Life has been a bit of an adjustment for this celeb mom. Jessica Simpson just welcomed her third child and is now opening up about how she's recovering after having a C-section. Needless to say, her post is really hitting home with other moms who've been in her situation and it's inspiring them to open up about their own experiences.

Jess took to Instagram to share an update about how she's doing after her recent C-section.

"Recovering from a C-Section is no joke!" Jessica Simpson reveals in her Instagram post. "I'm feeling thankful for these two older siblings looking over their new baby sister. I think we all get so carried away with the excitement of having a new baby that we forget that we are going in for major surgery. Then on top of that, we get home from the hospital, have to recover from the surgery, balance our new life as a parent to three kids and be a wife."

Though life hasn't exactly been a walk in the park for Jess as of late, she's thankful for community and having fellow moms who've been through similar experiences she can speak to. "I have been chatting with other moms in my same situation and they have been answering my questions," she continues about using the Peanut app to stay in touch. "It is so nice to be able to relate to a community of moms and moms-to-be who are going through the same things as me."

As you can imagine, fellow moms -- who also had C-sections -- couldn't help but chime in, applauding Jessica for opening up.-placeholder

Having a C-section is still considered a stigma in most places. Some actually think it's the "easy way out" that belittles the experience moms who get the surgery -- whether elective or not -- have.

... and it needs to stop.

It's been two weeks since Jessica Simpson gave birth.

"We are so happy and proud to announce the birth of our perfect daughter, Birdie Mae Johnson. 3.19.19 ...10 Pounds 13 Ounces," Jessica shared in an Instagram post that doubled as a touching birth announcement.

Baby Birdie joins Jess and hubby Eric Johnson's daughter, Maxwell Drew, 6, and son, Ace Knute, 5.

And we hope Jess makes a full recovery.

... 'cause heaven knows how difficult it is trying to adjust to life with a newborn -- let alone, your body that went through the fire bringing life into this world.

Rest up, mama.
