Jess said, “I had a bit of postpartum depression. And the lack of sleep.’
“For me too, I’ve always had psoriasis, but it went away when I was pregnant, but now it’s back with a vengeance.
‘It’s now to the point where it’s not a return, it’s everywhere. I covered it well tonight. I didn’t know it would be this bad.’

It comes after Jess said it took her “two hours” to get ready for the day and admitted that while some days she thinks parenting is “fine,” she admits it’s not so easy on others.
She said, “It’s been one of those mornings, guys. Out the door? Well, it’s not normal, right? Let’s face it, let’s not beat around the bush. With a kid out the door and a dog, I only have one dog a minute too, add two hours to your morning.
“I’m telling you, some days it’s fine, but today wasn’t one of those days. Luckily I was okay with myself, in a good mood and the sun is shining because it could have been unlucky centrally if I hadn’t done it, but it’s all good.

“I just thought I’d come here and say how this whole picture is perfect of, ‘Oh, you know. Get up, go out with my baby in the pram, it’s all great.’ It’s the reality, let’s face it, come on.’
She added: “No one can really prepare you, she can. As many times as you hear this and that, until you go through it, yeah,” she cut off.
Jess captioned her post, “I’m very tired.”
