Aoibhin Garrihy opens up about ‘lonley time’ during pregnancy

Aoibhin Garrihy has opened up about a “lonely time” at the start of her pregnancy.

The actress, who is expecting her first child with husband John Burke, has revealed she felt down at the beginning of her pregnancy.

“While we were trying, and we really wanted it to happen, when I got pregnant I was really low in iron and lacking in motivation and the morning sickness was 24/7 for the first three months so that all hit me like a ton of bricks,” she told the Sunday Independent.

“That period was a really lonely time and people don’t like to talk about that but at the same time we both know we are very lucky to be expecting.

“I am in a very good place now. I love swimming and yoga and going for a run and walking the dogs. To me it’s more about mindfulness rather than exercise.

“When I don’t get out in the fresh air I start to feel it in my mind,” she explained.

The former Fair City star also opened up about reciving criticism online, for being so active during her pregnancy.

After climbing Carrauntoohil, she was called “irresponsibly silly” by a follower on her Instagram, and she was endured more criticism since.

“When I uploaded a post about manuka honey, I was told I shouldn’t be eating it because it breeds bacteria,” she admitted.

“Then when I posted a photo in a yoga studio I was told it was dangerous because it affects the blood flow.

“The whole area of pregnancy and motherhood is a funny one. People are quite opinionated.

“The most interactions I’ve ever had on social media is people telling me what’s right and what’s wrong in pregnancy,” she added.
