It was supposed to be a happy time.
But just a week after the birth of her second child, she bursts out: Alessia Herren struggles with her reflection and finds honest words. Instead of baby glow, there is self-doubt.
“I feel just as ugly”
On April 21st, Alessia gives birth to her son, making her family happiness with husband Can and daughter Anisa-Amalia perfect. But in her Instagram story, the 24-year-old addresses her fans directly. “I felt really ugly when I was pregnant. Now I gave birth a week ago and I feel just as ugly.”

The problem: The hormonal rollercoaster of pregnancy has left its mark, especially on her skin. “As you can see, I got a lot of pigment spots on my face simply because of the pregnancy and the hormones,” explains Alessia. The eye area in particular bothers her: “As if I was sunbathing and forgot to take off my sunglasses.”

A small step back to yourself
The changes are so stressful for her that she withdrew during the pregnancy. “I’m so ashamed of this, you can’t imagine it”she says. But Alessia doesn't want to give up. Although she admits: “I’m slowly having to accept that I look like that.” But she is already looking for solutions to get rid of the stains. “I'm trying to combat it step by step so that I can get rid of it,” she says in the story.
The first step: visiting a friend for a professional facial treatment. “I hope that my skin will normalize again. It's crazy what the hormones do to you…” says Alessia. (nha)
