The influencer Virginia27, opened up about the depression she had during her firstborn’s pregnancy, Mary Alice4. The revelation was made in the first episode of the series “Mundo da Vi”, published on Instagram this Sunday (21).
In the episode, Virginia said that she became pregnant with Maria Alice “out of the blue”, and that she blamed herself because at first she said she didn’t want to experience the pregnancy.
“Virginia as a mother is a feeling of guilt, mixed with a lot of love, the desire to win. Virginia as a mother is the most sensitive part of my life, that gets me, that just talking about it makes me want to cry. It’s the best part of me”, began during the video.
“It was my dream to get married and build my family, so automatically I would have a child. When I got pregnant with Maria Alice it was very out of the blue. I started saying that I didn’t want to. I had just met Zé Felipe, and I started to blame myself, to charge myself for feeling this way. I felt like I didn’t want to but I already felt like I was a mother”, she said.
She said that her mother, Margareth Serrão, went to Goiânia to stay with her at the time, because she was living with depression and no one knew, as she continued to post normally on social media while facing the disease.
“When I found out that Maria Alice was going to come to the revelation tea, everything changed, I never thought again that I didn’t want to be a mother. It was the greatest love I’ve ever felt in the world. There are people who judge me, but only those who are mothers know the guilt we carry for sometimes going out to work and leaving them”, she added.
