Behati Prinsloo wants other young mothers to remember how important it is to ask for support when navigating the roller coaster of emotions that often follow welcoming a child for the first time. In a new post for Today.com, the model reflects on the differences in her outlook on life since she and her husband, Adam Levine, welcomed their daughters, Dusty, 2, and Gio, 1 . “Being a mom has changed me in many ways. I had moments of postpartum (depression) after our first baby that I felt like it was coming through. But my husband was so incredibly supportive and always got me out of it,” she says. “I think it’s very normal, though, as a young mom and a new mom to feel helpless and to feel over emotional, you know.” Behati also admits that she “got lucky not to have it to an extreme case,” but says she still knew she was off. “You see yourself spiraling,” she explains. “I think that the message is just that it’s never too little to get help or to ask for help. So, no matter how small your feelings and stress—or whatever it is about being a new mom—there’s always help out there and support from family and friends and I think nobody judges anyone.”
