Fans praised Ireland Baldwin for offering an honest look inside her labour after the birth of her first child.
The 27-year-old, who is the daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, just gave birth to a child with her partner Rac, actual name Andre Allen Anjos.
She announced the baby’s arrival on Instagram this week, uploading a snapshot of herself cuddling her daughter, Holland, in her hospital bed next to her spouse.
In a new post, the model is shown in a birthing pool halfway through her labour, cradling a can of Sprite as she prepares to present her infant.
She joked beside the photograph, ‘The shot I’m going to show my kid when she backtalks.’
Fans were ecstatic at Ireland’s candour and hurried to express their gratitude in the comments section below.

Supermodel Gigi Hadid, who is mom to daughter Khai, felt her pain, simply sliding in to pen: ‘Word.’
A follower suggested: ‘Frame it and hang it in her room.’
‘This is one of the most badass photos ever,’ another agreed.
‘Absolutely! Pregnancy and birth are so hard- thank you for keeping it REAL,’ an Instagram user said.

As a commenter added: ‘LOL, that’s a good one @irelandirelandireland. Best wishes to you and your family. Nothing like being a Mom.’
Ireland announced her pregnancy on New Year’s Eve and has since updated her social media fans on her parenthood journey, including her embarrassing baby shower.
On Thursday, she revealed the arrival of their bundle of joy, announcing her name as ‘Holland’.
She recently decided to tone down her openness after receiving unwanted advice and remarks about her pregnancy from certain followers.
‘I hate people who go out of their way to instill fear in others,’ she explained in a lengthy post last month. ‘I don’t care if you think this is someone who is trying to be helpful… It isn’t. My hands aren’t swollen. My body is… pregnant.
‘My cheeks and my face have been puffy my whole life. My blood pressure is normal. My blood work is normal. I’m fine.
‘Not that I feel obligated to / like I’m so important and this is some grand announcement, but I’ve decided to keep the remainder of my pregnancy as private as possible as well as my daughter/her life and all of the things.
‘I shared tidbits here and there because I enjoyed connecting with people, feeling less alone at times, etc… but social media makes me miserable. You can only block so many frightening/ judgemental/ deranged low lifes in a day [sic].’
