Lamiez Holworthy bravely shares her postpartum struggles on social media, shedding light on her challenges since becoming a new mom.
In a heartfelt post, she reveals that she woke up missing her baby bump, a feeling many mothers can relate to.
Lamiez and Khuli Chana welcomed their first child earlier this year, but Lamiez admits she is still grappling with some of the “less pleasant changes” that accompanied her pregnancy. One of the main issues she mentions is hyperpigmentation, which has left her “neck, underarms, and inner thighs” noticeably darker than the rest of her body.
Lamiez recently shared her experience of dealing with “mom guilt” upon her return to work, after having to leave her son, Leano, behind.
“First week fully back at work and I can’t explain all the emotions I’ve gone through. From the mommy guilt that comes with leaving your little one behind, to the hunger that comes with wanting to go extra harder just for him.
“Then there’s your body, having to adapt or learn to push through the crazy hours all over again, and still give every gig your all.
I then look at all the love I’ve received at each and every one and it makes it all a little easier. It reminds me of the genuine love and support that I have, not only at home but at gigs too, and that alone is enough to carry me.”
