Lea Michele has taken to Instagram to celebrate the scars from her caesarian section in an inspiring bikini post.
Uploading the shots to her Instagram Stories over the weekend, the 34-year-old Glee star shared an image of her post-partum body with her 6.6 million followers on the platform.
The image in question shows Michele wearing a pair of black aviator shades and a black bikini while reclining comfortably on a sun lounger.
She captioned her post:
"C-section scar so low you can't even see it.
"Although I don't mind at all because it's the greatest reminder in the whole world! I can't believe it's August and my baby's going to be 1 soon."
This isn't the first time that the actress has shared such a candid post either. Back in May, she shared another revealing snap of her post-pregnancy body with her fans on her Stories.
She captioned this post: "Feeling very grateful for this body right now for its strength in making a baby!"
Michele first broke the news that she was expecting a baby with her husband, Zandy Reich, back in May of 2020. She later gave birth to her son, whom the couple named Ever Leo, on August 20, 2020.
However, the Broadway performer's pregnancy was beset by complications caused by polycystic ovary syndrome - a hormonal issue that can cause fertility problems.
Per Yahoo Life, she commented on her ordeal in an Instagram Live video with Katherine Schwarzenegger back in March, stating: "I had to have multiple procedures to remove polyps and cysts and scar tissues, and it just got really hard for us."
She continued: "I really wanted to have a vaginal birth. To me, I felt like, for whatever reason, I felt like that really means that I’m a mom."
According to the above publication, she then added: "I felt so weak and helpless during my pregnancy and scared and just a version of myself that I don't ever... it was just horrible, and I felt that if I could have the experience of having a vaginal birth that I could show my strength."
