The mother of two, who shares son Jackson Kyle with husband Zach Roloff, revealed the hospital experience felt different than her last.
‘The hospital this time was so much more difficult for me,’ she wrote in response to another question about her recovery. ‘However I feel like I’ve recovered a lot faster this time around. Now just trying to get back into shape and love my body through [postpartum].’
The proud mom is getting through by focusing on feeling ‘thankful and blessed’ for her children.

She even shed light on the reason behind her C-section.
‘It’s not that I couldn’t have a VBAC [vaginal birth after caesarean section] but just most likely it would have ended in a C-section so we just skipped ahead.’
The mom’s candid answers are no shock to her followers, as she often chronicles her experience raising children with dwarfism.

In May, the mom shared some confessional poetry about her little boy and not seeing him differently than other children.
On Instagram, she wrote, ‘I often forget that my son is any different than yours’ and adding, ‘I forget that he has shorter legs because he can get around and run just like any other 2 year old.’
In the same post she revealed it was hard seeing him watch younger kids ride bikes when he wasn’t able to join.
Overcoming: ‘It was really the first time I was hit in the face with the fact my child is different,’ she wrote of going to a local festival
‘Jackson wanted so bad to ride the airplanes that went up and down but the height requirement wouldn’t allow him to (which I totally understand,)’ she explained of their rough day at festival.
The experience was eye-opening for her, and she claims it made her feel worse than her son did.
‘It was really the first time I was hit in the face with the fact my child is different,’ she wrote.
Proud parents: She’s raising her children to be strong enough to face his own bullies.
While some ride restrictions may hold her son back, she ended the post on a more optimistic note, writing, ‘I forget that he’s different because he’s so capable.’
This is why she’s raising Jackson to be strong enough to face his own bullies.
‘It won’t help for Zach and I to take care of the situation. Jackson has to learn to deal with problems on his own,’ she wrote after a fan asked about their approach to dealing with internet trolls and classroom bullies on National Dwarfism Awareness Day.
