Elsie Hewitt, the girlfriend of comedian and actor Pete Davidson, recently shared a raw and candid glimpse into her postpartum journey on Instagram. In a mirror selfie posted on December 22, 2023, she revealed the realities of new motherhood by showcasing a pair of adult diapers. “Adult diapers all day (and night),” she wrote above the photo, adding a light-hearted note about her sister’s curiosity regarding their use. “My sister asked if I pee in them & if ur wondering the answer is NO LMAO.”
Hewitt’s post also included a humorous reference to her postpartum care, directing her followers’ attention to an ice pack in the background with an arrow labeled “ice pack pads.” The 29-year-old model welcomed her first child, daughter Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, with Davidson on December 12, 2023. Earlier this month, she expressed her immense joy on social media, stating, “My best work yet, I am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief,” while affectionately referring to her newborn as “our perfect angel girl.”
Despite the joy of motherhood, Hewitt has openly discussed the challenges she faced during her pregnancy. On December 18, she revealed through Instagram Stories that she underwent an unexpected procedure to have a wisdom tooth removed shortly after giving birth. Alongside a picture of her swollen face, she wrote, “Who else had to get a wisdom tooth removed directly from hospital the day after they gave birth?”
Prior to the birth of Scottie, Hewitt shared her struggles with debilitating pain during her pregnancy. In November, she described her experience through Instagram Stories, stating she was in “absolute agony” and believed she might have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). “At this point, if you can think of something that there is to do about the pain, I have tried it,” she wrote, expressing her frustration and a desire for relief. “I am just straight-up suffering and in so much pain every single day. I actually really don’t know how it could get worse than this.”
Hewitt and Davidson confirmed their pregnancy in July 2023, sharing their excitement with fans. In a post that included a sonogram image and a cozy photo of the couple, Hewitt playfully remarked, “Welp now everyone knows we had sex.” Davidson, known for his role in “Saturday Night Live” and the film “The King of Staten Island,” expressed his enthusiasm for fatherhood during a July appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” “I did it!” he exclaimed, adding, “It’s my dream to be a dad so I’m so excited.”
As the couple navigates the early days of parenthood, Hewitt’s openness about her experiences highlights the challenges many new mothers face. Her candid posts serve as a reminder of the support and understanding that are often needed during such a transformative time.
