Healing didn\u2019t feel difficult at all. I was excited, motivated, ready to do anything,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>However, the experience soon shifted, catching her off guard. Natasha shared that she found herself overwhelmed by intense emotions, breaking down in a way she hadn\u2019t anticipated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cried for two days NON-STOP. (never knew so many tears could be cried\ud83d\ude02 I could do my salt-sits in them, hahahaha) Enrico was so concerned. And then you get a few good days\u2026 even great days\u2026 and then the days where you sit there wondering, how did we ever think we were ready to be parents? \ud83d\ude02\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the raw honesty of her post, Natasha made it clear in the comments that she was not seeking sympathy but rather hoping to normalise conversations around postpartum experiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis post isn\u2019t for pity! Promise, I\u2019m feeling great now! But wanted to share for any other momma going to experience this or are going through it!\u2764\ufe0f\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DWmEMYPiHRM\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Natasha #Joubert #opens #postpartum #struggles #welcoming #baby<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Natasha Joubert Former Miss South Africa Natasha Joubert has left many emotional after candidly sharing her experience with postpartum&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54764,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54763"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54763\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54765,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54763\/revisions\/54765"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
