Toni Gonzaga Opens Up About Suffering From Postpartum Depression

By Jacqueline Ariason February 7, 2017

Toni Gonzaga revealed in a talk show that she suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth to baby Seve.

In an interview with Magandang Buhay, Toni, who was also joined by Alex Gonzaga, recounts that she felt insecure of her sister’s body since she gained 36 pounds during her pregnancy. “Siya talaga reason ng postpartum ko,” (She’s really the reason of my postpartum depression) she says.

Alex then joked that Toni was being “OA” (over-acting) about it. “Sabi niya: ‘Tingnan mo ‘yung katawan mo, pang-dalaga. ‘Yung akin, wala na, pang-nanay na.’ Ang OA talaga! Sabi ko: ‘Talaga namang nanay ka.'” (She said: ‘Look at your body, it’s young-looking. I already have a mom body.’ She was over-acting! I told her: ‘You’re really a mom’) Alex says.

The exchange continued as Toni told the hosts that Alex would constantly make fun of her appearance like having dark circles under her eyes and her skin discolorations.

Although this sounds like lighthearted sisterly banter, we should always remember that postpartum depression is a serious condition which affects 10 to 20 percent of women. Remember to take into consideration the feelings of people, especially new moms, who are having a difficult time.
