The first-time mother went back to work at Metro FM and shared her emotions on social media. She revealed that she has discovered a new motivation: to work hard to support her child.
“First week fully back at work and I can’t explain all the emotions I’ve gone through- from the little mommy guilt that comes with leaving your little one behind to the hunger that comes with wanting to go extra harder just for him. Then there’s your body having to adapt or learn to push through the crazy hours all over again and still give every gig your all…”
“I then look at all the love I’ve received at each and every one and it makes it all a little easier. It reminds me of the genuine love and support that I have, not only at home but at gigs too and that alone is enough to carry me.”
“And now? Now that I have this newly found purpose, drive and hunger- I cannot wait to go even harder and still balance being a wife, a mother, a daughter, sister, friend and all the other hats that I wear but most importantly? Still being able to be MYSELF,” she added.
Lamiez recently explained how she snapped back, only a few weeks after giving birth.
"Truth is, whilst our bodies aren’t the same, what worked for me is that I worked out with @fit4twogarsfontein @fit4twosa throughout my pregnancy and went back after I gave birth.
"I work out with my son now which makes it really fun- they’re health professionals so the workouts are specially designed for pregnant women and new moms."
"I also use the belt that I was given in hospital and wore it a day after my C-section. (Please check with your doctor first). I wear mine every day and alternate between that belt and a waist trainer. Breastfeeding also helps me whilst I try to eat as healthily as possible with lots of water and boiling water with lemon after all meals.
"Most importantly, be kind and patient with yourselves mommies. Rome wasn’t built in a day. I don’t have it all figured out and need remedies to help me with the discolouration (stubborn dark areas) on my body that actually work. Thanks in advance ladies."
Lamiez said she observed how others compared her pregnancy to those of other women while she was expecting:
"So I’ve seen the comparisons, compliments, and even jokes about pregnancy and whilst I count myself very lucky because I haven’t experienced any drastic physical changes(although the abdominal pains, swollen legs, nausea, migraines, and hormones are showing me real flames) I simply don’t like the jokes attacking other pregnant women," she started off her post.
"Truth is, No one has control over how they look or even how smoothly their pregnancy goes and to be subjected to demeaning words and unnecessary verbal and emotional abuse isn’t fair," she continued.
"ANY woman who carries life is a superhero with superpowers in my opinion and should all be celebrated and embraced regardless of how they look. There is no manual to this life thing and the least we can be is kinder because take it from me - pregnancy is no walk in the park! You’re literally risking your life to carry and bring a healthy, happy and normal child in to this world. And that? That makes me admire every single mother and those carrying life," wrote the musician.
Lamiez went on to caution trolls to not involve her in slander, "DON’T ever use ME to bring down, bash or belittle another woman."
