The Real Housewives of Atlanta mother followed her hunch that she should check in on her daughter at college.

Sometimes, a mother just knows. Cynthia Bailey recently had an inkling that she should pay a visit to her daughter Noelle Robinson, who's currently a freshman at Howard University in Washington, D.C. And after she arrived, Cynthia was glad she'd taken the trip! 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Peacock and the Bravo App.

In her February 5 Instagram Stories, The Real Housewives of Atlanta model shared a photo that seemed to offer a small peek of her daughter at the doctor's office. "Out of nowhere something in my spirit told me to fly to DC . to check in on [Noelle]," Cynthia wrote. "Glad I did." She added hashtags spelling out: she fine, better now, momma knows best, and mom duties.

Noelle shed a little more light on the situation in her own stories. "Foot surgery," she wrote in one Instagram Story, followed by another post we were glad to see. Grinning, the 18-year-old wrote: "Everything went well." 

It seems like things looked up after the doctor's visit; in her next Story, Cynthia shared a photo of herself smiling in the sun alongside her mini me. Meanwhile, Noelle also posted a photo of herself embracing her mama, and wrote: "I love you the mostest."

Noelle left for college in the fall of 2018, and Cynthia admitted that it was hard to watch her go. "However," she wrote on Instagram, "I know I have to be strong, and let her find her own way. I did not think it would be this hard to let her go." As RHOA viewers saw in the clip below, leaving for college was also emotional and difficult for Noelle. But it looks like she's found her footing in DC, and gets plenty of mom time. 

Everything is going well, indeed!
