Apart from being the life partner of 4-time NBA Champion Stephen Curry, Ayesha Curry has made a name for herself with her accomplishments as a writer and a chef. Ayesha is a 2-time New York Times bestselling author and has ventured into multiple other domains. She is also a mother of three beautiful kids – Riley, Ryan, and Canon. Ayesha has gone through three pregnancies at different stages of her life, giving her a fair idea of the emotional effect of being pregnant.

In a podcast with sister-in-law Sydel Curry, Ayesha opened up about missing the “Good Old Days” after having a child and the traumatic feeling of having Baby Blues.

Ayesha was a guest on the Because Life podcast, hosted by Stephen Curry’s sister Sydel Curry. In the episode, she had a heartfelt conversation with Sydel about her postpartum depression and labor anxiety. After giving birth to her third child, Ayesha suffered from severe postpartum depression. She also recognized during that time that she was facing Baby Blues after Canon’s birth. “You just think you are a horrible person during that hour,” Ayesha said about the sinking feeling.

When Sydel asked how she felt during the Baby Blues, Ayesha responded, “For me, it felt like lost womanhood.” There was a sense of emptiness in the 34-year-old after giving birth to her children.

Ayesha and Steph got very busy after they became parents of three children. Ayesha reminisced about the time before their oldest child, Riley was born as Sydel sympathized with her sister-in-law. “That’s a real thing too, when you are mourning your old life,” added Sydel Curry.

Before the birth of Riley, Ayesha had a lot less responsibility and could do whatever she wanted. Now, the couple has the responsibility of raising three children, which is bound to take a toll on their emotional state.

When asked what others could have done differently to support Ayesha during her pregnancy, she replied that simple words like, “Are you doing okay?” would have helped a lot in that situation. “Nobody knew to do that or even thought to do that,” she added.
