The fourth trimester is the 12-week period immediately after you have had your baby. Not everyone has heard of of it, but every mother and their newborn baby will go through it. It is a time of great physical and emotional change as your baby adjusts to being outside the womb, and you adjust to your new life as a mum. • • • • • #4thtrimester #4thtrimesterbodies #pregnancy #👶🏽 #birthannouncement #laboranddelivery #labor #delivery #mum #momlife #babylove #baby #boymom💙 #mom #momsofinstagram #momwithboys #boymomlife #🤰🏾 #babyboy #babyfever #sleepdeprived #sleepdeprivation #hospital #hospitallife #laboranddeliveryphotography

She confronted the actress in her Instagram direct message, asking why she used her baby’s picture as her own.

Abubakar told the woman that she only used the picture after she googled baby pictures and it came up.

She said she also had a baby and she wanted to announce his arrival.

The actress added that she never said the baby in the picture was her own and she apologised to the woman.

Abubakar also promised to delete the picture from her page.

The­_arielb shared the screenshot of the conversation on her Instagram story alongside photos of comments she received from people who saw the post and the photo Abubakar posted.
