First-time mom Kris Bernal was candid enough to admit in her Instagram post about her struggle with her postpartum body.

It was in August 2023 when she gave birth to her beautiful baby girl, Hailee Lucca, with non-showbiz husband Pery Choi.

In her post via Instagram Story, she stated that her “mom era” has given her purpose saying, “To my postpartum body, I may not like you now. But, I am grateful for you and all you went through.”

“Motherhood has given me a purpose to leave behind the things that were no longer meant for me and that I gratefully outgrew.”

She continued, “I'm in my mom era and I couldn't be happier.”

Kris also has this advice to new mommies who are struggling breastfeeding their babies to take care of their mental health, too.

“I find myself feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and struggling with my mental health and it is greatly affecting my well-being,” Kris shared.

“I'm close to giving up breastfeeding exclusively. But, breast is best and I am blessed! Hannga't may gatas pa, kakayanin! Thankful that up to this day I am still able to nourish my baby with milk! If you're a new mom struggling with breastfeeding, I feel you. You're not alone.”

She added, “Remember, your mental health is your main priority, seek support, and always remember that there are a lot of options to choose from that can still make our babies healthy.”

The StarStruck alumna tied the knot with Perry in September 2021. The two got engaged in 2020.
