American-based actress, Georgina Onuoha, has revealed that she suffered from depression after giving birth to her first child.

The 38-year-old disclosed this in a post made on Instagram on Monday.

“12 years ago with Chigozie at arm and 7 months heavily pregnant with Chimezie.

“I was tired, home sick and depressed. Barely 8 months in a new country, no friends, no family, I was a loner with a partner who was always extremely busy with work as a medical doctor. Life was rough and of course like most new mom I suffered postpartum depression and isolation.

“Thank God my mom had to leave everything to come stay with me till my baby was born and she left two weeks after that. Having two infants at arms is not for the faint of heart. Baby blues was my partner and tears overwhelmed me daily,” she wrote.

Georgina Onuoha was previously married to Dr. Ifeanyi Igwegbe but their marriage crashed in 2012.

She left the marriage with two daughters, Chigozie and Chimezie.
