Mama C: 'The loneliness can be cutting'

Popular vlogger Candice Brown-Brathwaite, also known as Mama C, intends to approach things differently when her second child is born.

β€œOne thing that affected me more than postnatal depression or the struggle with my mental health, was loneliness as a new mum.”

Candice was prescribed antidepressants after her first child, Esme, was born.

β€œThe loneliness can be cutting.”

β€œYou’ve got to have the right support system in place and you’ve got your friends around you.”

β€œYou’ve got to be best first and foremost.”
