Jess with her "funny and cute" son Presley
After welcoming her baby boy Presley last May, Jess Wright has been candid about struggling with her mental health, heartbreakingly revealing she felt like she didn't want to be here.
But now, the former TOWIE star says she feels much better and is loving being a mum.
She tells new, "I think I had postnatal depression the first month, then it suddenly lifted and I was fine. I think it was an imbalance of hormones, I feel a lot better now."
She adds, "Presley wasn't very well for the first few months, suffering with reflux, a cow's milk allergy and bad constipation. We're still sorting that out now. It's not been easy, it's been quite a journey, but I'm enjoying being a mum a lot more now."
Jess recently returned from her first family holiday with her husband, businessman William Lee-Kemp, and eight-month-old Presley. She said it was lovely to spend some quality time together in Barbados - but admits the flight home was stressful with a baby.
Jess reveals, "He was good on the way out there, but was a bit unsettled on the way home. That was tough as it was a night flight. I wouldn't overly recommend a long-haul flight with a newborn. It was a long time but we got through it.
"My tips would be take the right toys, enough bottles, something warm for them to sleep in and a few changes of clothing and nappies - and a large glass of Sauvignon Blanc for the parents!" Here, the 37-year-old talks about "naughty" and "cheeky" Presley, why her younger brother Mark is a devoted uncle and how she's adapted to the changes in her body since having a child...
Hi, Jess! How is motherhood going at the moment?
