The 43 year-old welcomed son Jasper last October after resigning herself to the notion that she would never be able to conceive.
Now, with a new fiancé and her miracle baby, the star admits to still experiencing difficulties with her mental health in recent months.
Alongside a snap of her smiling with the tot, the new mum wrote: "I want to talk a bit about mental health in pregnancy/new mums. We are currently in the month 4 sleep regression.. a couple of weeks and we should be out of it, but my god it's been tough. And I have definitely struggled mentally.
"My god I love him! He's such a happy baby.. he's funny! he doesn't cry often.. he's as good as gold when we take him somewhere. but at night? It's like I gave birth to the Tasmanian devil!
"Last night was amazing. I got 4 solid hours.. a quick dream feed then a couple more.. and so on.
"Saturday night was horrendous. There was a lot of tears mainly from me. I'm shattered. Exhausted actually.."
While the lack of sleep has pushed her to breaking point, Hayley said she wants other mothers to know they are not alone.
She continued: "For the single parents, for the mums who think, what am I doing wrong? Why every time I put him back in his crib does he just wake up?
"You pick them up, you start again, you put them down, you get 40 mins and then they wake up again. And then .. maybe like me.. they end up in bed with you!"
Hayley hopes her brutal honesty will help spark a conversation about those vulnerable early months of parenthood.
She added: "There needs to be more honesty where pregnancy and motherhood are concerned...it's ok to ask for help.. it's ok to admit you struggle at times.. you do NOT need to pretend you're ok when you're not.
"If your mental health is suffering.. tell someone. Try and get out and meet other mums if you can.
"By me writing all this down, it helps me too.. we must support each other. It's so important. And please…remember to go easy on yourself. you're doing a brilliant job."
