Cardi B initially thought she would be able to
Cardi B isn’t sugarcoating her battle with postpartum depression. She opened up about how she experienced the condition after giving birth to her daughter Kulture.
Cardi B, 26, addressed her struggles with postpartum depression (PPD) in a feature for Harper’s Bazaar’s March issue, which was published Thursday. She revealed that the condition hit her abruptly.
« I thought I was going to avoid it, » the rapper began, « When I gave birth, the doctor told me about postpartum, and I was like, ‘Well, I’m doing good right now, I don’t think that’s going to happen.’ But out of nowhere, the world was heavy on my shoulders. »
Cardi elaborated further by explaining how she doesn’t feel fully recovered just yet, adding: « For some reason, I still don’t feel like my body’s the same. I feel like I don’t have my balance right yet. When it comes to heels, I’m not as good at walking anymore. I feel like I’m holding a weight on me. I don’t know why because I’m skinnier than I’ve ever been. But there’s an energy I haven’t gotten back yet that I had before I was pregnant.
