'I . . . felt so much grief and fear. I chased and prayed for pregnancy.'
, Alanis reflected on the births of son Ever and daughter Onyx, postpartum depression, pregnancy, and more.Chrissy Teigen Knew Her Postpartum Depression Was Getting Bad When She Started Keeping Clothes in the Pantry"It's this whole chemistry of emotions. Hormones and chemicals that are just coursing through your body. It [can] be triggering, or flashbacking, or re-traumatizing," Alanis noted."There are so many ways pregnancy can affect you. I was ready for the ride.
She said, of birthing alone with Souleye:"When I had a millisecond of reprieve, I would have to blurt, 'Open the door!' or 'You've got to open the door between these next two contractions because they're going to be coming, and the door's locked and we're going to probably be busy.
Although seeing a doctor after suffering through her symptoms for a year and four months pulled her out of her first PPD experience, Alanis still waited four months after having Onyx to share how she was feeling post-birth. So now, she's attempting to be as prepared as possible for her post-birth experience with baby number three."This time I'm going to wait four minutes.
"There's constant negotiation," Alanis said of parenting."I live for collaboration and negotiation. Our whole philosophy is win-win or there's no deal. Or it's win-win or we're not done. Souleye, Onyx, Ever, and I — all four of us win. And that takes a minute." And in order to parent — and really live — successfully, Alanis touched on what she calls her"four boundaries." She explained:"I talk about this with my kids a lot, the four boundaries being: You can't tell me what I'm thinking, you can't tell me what I'm feeling, you can't f*cking touch my body/you can't do anything with my body, and don't touch my stuff. And those are the main ones.
