Estela Grande reveals the challenges mothers of twins face after childbirth. Estela Grande has openly addressed the issue she faces after giving birth to twins. Her candid revelation sparked a wave of discussion among young mothers. The spotlight is on the health and daily life of this celebrity family.
Estela Grande is once again in the spotlight—not due to a glamorous appearance or a headline-grabbing interview, but because of a personal detail she was unafraid to share publicly. Five months ago, the blogger and former reality show participant became a mother of twins—Luca and Liah. Since then, her Instagram has turned into a true diary of a young mom: it features joys and anxieties, along with honest confessions that motherhood is not just beautiful photos, but also daily challenges.
Recently, Estela shared a new episode from her life with her followers: in the photo, she poses with an elastic bandage on her wrist, her babies beside her. The reason—acute pain in her hand, something, as it turns out, every tenth young mother experiences. According to Grande, it’s the constant strain and endless movement with two children that have led her to wear a special supportive bandage for recovery.
Postpartum tendinitis
As Divinity notes, this is so-called 'de Quervain's tendinitis'—inflammation of the thumb tendons, often called 'mommy thumb.' This issue arises due to hormonal changes and repetitive movements while caring for infants. Symptoms include sharp pain at the base of the thumb, discomfort when making a fist or rotating the wrist, and sometimes a characteristic clicking sound during movement.
In Estela's case, the situation is complicated by little Liah becoming especially active: according to the blogger, the girl already turns over on her own and can roll out of the playpen if you take your eyes off her for just a second. This pace requires the mother to be extremely focused and physically resilient, and any health problems immediately become noticeable.
How to cope with pain
Doctors advise young mothers not to ignore the first signs of discomfort. To prevent and relieve the condition, they recommend using special splints to support the thumb, watching your hand positioning while feeding and carrying the baby, as well as doing light exercises and applying cold or heat to the inflamed area. Physiotherapy and changing some habits can significantly speed up recovery.
Estela Grande’s openness did not go unnoticed: many followers admitted facing similar difficulties but weren’t always ready to speak about them openly. Stories are appearing with increasing frequency in the Spanish celebrity press about famous mothers sharing not only beautiful moments, but also real challenges. For example, Alma Bollo recently spoke about her fears and guilt related to motherhood — her confession caused no less of a stir (more about the public reaction).
Media impact and support
The story of Estela Grande is yet another reminder that behind glossy photos and likes lies real life, with its joys, fatigue, and pain. The openness of celebrity mothers helps break stereotypes and support other women facing similar challenges. According to Divinity, such candid revelations are becoming an increasingly important part of the public conversation about motherhood in Spain.
