PMDD After Childbirth: Hailey Bieber Reveals She Struggled After Giving Birth to Her Son
Bieber Shares Her Experience
Hailey Bieber said she struggled with PMDD after the birth of her son with Justin Bieber, Jack Blues, who is 2. She spoke about the experience with Women’s Wear Daily.
Bieber said there is limited conversation and research about the condition. She also described pregnancy, childbirth and the path to having a child as an intense and special journey.
What PMDD Can Involve
The Cleveland Clinic describes PMDD as a more severe form of premenstrual syndrome. Symptoms can occur during the week or two before a period. Possible effects include irritability, anxiety, depression, trouble concentrating, fatigue, changes in appetite, headaches, insomnia and mood swings. The clinic says treatment helps most people with PMDD find relief; mental health support or support groups may also help.
Why Conversation Matters
Bieber said talking about personal struggles helps her feel less isolated. She believes people can find connection by identifying with one another and discussing what they are going through.
She linked that openness to the experience of becoming a parent, noting that many changes can occur during pregnancy and childbirth. The Cleveland Clinic says most people do not have PMDD symptoms after menopause.
