Even his childbirth was not a great situation as there were some complications as she told on Today show,

While her son is healthy and doing great, she opened up about she had to go through a C-section during childbirth which affected her body.

The television personality opened up about her continuous body image struggle and the self-confidence she had to work on after she saw major physical changes following childbirth. This could also be because of the criticism she had to bore when her son slept a lot after birth, with many blaming it on her as she took the antidepressants while having him.
Even though she took the lowest medication recommended by the doctor, she was always under negative attention, which is why she needed her confidence back. Her first pregnancy journey was not a bed of roses due to her “gestational diabetes,” but it all worked out in the end the couple welcomed their son.
She shared,
“Then after my baby came out, I was like, ‘I want to live forever.’ … I was like if I can get through a C-section, I can do anything. And I just changed everything about my life. I was like, nothing scares me anymore.”
She has lost 60 pounds since she gave birth in February 2021. Not just physically but exercise has helped her mentally as well. She is now expecting her second child with her better half, Daryl Sabara.
