people tell you what it’s going to be like. Life is scary and unpredictable and this process was terrifying, but it’s the best thing I’ve ever done and will ever do.
‘Don’t let people scare you. Just take a deep breath and enjoy being pregnant. Even if you’re a waddling, congested solar system like me. Because now that she’s gone, I stare at her little feet kicking the air and remember what it was like to feel her grab me.’
Ireland said that “knowing she was protected by my body and now she’s a little person in the world,” adding, “It wasn’t long at all and I already wish I could stop time.”
