Little People’s Audrey Roloff admits she’s ‘hurting’ & ‘crying tears of pain’ days after giving birth to son Radley
LITTLE People, Big World's Audrey Roloff admitted she is "hurting" and "crying tears of pain" days after giving birth to her third child and newborn son, Radley.
The LPBW star vulnerably opened up about her pain and exhaustion in a tell-all post discussing her postpartum experience on Instagram.
Audrey, 30, shared a sweet photo of her holding Radley close to her chest, and although the moment was precious, the reality star claimed that many mothers' postpartum experiences are anything but.
She captioned the first photograph, indicating that the photograph was taken two days postpartum: "Maybe it will be different this time.
"Maybe I'll get through the first week of recovery without the dreaded M word... I didn't tear as bad. I didn't hemorrhage this time."
Audrey left no detail of her experience out for her fans and continued: "My birth experience was so beautiful and peaceful and empowering. Those first few days postpartum I was so encouraged."
However, Audrey expressed that on her third day postpartum, her pain took a turn for the worst.
The mother-of-now-three posted a photograph of her nose red and blotchy, as she looked completely exhausted lying in bed.

She continued her long post reminding fans that there's more to giving birth than the cute baby photos: "This is what you hardly ever see on the other side of the screen.
"An overflowing postpartum nightstand with a very tired, hurting, recovering mama. Tears of joy as she swoons over her newborn baby and tears of pain as she aches in too many places to count."
Audrey commented that she believes people don't talk about it openly enough.
She wanted to remind other mothers that if "your body feels wrecked" that they are not alone.
PROUD MOMENT
The new mama hasn't been shy to show off her journey at any point, as yesterday she posted a photo taken of herself wearing only a bra and shorts "just one hour postpartum."
In it, she appeared to still have a baby bump, though she had already delivered son Radley.
She captioned the post: "The 1 hour postpartum mirror selfie. God made our bodies to do miraculous things like bringing life into the world.";
Audrey delivered her son in a bathtub, sharing photos from the experience on social media.
Radley is their third child.
In addition to the postpartum photos, Audrey posted photos of her middle child, Ember, posing while holding her new baby brother.
Ember appeared thrilled with the new addition to their family.
'IT'S A BOY'
Audrey and husband Jeremy Roloff welcomed their son earlier this week.
The reality star posted intimate photos of herself giving birth in a bath tub on social media.
In one photo, the author appeared to be cradling her son while sitting in the tub.
She shared the photo on her Instagram Story. It also showed Jeremy, 31, touching Audrey's face as she smiled up at him.
Audrey captioned the post: "Can't wait to share his birth story with you guys."
In another picture, Audrey sat in the tub with Radley as Jeremy held onto her hand. The duo smiled for the camera.
She captioned the post: "Photo was taken right away Jer shouts, 'It's a BOY!'"
BABY MAKES THREE
Audrey shared an intimate look inside her birth experience days after her son's birth.
On Tuesday, she posted the first photos of the child.
She shared a series of family photos, captioning the post: "It's a BOY!!! Welcome to the world Radley Knight Roloff.
"Born 11.8.21 at 6:32 am 9.1 lbs 21.5 in and born en caul which was wild! I can't wait to share his brith story with you soon.
"We are grateful to God for answering so many specific prayers in regards to this labor and delivery.
"A word that I had been praying over this birth was 'harmony.' And it truly was one of the most harmonious experiences."
Audrey and Jeremy share kids Ember, three, and Bode, one.
Friends and family were thrilled about the arrival of the baby.
ALMOST TIME!
Meanwhile, Audrey's sister-in-law Isabel Roloff, 25, said she has been in labor for days as the reality star "waits" for her first-born child with her husband Jacob.
Isabel took to her Instagram stories to share some exciting updates on her child's impending birth with her fans.
The 25-year-old reality star teased the baby's birth, as she wrote: "I kept having what I thought were Braxton Hicks the past couple of days, but my midwife was like 'mm... sounds like those are the real thing.'"
Isabel then posted a video of her baby bump as she stood in front of the ocean with the rolling waves.
Their dog could be spotted running along the beach behind her.
A tight black sweater kept Isabel's belly warm as the mother-to-be took her hand to adjust the top, pulling it down over her stomach.
Isabel captioned the video: "So now we just wait."
The reality star took to her Instagram Story on Thursday to share a video of Jacob’s hand and her hand rested on her baby bump as their unborn child kicked.
Alongside the video, the LPBW alum wrote: “Feeling our first baby move together.
“Moving through sooo much these last few weeks.”
She added: “I have anxiety but ultimately it’s a good test for me to see how far I can be pushed, how much I can believe in myself and how much I have grown.”
