Amy Schumer is standing by pregnant women during the coronavirus pandemic.
The comedian just shared a positive message to them all in a classic Amy way.
Amy Schumer has always been a champion for pregnant women.
After giving birth to her first child with husband Chris Fischer last May, she spoke out about how amazing women are.
“Men are cool and whatever but women are [expletive] warriors and capable of anything,” she wrote on Instagram.
In her post, she also got candid about the hyperemesis gravidarum she experienced during her pregnancy.
This is a severe form of morning sickness.
“Doctor Brill and all the nurses and pediatricians at Lenox Hill and all the other hospitals I spent time in this year, thank you for everything.”
She continued:
“I did Pilates with strong women and went for walks. I threw up violently and felt sick mostly every day of my pregnancy. Hyperemesis is real and it’s awful. But [expletive], what they say is true. The second you give birth it’s gone.”
Now that she and hubbie Chris are trying for baby #2 via IVF, she’s been candid about the struggles with that, too.
“I’m a week into IVF and feeling really run down and emotional,” she shared in an Instagram post in January.
She then asked her followers for some advice.
“If anyone went through it and if you have any advice or wouldn’t mind sharing your experience with me please do. My number is in my bio. We are freezing my eggs and figuring out what to do to give Gene a sibling.”
While the ‘Trainwreck’ star has yet to announce that she’s pregnant, she is looking out for pregnant women during the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) , there are some concerns for pregnant women during this time.
That’s because they “may be at higher risk of severe illness, morbidity or mortality compared with the general population,” they wrote.
“Adverse infant outcomes (e.g., preterm birth) also have been reported among infants born to mothers positive for COVID-19 during pregnancy.”
This past Saturday, Amy took to her Instagram stories to share a positive message for expectant mothers everywhere.
In the throwback black-and-white picture, she was breastfeeding her then-newborn son.
Schumer’s post makes her one of the latest celebs to speak out about the coronavirus.
Recently, 90210 alum Shannen Doherty urged her followers to stay home as she battles stage four breast cancer.
“I am staying home (and ranting) for us ALL. For my fellow cancer warriors who fight hard everyday for more time,” she began her caption.
“For my mom. For my family. For my husband. For my mother in law and father in law. For my friends. For my friends kids. For every single one of you.”
Other celebs who have gotten involved include Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, and David and Victoria Beckham.
Ryan Reynolds shared the important message with a touch of humor (and shade!).
As for Amy, she’s not just spreading positivity.
She’s also spreading humor by keeping people entertained on social media!
Her videos have been sooo relatable.
Here she is cutting her husband’s hair.
She didn’t do a bad job!
Thank goodness Chris didn’t end up with a mullet like Joe Exotic from Tiger King !
“Next, you’ll cut my hair,” Amy says.
Amy posted these pics to inspire the wanderlust in all of us:
Who needs to travel when you can photoshop yourself hovering anywhere in the world without some of your limbs?
Finally, Amy shared this sweet video of her applauding for frontline workers.
Say what you will about Amy, but she’s really proving herself during this difficult time.
She’s got grace, compassion, positivity, a great sense of humor, and, hopefully soon, a second baby on the way! <3
