She has since been open about her mental health struggles during her pregnancy
‘I feel so many emotions upon reflection… Happiness for what’s to come, yet resentment to how hard I’ve been on myself. Excitement to meet her, yet sadness thinking about how tough making this miracle has been,’ she continued.
‘Joy to become a mother, yet fear about postpartum recovery. I’m so grateful that I’ve been blessed to carry this baby over this 8 month period (soon to be 9!).’
Courtney said that she was proud of how strong she had been during her pregnancy, and felt ‘honoured’ to become a mother.
She concluded her post with some advice to others struggling with pregnancy and mental health.
‘My advice, how ever your journey is, be kind and patient to yourself. It may be easy, it may be the hardest journey you’ve ever experienced, but how lucky are we to bring life in this world. That is epic!’
