For Mother’s Day, Draya Michele shared a video of herself giving birth to her son, Jru Scandrick, born April 8th. The video shows the reality star in the process of giving birth. We see a doctor pulling baby Jru out of Draya’s womb—the entire thing. “When I pulled him from my body I’ve never felt so important,” Draya later wrote in a caption, with the hashtags #HappyMohtersDay and #ReachOutAndBringLifeIntoTheWorld Moms On Why Giving Birth Makes You a Badass​ Numerous commenters are praising Draya Michele for sharing this sentimental and powerful moment in her life, while a few feel this perspective of motherhood is oversharing.
