Stacey Solomon has opened up about her postnatal depression battle which she experienced after welcoming her first son 12 years ago.
The proud mum-of-three, 30, had her first son Zach when she was just 18 and after giving birth, Stacey went through quite a hard time.
The Loose Women star has admitted that she’s still wracked with “tremendous guilt” over “not loving” her son enough when he arrived into the world.
Opening up about motherhood, Stacey told Mad World podcast: “I have moments with Zachy where I think ‘Oh, I wish I loved you from the very minute.
“Not that I didn’t, I’m sure I did, I just didn’t feel it, and I didn’t get it. And it brings me tremendous guilt.”

During the candid chat, the bubbly star also spoke out about the stigma against teenage mums.
Stacey recalled being “looked down on” and being thrown dirty looks by some members of her community due to the fact she was a teenage mum.
“I will always be a teenage mum from Dagenham. I was the girl on the bus with a baby and everyone was tutting at me – because I looked like a baby with a baby,” she confessed.
“I had a baby really young and everyone said my life was over and I’d never be a success.”
