A mom is going viral for sharing a powerfully raw moment on TikTok just two hours after giving birth, and viewers are in tears.Mom of two, Maddie Castellano (@maddiecastellano), recently garnered over 7.7M views when she posted her beautiful video to TikTok.In the video, Maddie is gently swaying in her hospital room, her tiny newborn in her arms, to the song "So This Is Love," from the Disney movie, "Cinderella".To make the moment more powerful, Maddie is proudly standing in her disposable mesh underwear.
