Meghan Trainor is a pop-star/TikTok sensation, and typically, her fans only see the happy moments in her life. She shares two sons, Riley, and 17-month-old Barry, with her husband, Daryl Sabara.
And while it looks like it’s all fun and games on her TikTok channel, Trainor got personal in an essay for Today.com.
She talked about hitting a breaking point after welcoming her second baby…
I’ll never forget it, it’s like it was yesterday – I’m sweating, just thinking about it. I was holding Barry, my newborn, and he was crying and crying. My husband was with our toddler, Riley, putting him to bed, so I was alone with Barry and he would not stop crying and then I was crying.
She started to have a panic attack. For a moment, she thought she was dying.
I was just over-exhausted, but I felt like I was dying. I felt if I stood up, I would pass out. I didn’t feel safe holding the baby and at the same time I felt like my body was giving up on me.
That’s when she opened up to her husband and they decided she needed to see a doctor. Thankfully, the doctor was great and assured her a lot of new moms are going through the same thing.
Having a kid is the hardest thing. When I talk to other moms about it, I’m like, ‘Isn’t this traumatic and crazy?’ And we’re expected to walk around like we’re fine. That’s why I want to share my own experience.
Ain’t that the truth! If you’re experiencing similar feelings, don’t go through it alone. Reach out to a professional!
