In another photo, she shared a selfie of her in disposable underwear and joked “noone told her she would have to change her diapers too”.
“After all these years in fashion I never could’ve guessed that disposable underwear would be my favorite piece of clothing but here we are!” she wrote.
“No one talks about the recovery and healing (yes even the messy parts) new moms go through. I wanted to show you guys that it’s not all rainbows and butterflies!”

In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Graham explained: “Something interesting that I've learned about motherhood in relation to criticism is that, when you're pregnant, everyone's obsessed with you.
“But what happens when the baby comes, is that everybody has an opinion about how you should parent - even though they told you, 'Don't take advice from anybody.'"
