In the post, Ishita revealed the difficulties and challenges she faced after her pregnancy and how she managed to navigate the changes her body was going through.

Taking to Instagram, Ishita shared a reel where she was seen sharing her own experience with postpartum depression. Sharing the post Ishita wrote, “Postpartum depression is real. The first time, it broke me. The second time, awareness and support made all the difference. To every mom going through it, you are not alone." 

"I Can't Even Tell You How Painful That Is..."

She began the video by saying, “Postpartum depression: the first time it hit me so hard I would cry all the time without even knowing why. Hormones all over the place, your body goes through so much physical pain, breast engorgement – I can't even tell you how painful that is." She further explained, “Feeding every two hours, and if you have a colicky baby, probably no sleep at all. The second time around it was different – better in so many ways."

Ishita also took a moment to mention that, amid all this, she did not even get the time to realize what was happening to her body and mind. “I think, honestly, I was so busy with Vayu that I barely got the time to even register what was happening," she recalled. “But the biggest difference was I had the best support system, a schedule that allowed me to rest, and the awareness of what my body and my mind were going through. So, if you are going through postpartum depression, know this: it's real, it's valid, and you're not alone," she concluded.
