I know of a Mum who went to counselling during her 2nd pregnancy after suffering depression both before and after the birth of her first child – a baby boy.

I think it’s really helpful that well known women are so open about struggling.

Well done to being open, honest and raw about what can happen after pregnancy. We are all human and have highs and lows. Thanks for shedding light on a real mental health issue that affects many women.

It’s very common, but still difficult to talk about.

Good on her for being honest. It will help lots of other mothers.

I wish her and her family all the very best. Love watching her back on the tennis court too.

Good on her for getting the conversation out there, there needs to be more public figures talking about real issues.

Beautiful sharing by Serena. I think there are many women out there who can relate to her story.

Such a strong and powerful woman and even more so for sharing her story and her struggle.

  The photos are beautiful and the cover shots are full of energy and woman power!

It sounds like such a terrible condition. One that’s hard to admit to because you want to be a great parent but all you feel is failure

So good of her to open up about the difficulties she faced. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.
And I wish her that her second baby will be a girl as she wants. 🙂

It’s so great when celebrities share their real mum problems with their fans.

  Yes it is, it’s common and nothing to be ashamed of.

Go Serena! You’re a champion and what a beautiful baby girl.
