Ileana D’Cruz embarked on the journey of motherhood last year after she welcomed her son Koa Phoenix Dolan. Ever since the actress delivered the baby boy, she has been sharing intriguing anecdotes about motherhood and her precious moments with her munchkin on her Instagram handle. However today, the actress penned a long note on dealing with portpartum depression.
Sharing a selfie of herself, Ileana wrote, “Hi …It’s been a while since I’ve really taken a photo of myself or posted something on here…Between being a full time mama and keeping house, I don’t seem to find time for myself. I’m mostly in pjs and a messy unattractive mom bun to keep my hair away from my munchkin’s little grabby hands and so the thought of pouting for a selfie just doesn’t really cross my mind haha.”
She further added, “Truth is it’s been incredibly tough some days. Being sleep deprived doesn’t help lol, Definitely not trying to come across as complaining because this darling child has been the most beautiful thing to happen to me. But we just don’t talk about postpartum depression enough. It’s very real. And it’s an incredibly alienating feeling.”
The actress then went on to explain, how she is managing to take out time for herself and indulging in workouts and physical fitness. “And I’m trying every day to work on making some time to get myself feeling better. A 30min workout and 5 min shower post that works wonders really. But sometimes I can’t manage that. So what I’m trying to say is I’m working on coming back here and giving you a glimpse into my new life now. Which I love btw- there’s so many amazing things that have happened to me and it’s been an emotional overwhelming journey.”
On a closing note she added, “I just haven’t been one of those moms who’ve “bounced back” immediately. I’m being kinder on myself and my body and getting to a stronger healthy me at my own pace. But I’m coming back ☺️ That’s all. Thanks for sticking around and reading ♥️.”
Ileana embraced motherhood last year as she welcomed her son Koa Phoenix Dolan into the world on August 1. Koa is the son of Ileana and her partner Michael Dolan. Announcing the same, she had dropped a joyous post on her Instagram handle in which she wrote, “There are no words to express how overjoyed we are to welcome our sweet boy into the world. Our hearts are beyond full.”
Meanwhile, Ileana D’Cruz took a break from acting to prioritise her baby. Her last on-screen appearance was in The Big Bull, headlined by Abhishek Bachchan. The film was co-produced by Ajay Devgn. She recently completed shooting for the social comedy film Unfair and Lovely, in which she will be featuring alongside Randeep Hooda.
