Jess Wright reveals she suffered from post-natal depression after birth of baby boy

JESS Wright has revealed she suffered with post-natal depression following the birth of her first child.

The former Towie star welcomed a son, Presley, with her husband William Lee-Kemp in June.

Speaking on the red carpet at last night’s NTAs, Jess said she had struggled, adding: “I had a bit of post natal depression.

“And the lack of sleep.

“For me also, I have always had psoriasis but it went when I was pregnant but now it is back with a vengeance.

“It has now gone to the point where it is no return, it is everywhere. I have covered it well tonight. I did not know it would be as bad.”

Jess previously told how she had to have her baby boy delivered by emergency caesarean section five days before her due date, after concerns that he was struggling.

“I felt so much less movement from him the week before and I was so uncomfortable and breathless all the time. I was adamant that I wanted a natural birth,” she said.

“The doctor said they would induce me, but after 48 hours, I had barely slept and still hadn’t dilated half a centimetre.

“Then the baby’s heart rate started dropping, so I needed an emergency C-section.

“After he was born, he stopped breathing and his oxygen went really low.

“Then the following morning, his heart rate dropped again and he was doing this grunting thing, so he had to go into NICU [newborn intensive care unit].”
