DANI Dyer has revealed she feared she would get postnatal depression when she felt low following the birth of her son Santiago.
Talking on the podcast she runs with her dad Danny, Sorted with the Dyers, the new mum admitted motherhood during lockdown hasn’t been easy.
“This has been a f***ing long, cold, hard winter this one,” Danny said.
“And even if you’re the strongest cat out there then you’re struggling now.”
“It’s been awful,” Dani agreed.
“The other day I was really struggling, I had a couple of days where I made a shepherd’s pie but I just felt so down.
“And I think when you’ve just had a baby you really start worrying, thinking, ‘Am I suffering with a bit of postnatal depression?’
“I know this sounds weird but I made the shepherd’s pie but it was like I wasn’t making it.
“I had a couple of days of just really not feeling me and then I went on a walk and I felt back to myself. I felt so low.”
Dani previously opened up about how her first baby came as a “shock” as they didn’t “plan” the pregnancy.
Despite the surprise, the Love Island winner has been enjoying becoming a first-time mum to her now two-month-old son.
Dani added that the baby still makes her hardman dad Danny, 43, “emotional” whenever he sees him.
