Rihanna, 34, recently opened up about the ups and downs of being pregnant, saying that some days she feels the pregnancy glow while, on other days, it's hard to even get out of bed. She posted a picture on her Instagram yesterday to share how being pregnant has changed her relationship with her mom.

Rihanna Says Pregnancy Has Made Her Love and Respect Her Mom More Than Ever

Yesterday was Rihanna's mom's birthday, and she wrote a sweet tribute as she shared a photo of herself as a child with her mother.

"Today is my Queen’s birthday!!!" she wrote in the caption. "Being on the verge of motherhood, unlocked new levels of love and respect I have for my mommy in a way that I could never explain!"

"She’s the true MVP and I wanna give her her flowers every second I can! Love you mumzzzz!!! Happy Birthday! We gon celebrate on da link up!"

In the photo, Rihanna is wearing a white dress that matches her mother's, and it seems like they're sitting in church. It's a sweet throwback that sends us back to our childhood. And any woman out there who is a mom can agree that being pregnant brings you closer to your own mom than you ever were before.
