At 35 weeks, Claire shared an honest update on how her pregnancy was going and what she was feeling, especially whilst being pregnant during a global pandemic.
She wrote, '35 WEEKS. I’m excited to meet this little girl but I’m SO anxious about losing it again. The recovery, sleep deprivation, feedings, 2 kids 17 months apart, a pandemic... It’s a lot.
She added, 'I know how lucky I am and I know each stage is temporary, but I’m still feeling stressed about how I’ll cope mentally. I think it’s important to share that I have always had help.
'I never want to pretend that I do it on my own (I am completely in awe of women who do). That being said, I still felt overwhelmed, embarrassed/guilty that I was struggling, and not at all like myself after I gave birth.'
Congratulations to Claire Holt and Andrew Joblon on the new baby!
