Parenting is not an easy task as it is not cast in stone how a parent should raise a child. New born babies have a tendency of showing parents flames but if you're a first time mom, you will need all the help you can get. Media personality Zola Ayabulela Mhlongo, has opened up about post partum depression, saying parenting is not easy.
Zola ZeeLovin, as she is affectionately known as, became a mom for the first time on October 20, 2021 with her boyfriend Prince Kaybee. They kept their relationship on the low after the whole cheating and nudes scandal which made many people assume Zola had left Prince Kaybee.
But that wasn't the case now she gave birth to his second child and is taking things slow. She recently opened up about how the journey has been like for her saying it is not easy. "I promised myself a self-care journey after giving birth, simply because the journey of parenting is not easy and you forget about yourself so easily," she wrote.
"Postpartum depression is real with all the life changes a mother goes through, and let me not even start with the waves of exhaustion I've been experiencing. So I am actively going to fetch my life."
Prince Kaybee on the other hand is also in his feels after introducing a new born baby too. He said babies take away all the attention. DJ Zinhle can agree to that as well!
When she announced the birth of her baby, she shared the initials MMM, not revealing whose last name the baby took. She is a Mhlongo and Prince Kaybee is a Motsamai.
She had started her snap back journey by wearing body shapers from Undefined Shapes shortly after welcoming her baby, and was also back at it by hosting the inaugural Amapiano Awards.
On her IG stories, Zola then shared how her experience with pumping breast milk has been like. Zola wrote, "I'm so proud of myself. Expressing has not been easy, quiet frankly it has been so sore and so frustrating at times. But I've been taking it a day at a time, and there is a lot of progress," she said.
Announcing her pregnancy in October, Zola expressed excitement with being a new mom "My Greatest Gift. God has awarded me the opportunity to move into the next phase of my life. I AM A YUMMY MUMMY. Being your mother has been the most sacred duty I have ever taken on. My child you are the epitome of love. We haven't even met you yet but you have already changed so much in our lives. For that we are truly blessed...We cannot wait to meet you. Your every kick ignites a wealth of love and joy in my heart. God is faithful."
Prince had admitted to cheating on her when Hazel exposed his nudes. He then apologised to her and his mother. People thought they had broken up but he told TshisaLive that "she's not going anywhere."
