Andi Eigenmann on postpartum depression: ‘I’m choosing to look on the positive side’
Less than a month after giving birth to baby Koa, Andi Eigenmann shares that she is choosing to look at the brighter side of life, instead of letting postpartum depression take over.
In a Youtube vlog on Sunday, the actress opened up about what she experienced with Lilo before, aiming to be better this time around.
“In my Instagram, I mentioned I had postpartum depression with Lilo. Papa (Philmar Alipayo) would always tell me that this phase will go by very quickly and now, I just really want to enjoy my time with my kids,” she said.
“Everyday, they are growing and we will never get this time back, so I’m choosing to look on the positive side of all of this and (I’m) really just been enjoying the super sarap feeling of having a newborn,” she continued.
In an Instagram post Sunday, the actress added that she noticed how time passed and how much Lilo has grown.
“I truly missed newborn days with Lilo. It eventually sunk in how quickly that phase does go by, so now, I am enjoying every bit of it with papa and the girls!” she wrote in the caption with a heart.
In August 2019, Andi revealed in an Instagram post that she experienced postpartum depression after giving birth to Lilo in July.
According to her, a “positive mindset” helped her overcome it, making way for the happy Andi we often see in her vlogs and posts.
