Motherhood is hard and definitely not always glamorous but in a recent couture shoot Rachel McAdams proved that motherhood can be sexy.
Clad in Versace and breast pumps the new mother showed that while she is a glamorous actress for her being a mom comes first. The glowing actress posed for the cover of Girls.Girls.Girls magazine and was photographed by founder Claire Rothstein. Previously McAdams has kept her personal life mostly private, which is why her pregnancy reveal in November was a surprise to most.
According to the photographer Rothstein, between shots, McAdams “was expressing/pumping as still breastfeeding. We had a mutual appreciation disagreement about who’s idea it was to take this picture but I’m still sure it was hers which makes me love her even more.”
Scroll down below to see the bold star in all her pumping glory.

The art concept inspired other women to post their own breast pumping pics

“I know not all moms can breastfeed, and not all babies latch, but when it does work out, celebrate it. It’s natural, beautiful, and f**king hard work. So whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, or doing one or both, own it, document it, and help normalize it. This photo of Rachel McAdams was taken by @clairerothstein for @girls.girls.girls.magazine, mine was taken in my office while in the middle of teaching because my breasts were about to explode. It’s not glamorous, and ironically we are both in plaid, but I needed to remember that moment”

Each to their own, and if this is what she wanted to do, then cool, but I'm personally not a fan of needing to photograph and post every aspect of being a mother - I worked and breastfed and pumped but did not feel the need to do this in front of my colleagues - this is very different from breastfeeding in public which is far more discreet than a pump hanging off your exposed breasts - this trend of obsessively needing to photograph everything and put it out there is kind of puzzling to me!
Some times we should keep things private... this was one of those times.
"I will probably NEVER view her as anything else but 'the gal with breast pumps hanging off her chest" Oh, come on! She's a very talented ans successful actress...

I don't like it, so I downvoted. Don't get me wrong, I support breast feeding, I just don't like the photo of it. Quite similar to taking a dump, it is very natural but I never enjoy the photograph of it.
Whoa ok, you don't like the picture, that's fine, but comparing breastfeeding with "taking a dump" is disgusting. Do you compare eating with that too? Pumping is still breastfeeding and although I don't think there are many women who would do so in public, this is not the message here! Calm down haters! The intention is to make people more aware about breastfeeding and therefore to challenge the many prejudices people have about it. They're not trying to send women pumping on the streets lol. But women do it IN ORDER FOR THEIR BABIES TO EAT, get used to it.
