Faith says she wants to “feel free” in her body as it changes over the coming months. She gets real about how she will “swell up” during pregnancy and describes her anxiety over society’s fixation with pregnant women’s bodies.

She also explains that her first birth was “traumatic” and that she is “prone to postpartum depression”. According to Faith, this is her sixth round of IVF and it was a “struggle to get here”.

It’s no wonder that the star wants to take this empowering moment to protect her mental health more.
