I hope this honest postpartum talk helps you in some way if you are also struggling after having a baby or experiencing postpartum depression. I am always here if you ever want to talk and I completely get it. It doesn't make you a bad mum and it won't always be this way. These are the things that have helped me recently 'glow up' after having a baby.

I realized something is off with me when I lost interest in makeup after my son was born.
I used to love makeup and watched beauty vloggers all the time.
After having a baby I couldn't care less.
I slowly got back into makeup when my son was around 1,5-2 years old.
Thank you for this video Kay, this is what us mums need on the internet ❤
Hi Kata, I completely relate to this!!! I feel like we have had a similar time frame after having our babies to feeling a bit better too. Maybe its hormonal? So glad you are getting back into your passions. You are amazing thank you so much for your kind words and for watching xxx
This is exactly how I felt aslo. I went from "that girl" to being 300 lbs, stretchy stomach, gym is not even an option anymore... so nice to have someone to relate to while I find my way back to loving myself and my life
I absolutely love you ♥️ from a fellow mum of 2 (32 weeks pregnant with my third) your videos are like therapy xxx
This video was like a warm hug, I've got a 10 month old and it was just so reassuring to hear it will get better. You seem like the loveliest person ❤️
Hi girl, thank you so much for taking the time to watch and huge congratulations on your baby. I felt like an alien at 10 months pp and I completely get it. I hope you are doing okay, it WILL get better and you will feel semi normal again. Lots of love to you both xx
This is the best advice I’ve heard from another mom. I also suffer with depression and anxiety and the first whole year of my daughters life and I felt the same way you do! It’s hard when you don’t have the support you need around you. You are so beautiful in and out Kay, you’ve come so far! So proud of you 🥹❤️❤️
Hi Silvana, this is the best message to read thank you for being such a kind soul and for taking the time to write this for me ❤ I am so sorry to hear you have also suffered with depression and anxiety after your baby and I really hope things get better for you soon. You are literally radiating kindness and positivity thank you for being such a genuine person. So much love to you, you deserve the world x

So nice to hear you've come out the other side Kay and can share your wisdom and advice to others. Some great tips which you can apply to everyday life what ever you might be going through. A great quote popped up as soon as Id watched your video saying that everything in time heals, your mind your body whatever it is and that bad times dont last. Have a good week : ) ❤
Hi Wendy, this is so beautiful!!!!!! thank you so much for sharing and for taking time to watch as always!!! Your comments mean a lot thank you xxx
Thank you for this! I recently found your channel and your videos are getting me through the thick of post partum with my 4 month old & 22 month old sons
Hi Shanice! No thank you for watching!!! This truly means the world, I hope you are recovering and feeling good. How are you finding the 2 under 2? I hope you are okay, you are super woman!!! Lots of love xxxx
You will have helped so many people with this video. Thank you 😊
Awwww I hope so!!!!! Thank you for watching xxxx
Love love love this video! I can relate still and my daughter is 3 and when you feel so tired and like you've lost yourself along the way of motherhood, it can be soooo hard/ exhaust just doing anything. This has really cheered me up and made me want to put myself first for a change. Xxxx
Hi Charlene!!!! Amari is 3 and it is HARD WORK with toddlers haha. I completely relate, I think making yourself a priority too and truly being selfish with it to schedule time and make sure you stick to it gives a better balance and makes you feel more human. It's amazing for you and for your kids. You are doing such a great job and thank you for watching and the kind comment. You go girl xxx
I could sit and listen to you all day❤️. I’m a new Mummy and it’s so lovely to have you on this journey too! Xx
Awww congratulations Melissa on your baby!!! I hope you are feeling okay and doing well, lots of love from my family to yours!!! 💕💕💕 this means so much thank you xxxxx
Omg I’ve recently started getting up before my baby now she’s started sleeping longer and I feel so much better, getting up and going straight into mum mode makes the day so much harder! Love this video you’re so lovely and give such good advice! Needed to here this today💕Xx

This is what I needed to hear. Smack bang in the middle of a really difficult stage full of depression and anxiety. 18 month old with #2 on the way, and this video on is giving me hope that it will be okay again one day. In the meantime, going to blast some music and have a declutter today. Thank you as always!
Hi Mischa, girl!!!!!!!! Pregnancy with a toddler will have you EXHAUSTED and so run down. You are doing a fantastic job and should be beyond proud of yourself. I know you have said you are struggling with depression and anxiety and I just hope you know how amazing you are and what a strong mama you are too. It will get better and there are so many incredible times ahead for you. Good luck with your 2nd baby, if you ever need to talk just message me!! I hope your pregnancy is going well. And thank you so much for watching for real xxx
Thank you for this ❤
Thank you sister, I needed to hear this, great ideas on how to get back to myself. Ftm to a 13 wk old girl, I don't want to be my old self I want to be my best self, and you've given me great advice 💚🙏🌷much love ! Bless you !
hi lovely, thanks so much for watching and I'm sorry it's taken me a while to get back to this comment I don't want you to think I don't care and ignored it!! - congratulations on your baby girl, I hope you guys are doing okay :) so much love to you both and take care - i love this so much ' i don't want to be my old self I want to be my best self' SO true xxx
Thank you these tips are amazing. I hate cluttered house too so will definitely try this. Outdoors is so important and defiantly helped me through the rough days. Thank you your inspiration 😊
Hi Alice!!! I found it hard to part ways with 'stuff' and tried doing 10 items at a time start off small but gradually I got better and now its so much easier to maintain than before. (My house still goes into a wild pig sty with toys and snacks everywhere) but its more like organised chaos now haha, I agree about the fresh air thing too xxxx
Thank you. I feel like I do have a lot of stuff I don't need or lots of things that I just need to use. I was thinking of going through my wardrobe. Clothes is a big one. It's so hard finding the time with a lil one. How did you do it?
Thankyou so much for this❤️ I have an 8 month old and struggling with feeling like I’ve completely lost myself! This has given me the motivation to try and make some small changes❤️
Awwww girl!!!! I relate to this. It changes your whole world and it's a journey to find the new normal, you will get there!! You are incredible and its just small steps and it does get easier. Lots of love to you, I hope you feel more like yourself again soon xxx
This was a really informative video for people struggling. I’ll be a new mum this week and have no idea what to expect. Feeling terrible at the moment, loaded with the cold 😢 not what i want before a planned c section!
You look fab, loving the hair and that colour of top really suits you!
Hi Pamela!!! Ahhhhh baby week!!!! I hope you feel better soon bless you - I am SO excited for you!!! Please let me know how you get on once you are ready/recovered! Huge congratulations mama you have the best moments of your life ahead. And you are too sweet thank you so much!! Good luck xxxxx

awwww thanks so much for watching my love, that means so much xxx
I'm 21 with a 1.5 year old and a 3month old. I was starting to feel myself then I became pregnant. I have felt this since my first. I'm in the middle of no where not near family. Your videos help me so much.
Kay 😍 honestly this video has helped me SO much. I have a 20month daughter and my son has just turned 3, love them to pieces but it’s a lot 😅 you’ve really inspired me to get back to me, I used to really enjoy getting ready and doing hair make etc/listening to music and I just don’t do it anymore, you’ve really motivated me to try and make them part of my day to day routine. P.S you look stunning in this video. Xxx

It's not easy but it will get better with the right support. Lots of love xxx
Thank you x
Where is your gorgeous new gym top from? I got the lulu lemon define jacket, and I obsessed it made me feel so much more confident tgan a baggy hoody ❤
It's from a brand called 'glow mode' I ordered loads more colours. The fabric is VERY similar!!! It's slightly more cropped than the lulu. The lulu one is elite. Omg YAY did you get it for your birthday in the end?!?! Go mama!!!! It makes you feel soooooo confident doesn't it!!? I feel so much more womanly as it hugs your curves and I don't feel as baggy and slouchy if that makes any sense at all?!! So glad you love it xxx
@Thats_So_Kay this colour looks fab on you 😍 Thank you, I will definitely check them out! I have been living in my Lulu lemon jacket, so I definitely need some more options! I love it, though, even though it's only sports wear it makes you feel so much more put together xxx
Well done 👏🏻 but please tell me what you asked for when you got your hair cut your hair looks amazing is it a feather cut or layers? XxRuby
hi lovely!! Thank you so much :) I ask for a full set of baby lights with 90s style layers cut in with front pieces 🥰🥰🥰 hope this helps!! pinterest is amazing for inspo xxx
🤗🤗🤗
🥰🥰🥰🥰 thanks so much girl
Where are you from in England? Love your accent ❤
Hi 🥰 Nottingham!!! Thank you xxx
Where is your gym top from please? Been looking for long thumb hole tops that arent black.
Oh, and you are a Staceys Mum!
OMG this comment made me laugh hahahaha Kirsty!!!!!!! THANK YOU hahahaha. Made my day. Put that on my gravestone. It's from a brand called glow mode!! love it so much lululemon dupe xxx
I really needed to hear this🤍
Hi Shannon, this means a lot to me that it can be some kind of comfort to you. I hope it has helped in some way for you. I hope you are doing okay. Lots of love xx
Thankyou for this I really needed it, been struggling with anxiety so bad now that my baby is 6 months old feels like my body isn’t mine and constantly feel like I’m not here it’s an awful feeling 🤍
Hi Marie, If you ever need to talk honestly please just message me!!! I feel you and understand how you are feeling. 6 months can feel like a lifetime especially when it is such a huge change to your life in a short amount of time. I promise you 6 months is still so fresh and you have so much time for growth. It takes your body nearly 2 years to recover and your mind can take longer, especially emotionally. You are a new mum and its bloody hard work, you have done the most intense, selfless and loving thing by bringing a baby into the world and caring for someone who can't do anything for themselves. It's NOT easy and your LO is so lucky to have a mum who cares so much and does her best. I relate to a lot of what you said and I hope you feel more like yourself again soon. Slow and steady wins the race. You've got this 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
@@Thats_So_Kay Thankyou so much that means so much 🤍🤍
