She has since been open about her mental health struggles during her pregnancy.
In a lengthy Instagram post on October 8, the brunette described the pregnancy as a rollercoaster and admitted that she “don’t even recognize herself anymore” in photos.
‘Every preconceived emotion I had during pregnancy, I experienced the opposite. “I really thank God it’s almost over,” she wrote.

‘I feel so many emotions when I think about it… Happiness about what’s to come, yet resentment about how hard I’ve been on myself. Excitement to meet her, yet sadness at the thought of how difficult it has been to make this miracle happen,” she continued.
‘Joy of becoming a mother, but fear of recovery after childbirth. I am so grateful to have been blessed to carry this baby during this eight-month (soon to be nine!) period.”
Courtney said she was proud of how strong she had been during her pregnancy, and felt “honored” to become a mother.
She concluded her post with some advice for others struggling with pregnancy and mental health.
‘My advice: no matter how your journey goes, be kind and patient with yourself. It may be easy, it may be the hardest journey you have ever experienced, but how lucky we are to be able to bring life into this world. That’s epic!’
