Stacey Solomon has opened up about her past struggle with post natal depression.
Posting to Instagram, the mum discussed how anxiety and depression marred her post-pregnancy experience.
“When I had Zachary 11 years ago i really struggled with the way that I felt,” she wrote.
“I only realised years later when I was pregnant with Leighton and crying to my midwife because i was so anxious about giving birth and not loving him straight away (among lots of other things), that I had post natal depression.”
“I honestly believe that this time around with Rex if The perinatal mental health services and mental health helplines & charities weren’t available I would be struggling to deal with my feelings.”
“Depression and anxiety don’t discriminate.”
“I feel so passionate about raising awareness and trying to get more funds to much needed mental health services.”
The mother of three welcomed her son Rex in May.
