00:00 Holly Bailey is opening up and sharing her experience with postpartum depression.
00:05 Since giving birth to her son back in January of 2023, actress and singer Holly Bailey has gushed over how much she loves being a mom.
00:14 Bailey has been very careful about showing her son to the public as she explained at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards, sharing,
00:21 "There was no way in I was going to share the biggest joy of my world with anyone.
00:26 Halo was my gift. He is the greatest blessing and I had no obligation to expose him, me, or my family to that unyielding spotlight."
00:35 And since then, Bailey and her boyfriend/rapper DDG have kept their son Halo out of the spotlight.
00:41 But now Bailey is sharing a bit more about her pregnancy.
00:44 In a recent Snapchat video, Bailey opened up about her struggles with postpartum depression, sharing,
00:50 "I have severe, severe postpartum. It's really bad. It's hard for me to be separated from my baby for more than 30 minutes at a time before I start to freak out.
00:59 The only thing that's been hard for me is feeling normal in my own body. It's crazy. I feel like a completely different person. I don't know who I am."
01:07 Bailey added that DDG has been "nothing but supportive and present" for both her and their son, and she's hoping to help in breaking the stigma in talking about postpartum.
