“I’ll never forget it, it’s like it was yesterday – I’m sweating, just thinking about it. I was holding Barry, my newborn, and he was crying and crying,” she says. “My husband was with our toddler, Riley, putting him to bed, so I was alone with Barry and he would not stop crying and then I was crying.”

Trainor goes on to say that she realized she needed help, and told her husbandDaryl Sabarathat she needed to get in contact with a doctor. She says she wants to be open about her experience so other moms know they’re not alone.

“Having a kid is the hardest thing. When I talk to other moms about it, I’m like, ‘Isn’t this traumatic and crazy?’ And we’re expected to walk around like we’re fine,” she writes.

“That’s why I want to share my own experience — to show other moms that they’re not alone, and also to encourage them to ask for help and seek support. That means being honest about my own support system.”
