At the microphone of Bernard Montiel on RFM, the singer describes the feeling of power that this new motherhood makes her feel: “I've never slept so little but I feel like I can do anything. I always find the strength to do things.“
Asked about what she felt after her birth, she also confided: “I obviously had a moment where I found it very difficult to manage my emotions because I was both the happiest woman in the world and I had a fairly inexplicable form of sadness.“In La Provence, she also opened up about the pregnancy that was not”a candy pink experience“.
“We’re supposed to be nothing but happiness.”
She continues, “there is more talk around all of this, we talk about it a lot more, we have better support from a medical point of view. But there is always a guilt in feeling this sadness at this time in your life. In fairy tales, on Instagram, it doesn't happen like that. We're supposed to just be nothing but happiness, smiles and instantly falling in love with our offspring, the reality is that's not the case for everyone and that's ok.”
