Mom Life! Amy Schumer Pumps Breastmilk in a Tube Top: ‘What Are We Doing Tonight?’
New mama problems! Amy Schumer took to social media to share what she’s been up to as a new mother — and it seems to include a whole lot of breast pumping for her son, Gene Fischer. Naturally, the 37-year-old has found the humor in even the most mundane parts of motherhood.
“Guys what are we doing tonight?” she captioned the hilarious photo posted to her Instagram on May 18, of herself with her breast pumps attached and ready. She even added the hashtags “#schumerpump” and “#ootd,” while tagging Vanderpump Rules star Stassi Schroeder who made the hashtag into a national holiday. Anyone else hope these two are BFFs?
The comedian and her husband, Chris Fischer, announced the birth of their son on May 5 — but she was joking her way through pregnancy before getting a kick out of motherhood.
Amy, unfortunately, suffered from hyperemesis during her nine-month term and the complication began rearing its ugly head when she started vomiting en route to comedy shows. After the condition put her in the hospital, things went from bad to worse and forced her to cancel her remaining tour dates.
She handled the condition with grace and strength … and was able to reflect on the experience post-birth with a ton of clarity.
“I did Pilates with strong women and went for walks. I threw up violently and felt sick mostly every day of my pregnancy,” she wrote on Instagram on May 11. “Hyperemesis is real and it’s awful. But f—k, what they say is true. The second you give birth it’s gone.”
She also shouted out powerful women and her friends for supporting her through all the craziness of pregnancy. “Women are the s—t. Men are cool and whatever but women are f—king warriors and capable of anything,” she continued. “All my friends. Friends I’ve had for 30 years or people who encouraged me to ‘keep going’ or telling me ‘it will be worth it.’ Thank you.”
