In acandid Instagram poston March 22, Grimes-Beech opened up about experiencing prenatal depression during the first trimester of both of her pregnancies.
“Before having it the first time, I had never even heard the term prenatal depression,” she wrote alongside a nine-minute video on the topic. “I thought I was crazy, completely unequipped to be a mother and frankly, a big piece of s— for feeling anything other than pure bliss over the miracle I was housing in my body. While it’s widely acknowledged that the hormonal transition postpartum can affect one’s mental well being greatly, there seems to be a total disregard for how the hormonal transition that takes place to create new life may affect one mentally as well.”
She continued to say that she saw a therapist who specialized and prenatal and postpartum depression. The “[gray] cloud slowly started to lift,” she said, after she sought help. “I hope sharing my story can start to lift that cloud for someone else,” she wrote, adding, “Please seek the help you deserve. No one should struggle with their mental health alone.”
Grimes-Beechtold PEOPLE in May that she was “bracing” herselffor the newborn phase all over again, this time with a toddler “in the equation.” She said, “I do feel mentally the strongest I’ve ever been in my life. I’m feeling ready and eager to tackle whatever’s to come.”
