Ileana D’Cruz speaks about postpartum depression and sleep deprivation
Ileana D’Cruz took to Instagram and wrote, ‘Hello… It’s been a while since I’ve actually taken a photo of myself or posted anything here… Between being a full-time mom and doing housework, it seems that I can’t find time for myself. I usually wear pajamas and a messy, unattractive mom bun to keep my hair away from my munchkin’s little grabby hands and so the thought of pouting for a selfie just doesn’t really occur to me haha. The truth is that some days it was incredibly hard. Lack of sleep doesn’t help lol (sic).”
Ileana further added: “I’m definitely not trying to sound complaining, because this sweet child is the most beautiful thing that has happened to me. But we just don’t talk about postpartum depression enough. It’s very real. And it’s an incredibly alienating feeling. And I try to work every day to take some time to make myself feel better. A 30 minute workout and a 5 minute shower that really works wonders. But sometimes that doesn’t work (sic).”

Elaborating on her post, Ileana wrote: “So what I’m trying to say is that I’m working on getting back here and giving you guys a glimpse into my new life now. What I love, by the way: There are so many amazing things that have happened to me and it has been an emotional, overwhelming journey. I just haven’t been one of those moms who immediately “bounced back.” I am kinder to myself and my body and achieve a stronger, healthier me at my own pace. But I’ll be back. That’s all. Thanks for sticking around and reading (sic).” The diva ended her long descriptive caption.
Because the unknown Ileana D’Cruz is mother of her son Koa Phoenix Dolan. He was welcomed into the world last August, and later Ileana decided to show off her baby boy by sharing an adorable photo of him on Instagram.
