In an Instagram post, Andi revealed that she cries at night while others are sleeping.

"Before my last pregnancy, I had focused so much on preparing my mind to accept myself for the way I will look even after giving birth, and the possibility of not 'bouncing back,'" part of the caption read.

"What I didn't realise is that there are also other aspects of being a new mom (again) that I may have needed to prepare my mind for as well."

Andi added that she "neglected the part where emotional healing might be necessary."

"I guess this is what post partum depression looks like to me. I haven't been feeling like myself lately.

"Sleepless nights are getting the best of me. When others are asleep I'd shed tears I'd normally save for my acting performances on tv show finales."

In the end, Andi asks her fellow moms who is suffering from postpartum depression advises.

"Just hoping that the fact that Im aware of other moms going through this, and that I am acknowledging what this feeling may be, will hopefully be helpful," she wrote.

"But I know there are other more helpful ways. Any advice would be much appreciated."

Being vocal about body and self love on social media before my last pregnancy, I had focused so much on preparing my mind to accept myself for the way I will look even after giving birth, and the possibility of not “bouncing back”. What i didnt realise is that there are also other aspects of being a new mom (again) that I may have needed to prepare my mind for as well. I neglected the part where emotional healing might be necessary too. I guess this is what post partum depression looks like to me. I haven't been feeling like myself lately. Sleepless nights are getting the best of me. When the others are asleep I'd shed tears I'd normally save for my acting performances on tv show finales (lol). Ive been having so many thoughts of guilt. Ive been questioning every decision Ive made that led me here. I read so much about caring for a newborn and prepping to be a new mom again but I seemed to have ignored post partum depression. (I guess cus it didnt seem exciting.) But now I dont know much about it. Just hoping that the fact that Im aware of other moms going through this, and that i am acknowledging what this feeling may be, will hopefully be helpful. But I know there are other more helpful ways. Any advice would be much appreciated! X
