Sarwat Gilani talked candidly about her first experience with postpartum depression following her third pregnancy, as well as the depressing thoughts she had at the trying time.
The actor said she had a real understanding of what postpartum depression was after giving birth to her daughter Ella in December during a recent interview on Good Morning Pakistan. Gilani had to have “serious surgeries” after giving birth, so she didn’t get to meet her daughter until four days later.
The woman recalled, “I felt that I should just drop her [from my arms] because that would end all tensions when I met her [Ella] four days later and she was struggling to breastfeed.”
Gilani claimed that she eventually broke down and confided in her spouse, plastic surgeon Fahad Mirza, about she wanted to hurt the baby. Mirza told her that she was experiencing postpartum blues and that the feeling would not be permanent.
