Jessica Sanchez says postpartum 'is a feeling no one really prepares you for'

Jessica Sanchez took to social media to open up about the emotional reality of postpartum life.

On Facebook, the singer shared photos of her family, including a solo photo of her baby.

"Postpartum is a feeling no one really prepares you for. It's love so deep it hurts, joy mixed with exhaustion, gratitude tangled with tears. Your body feels unfamiliar, your heart feels fuller than ever, and every emotion shows up uninvited," Jessica wrote in the caption.

She added that recovery and adjustment don't always happen in a straight line, reminding fellow mothers to be kind to themselves during the process.

"Healing isn't linear. Becoming a mother changes you forever softly, loudly, beautifully, painfully. If you're in this season, Give yourself time, give yourself grace, she said.

Jessica announced her pregnancy during her "America's Got Talent" audition, where she was given the Golden Buzzer by Sofia Vergara.

She welcomed her daughter, Eliana Mae Gallardo, in October. Jessica released the single "Two Lines" about her pregnancy.
