Actress and comedian Amy Schumer recently gave birth to her first child, a son named Gene Attell. And, ever one to keep it real, she shared a picture of herself five weeks later still wearing hospital underwear. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BydW9_UJNb3/]] As you can tell, they look comfortable - and comfort is of the utmost importance when you've just birthed a human. <img class="wp-image-12526273 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2019/06/7862935a-underwear-1.jpg" alt="Amy Schumer and her baby." width="600" height="711" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram / Amy Schumer]] The 38-year-old captioned the pictures above: "5 weeks. Hospital underwear for life!" <img class="wp-image-12526274 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2019/06/c1639ded-underwear-2.jpg" alt="Amy Schumer writing about hospital underwear." width="760" height="157" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram / Amy Schumer]] She was then praised by other moms for her laid back approach to parenting and not trying to act like postpartum life is a walk in the park (if Kylie Jenner's Instagram feed was anything to go by, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was!). <img class="wp-image-12526275 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2019/06/dce5f78f-underwear-3.jpg" alt="Tess Holliday replying to Amy Schumer on Instagram." width="760" height="466" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram / Tess Holliday]] This isn't the first time that the comedian has been using humor to embrace the changes her body has gone through during pregnancy. She also did this photoshoot, embracing her pregnant body in all its "imperfect" glory. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu82FNMgmQn/]] However, the internet being the internet, Schumer's keeping it real approach was not met favorably by everyone: <img class="wp-image-12526276 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2019/06/02042e56-underwear-4.jpg" alt="A woman criticising Amy Schumer on Instagram.

" width="600" height="867" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram / Amy Schumer]] Now that's what I call rocking a c-section scar. <img class="wp-image-12526278 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2019/06/8a53069a-underwear-6.jpg" alt="Amy Schumer responding to Instagram trolls." width="760" height="300" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram / Amy Schumer]] You go, Mamma!
