Iya Villania-Arellano got real with her "just gave birth" body on social media

Though she had just given birth to her fourth child, Iya Villania-Arellano did not shy away from posting a realistic selfie showing off her post-partum body right after giving birth to son Astro Phoenix V. Arellano--which she describes as her "most painful" childbirth experience.

In an Instagram Story, Iya bared her baby bump less than two days after she gave birth.

In a recent social media post, Iya shared a few details of her challenging unmedicated delivery.

"My longest and most painful delivery but also the most special because I was praying for strength and courage EVERY SINGLE DAY hoping to get thru an unmedicated birth to wrap up this journey (yes guys, I believe this is the last! )

"I was at 6cm and giving up when I asked for the drugs when all of a sudden God flipped a switch and I delivered 30-40mins after!!! He knew the desires of my heart and He opened my cervix up before the drugs came

"What an experience. Thank you, Lord

"Say hello to Astro Phoenix V. Arellano
