Pregnant Hilary Duff understands that growing a human being is beautiful. But it’s also tough both mentally and physically.
Duff, who is expecting a baby girl with her boyfriend, Matthew Koma, opened up about about the experience in a Wednesday, July 25, Instagram post.
“The boobs are big the belly is big the body is big,” the 30-year-old began. “Man . . . pregnancy is hard. Giving love to all the mamas who make it look effortless . . . this journey is hard as hell and also incredibly special.”
The Younger actress marveled that it’s “lovely to have a little life inside and to day dream of all the new adventures to come” but at the same time she can barely tie her own shoes.
“Sick of getting up 9 times a night to pee and looking at this weird body in the mirror that is not my own at the moment,” wrote Duff. “Women are so bad ass, this was just a note to remind myself and remind others how strong and beautiful you are! WE GOT THIS!”
The Lizzie McGuire alum, who shares son Luca, 6, with her ex-husband Mike Comrie, surprised fans on June 8 when she announced that she is expecting baby No. 2.
Duff was hoping for a daughter and admitted she was “nervous” before the gender reveal. “I thought for sure I was going to have a boy,” she told KISS-FM’s On Air With Ryan Seacrest in June. “I’m obsessed with Luca — but I wanted one of each.”
