Natasha Bure, daughter of Candace Cameron Bure, shared a lengthy Instagram post on Wednesday, November 11, describing a difficult postpartum recovery about six weeks after giving birth. Her first child, a daughter named Winnie, was born to her and husband Bradley Steven Perry on October 6. Natasha wrote that the past six weeks have rocked her, citing health complications, nights in the hospital without her baby, crippling anxiety, hormonal shifts and the physical toll of recovery, and said most days still feel like survival mode. She thanked her support network, including her husband, parents and friends, and praised the nurses and doctors who helped her through each obstacle. She also said she is deeply in love with her daughter while acknowledging that this season is unbelievably difficult and perhaps the hardest thing she has experienced. Natasha ended the post with a message to other postpartum mothers, saying she wanted to talk about the parts of new motherhood that are not pretty or photographed. The post included photos of her in the hospital and bonding with her baby. Us Weekly reported that Natasha is the eldest of Candace and Valeri Bure's three children, and that her brother Lev welcomed his first baby in August.
