Una Healy has revealed that she suffered with postnatal depression following the birth of her son Tadhg in 2015.
The singer made the confession as she has teamed up with Tommy's, a charity that funds research into miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth; and the organisation Water Babies to raise awareness.
Discussing her diagnosis, the 35-year-old explained: "When I had Tadhg, I had a touch of PND; something I didn't experience when Aoife was born.
"It was a lonely time and I wasn't helping the situation. I was moving to a new house, Ben had suffered an injury at work and I also jumped back into work quicker than I did when I had Aoife.
"I thought I would be fine, and could do it all because I'd had a child before. I had the support of my own mum and all my family, but I was putting so much pressure on myself to be a good mum, and started to feel and alone and withdrawn."
She continued: "All this added up, and finally I went to my GP who diagnosed post-natal depression. I was offered medication but having tried both, preferred the cognitive therapy route.
"Talking, whether to my GP or to friends and other new mums, was so helpful for me."
Following four years of dating, Healy tied the knot with rugby player Ben Foden in June 2012 in Ireland. Their first child, a daughter called Aoife, was born in March 2012. The couple's son, Tadhg, was born in February 2015.
