Candace Cameron Bure’s daughter, Natasha Perry, is sharing insight into her difficult postpartum journey.
“I feel like I could write a novel about the past 6 weeks being postpartum, yet finding the words to accurately describe it all feels equally impossible,” Perry, 28, began in a lengthy Instagram post on Wednesday, November 11. “In the midst of the sweetest baby moments that feel like heaven on earth, there is also the uncomfortable reality of recovery. It’s been the opposite of how I ever imagined this chapter. It has given me a level of respect and awe of mothers that I can’t even explain. Superheros.”
Natasha, who welcomed her first baby with husband Bradley Steven Perry on October 6, admitted that the past six weeks have “rocked” her.
“Between the health complications, nights in the hospital without my baby, crippling anxiety, hormonal shifts, the physical toll of it all, and trying to mentally stay afloat for myself and my family — most days still just feel like survival mode,” she wrote.
Natasha then praised her “village” for their support, including her husband, parents and friends.
“My gratitude is endless for the nurses and doctors who have literally held my hand and pushed me through each obstacle,” she added. “Most importantly, I am reminded in the midst of chaos, how good God is. I have clung to 2 Timothy 1:7, ‘For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.’ The power of prayer is so real. Thank you Jesus for this body that gave me my perfect girl and continues to carry me through every hardship.”
Natasha continued, “While I am ridiculously in love with my daughter and so thankful for the gift of being her Mom, it’s okay to also acknowledge that this season is unbelievably difficult and maybe even the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced. Both can exist at once.”
She concluded with a message for fellow postpartum mothers.
“I will always love sharing the beautiful moments of life, but it feels so important to also talk about the parts that aren’t pretty or photographed,” she wrote. “To the moms in the thick of postpartum, you’re so seen. I’m sending you the biggest hug. You are a real life superhero and doing absolutely incredible. ❤️.”
Alongside her caption, Natasha included several photos of herself in the hospital and other moments bonding with her baby.
Natasha announced last month that she and Bradley, 27, had welcomed a baby girl named Winnie.
“It was always you, my Winnie,” she captioned Polaroid photos of their family of three.
Natasha is the eldest of Candace and husband Valeri Bure’s three children. The couple, who tied the knot in June 1996, are also parents to sons Lev and Maks. Lev, 26, welcomed his first baby with wife Elliott Bure in August.
Natasha and Bradley tied the knot in September 2025. They announced in May that they were expecting their first child.
