It's been a few years since The Good Place star Kristen Bell has been pregnant, but she reminisced on Instagram this week in honor of her daughter's birthday.

Kristen Bell commemorated her daughter Delta’s third birthday on Instagram with a series of never-seen-before throwback images.

Bell, who is also mom of Lincoln, 4, once called giving birth “a wonderful experience” thanks to her epidural. “As someone who never experimented with drugs, I really enjoyed it,” she said during a 2015 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “While they were doing it I thought: ‘What else could we get done down there? . . . Anything to keep the epidural flowing.”
Six hours later, when the pain medication left her system, the A Bad Moms Christmas star started scratching her face “like a meth addict” and found herself asking Shepard for a “re-up” of the epidural. Instead the nurse gave Bell Benadryl. “What a cocktail,” she joked. “I started telling all these stories and I was taking 30-second pauses between ‘and’ and ‘the.'”
