The 36-year-old actress is "grateful" to have returned to the set of 'This Is Us' - in which she plays Rebecca Pearson - just a month after giving birth to her son August, particularly because the tot and her husband Taylor Goldsmith have accompanied her to filming.
Mandy shared a selfie from the set, in which she wore a face mask while having her hair styled and wrote on her Instagram story: “Mom is BACK at work!!! (sic)"
She then shared another photo and wrote: “Beck is back. So grateful to be able to ease back into this job I love so much (and to be able to bring my sweet hubby and baby to hang with me).(sic)"
Mandy then posted a third selfie, dressed in her character's costume of brown turtleneck and denim skirt, and corrected her own misspelling of her alter ego's name.
She wrote: “And when I mean Beck, I clearly meant Bec. (sic)"
The 'Tangled' star recently compared giving birth to being on an "acid trip" because it was such an "insular experience".
She said: "It's like you're on this trip. You're on this like acid trip or something. Like, I was in my own head, doing my own thing. I could hear people—I could hear suggestions and sometimes agree with them.
"Ultimately, it was such an insular experience, which sounds silly that I guess I didn't really imagine it. I felt like it was going to be somewhat more participatory with other people, that I would see their faces and be awake and alert and like, listen to their suggestions."
Mandy recalled how she had her eyes closed during the process and added: "I was on my own. It was my own narrative, my own story."
The 'Candy' singer felt "super prepared" for labour because she'd taken classes on breathing techniques.
However, she admitted: "All of that just went out the window. For me, it was just all about instinct."
