Cardi B Shares Stunning & Intimate Hospital Photos After Welcoming Baby No. 3

Cardi B is officially a mom of three! The rapper shared the news on Instagram five days after welcoming a little girl with her estranged husband, Offset. “The prettiest lil thing ???????? 9/7/24 ????????????,” Cardi B captioned the sweet birth announcement.

In the first photo, Cardi B looks absolutely radiant as she holds her little bundle of joy in her arms while sitting in the hospital bed. Her nails are done in a light pink that perfectly matches her little girl’s hospital hat, and she even has bracelets (plural!) on.

“Ain’t no way you should look that good after giving birth ???? Congrats beautiful,” Chyng Diamond said.

Next up is a beyond-precious collage of Offset and their kids Kulture, 6 and Wave, 3 meeting the newest member of the family. Kulture is already a pro at this whole Big Sis Thing and is gently holding her little sister in her lap while her dad comforts her brother. When Offset got a chance to hold his new cutie, Wave looked away, seemingly nervous, but we’re sure he’ll be a great big brother in no time!

Then the Bodak Yellow rapper got incredibly intimate, sharing a beautiful and empowering photo of her breastfeeding her youngest. And apparently that little girl has a good appetite! In a later video, Offset sits in the hospital chair having some skin-to-skin time with his daughter on his chest. “I think she’s hungry. She’s sucking my nipple,” he said to the camera which then pans to Cardi B drinking water in her bed.

“So lactate,” someone in the room said. “I can’t do that,” he laughed. “I would.”

The carousel — which includes more photos of Cardi B looking flawless with her infant — closes with a raw and emotional shot that must have been when Cardi B saw her third kiddo for the first time. Only a mom can understand and decipher how that many emotions can be on one person’s face at one time.

Baby No. 3’s birth comes just over a month after Cardi B shocked fans by announcing her pregnancy and filing for divorce one day apart.

“With every ending comes a new beginning!” she captioned breathtaking photos of her growing baby bump.

“You have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power!” she continued, speaking to her baby. ” … You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish … It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”
