In a series of Instagram posts in the week after baby Charli’s birth, Neeley also got candid about how she spent her time in the hospital.
In one video, the Hulu star stated that she had successfully undergone an elective C-section.
“Baby girl is doing well, she’s healthy and that’s all I can ask for,” Neeley said in the clip. “I’m definitely in a lot more pain today than yesterday. The first day, you have the spinal [anesthesia] and kind of feel OK. After 24 hours, it wears off, though, and that’s when you start feeling pain. But I’ve been up and walking, did some laps around the hospital.”

Mayci exclusively announced her pregnancy with PEOPLE back in February. She previously shared her journey with in-vitro fertilization (IVF) on social media.
“It’s been really exciting. I think when you do IVF, it’s not a fun process. Usually, you tell your friends and family that you’re doing it, so there are no secrets or surprises. We decided this time not to share it with anyone, not even our family,” she told PEOPLE at the time.
“It’s been really fun being able to surprise people and have more of a normal experience as far as sharing the news. It’s been really fun for us to keep it a secret a bit longer,” the influencer continued.
“My kids are so excited to have a sibling,” added the reality star. “They already fight over whose baby it is, which is so funny. My daughter, she’s like, ‘It’s my baby!’ and my son’s like, ‘No, it’s our baby.’ They fight over who is going to change diapers and I’m like, ‘Great, I’ve got some little helpers.’ I’m excited for them, for all of us.”
