She has been incredibly candid about the ups and downs of motherhood, including the challenges she faces living with scoliosis.

Emily’s Journey with Scoliosis and Childbirth

During a recent Instagram Q&A, Emily opened up about living with severe scoliosis, which affects her upper back. When a fan expressed concerns about giving birth with scoliosis, Emily reassured them, sharing her own experience. “Haley and I both have scoliosis in the 40-degree range in our upper back! We were so worried about this when getting pregnant and having babies and getting the epidural!” she said.

Fortunately, Emily’s experience was positive, as she shared that neither she nor her twin sister Haley had any issues during childbirth. “Luckily, neither of us had any issues at all! I hope this gives you some relief and positivity! It can be scary, but it can also be a positive experience too!” Emily continued, explaining that her main struggle during pregnancy was lower back pain.

Navigating Life with Two Kids

Parenting two children has its challenges, as Emily revealed during the Q&A. “I love being a mama times 2!!! It’s hard sometimes when Beckham and Maxwell both need me at the same time, but otherwise, it’s the best kind of chaos and I’m loving it!” she shared. Emily also gave a peek behind the scenes of how she manages her busy life as a mother. “We have a full-time nanny who helps us keep life running smoothly around here. It truly takes a village, and we’re so grateful for the extra set of hands (and heart) helping love on our boys.”

Her honesty about the demands of motherhood and the support system she has in place is both refreshing and relatable to many other parents.
