Vivek Dahiya opens up about his wife, Divyanka Tripathi's postpartum depression and her recovery from it

In a recent interview with Pinkvilla’s Hindi Rush, Divyanka Tripathi’s husband, Vivek Dahiya, got candid about her postpartum depression. He stated that postpartum depression is very real. Vivek explained that mothers go through several hormonal and physical changes after giving birth. He shared that one of the biggest challenges that moms go through is coming to terms with the changes in their bodies. He added that his wife Divyanka also lost her core strength after giving birth to twins. He was quoted as saying:

"Postpartum depression is real. Because, you know, there are so many changes. There are hormonal changes. The mother starts realising, 'My body is no longer the body I had before.' You know, 'I now have to live with this.' And it is very difficult. Suddenly, it feels like jelly here. The core that you had is suddenly not there at all."

Vivek revealed that earlier Divyanka used to work out a lot. However, things changed after she became a mom. The changes are all because of postpartum depression. He said, "You can’t even imagine life without your core, especially if you are someone who works out a lot. Your core is involved in everything. So suddenly, your core strength is gone." In the same interview, Vivek mentioned that the postpartum recovery phase is very uncertain and also pointed out how motherhood changes a woman.

Vivek explained that after a woman embraces motherhood, everything around her is about her newborn baby. He stated that a lot of things change around a woman after she gives birth. He said: 

"On top of that, you have this jelly-like stomach. And you don’t know how you will get back, how you will bounce back, how long it will take. And your daily activity is just around feeding, feeding, feeding, feeding, feeding."

Further, in the interview, Vivek admitted that postpartum depression is very difficult and the recovery is more challenging. He then revealed how he has been helping his wife, Divyanka, during this difficult phase. Vivek explained that he doesn’t have any unique hacks but believes that being a constant support, being present and providing emotional support could make a difference.

Vivek also spoke about sharing responsibilities while caring for their babies. Explaining it further, Vivek said that when Divyanka pumps milk for the babies, he feeds the babies with a bottle. Vivek added:

"I don’t have any unique hacks, but I can tell you what I read and what I brought into practice. One thing is being present. In the scene, I’m always there. Many times, you just need emotional support. Even if you just stand there on the side like this… That’s enough. Obviously, I do much more than that. For example, if she is expressing milk, then I feed the baby with the bottle. One thing is that your wife will feel, 'Yes, he is also contributing.'"
