Model Chrissy Teigen believes people should be more open about postpartum depression as there were times when she got "super dark" after giving birth to her daughter Luna.
The 30-year-old star has revealed that she was "slightly cursed" by having a "great pregnancy" because she experienced a sudden dip in her mood afterwards, Femalefirst.
"I think a lot of the mood stuff that happens afterwards isn't really talked about, whether it's postpartum depression or really just, for me, some days, I wouldn't know how to cope with work and juggle things and still have time for a husband life.
"And that was really tough for me, and I think just the mere act of losing those endorphins, I think I was slightly cursed by having such a great pregnancy and being so happy and having so much energy, that just the decline of all those endorphins, and all the prenatals and everything I was on and how healthy I was, naturally made my mood change. There were periods where you get super dark."
Teigen thinks mothers have unrealistic expectations about getting back into shape.
"Anyone in the public eye, we have all the help we could ever need to be able to shed everything.
"So, I think people get this jaded sensation that everybody's losing it so quickly, but we just happen to be the ones who are out there.
