The mom of two went on, saying, “I was feeling very depressed to be honest and I’m so glad I started medication. It’s not for forever. I know this time will pass and hopefully everything will balance out and I won’t need meds!”
Lauren has also been open about her postpartum body and embracing her C-section scar after needing an emergency C-section to deliver Baker.
