Kendra Wilkinson Admits to Suicidal Thoughts
Postpartum Depression is a serious disease. It inflicts approximately 13 percent of women after they give birth, typically for the first time, and it can lead to major psychological issues. Even suicide in the worst cases.
We don't wish to make light of it.
However, as professional celebrity gossip bloggers that have seen countless stars sink to any level in order to make headlines, we must question Kendra Wilkinson's sincerity when she brings up this issue.
Asked how she felt immediately after Hank Baskett IV was born, Kendra tells OK! Weekly:
I never brushed my hair, my teeth, or took a shower. I looked in the mirror one day and was really depressed. I thought, “Look at me!” I had this glamorous life in L.A., and now [in Indianapolis] I didn’t.
A couple of times, I even said, “I just have nothing to live for.”
Considering Kendra posed on FOUR covers of this very same tabloid after giving birth, likely earning a significant chunk of change each time, it's only natural to wonder if she simply needs a new hook, considering that baby weight loss story is old news...
If Kendra was truly depressed, we hope she's feeling better. If she's lying about that, she's a pretty terrible human being.
** In a related story, the season premiere of Kendra airs on E! on March 14. Amazing timing, isn't it?

I frankly am sick of her capitalizing on the baby.. Mag. covers etc... WHY is she the only woman to have a baby. I liked Kendra, think she is adorable and liked her on Hefners show, but now that she is married, I feel she is capitalizing on the prior fame, and I wonder why the public has an appetite for Kendras baby weight, etc when the whole world has kids and the same struggles and they do not get paid to pose for magazines. I watched the show last night and thought it was boring, tired of hearing her wine about her weight, she has a beautiful little boy and that should be the focus, not how sexy she is...... Just my opinion

Forgot to add...part of the whole post-partum act is going through the motions like you're the happiest Mom on earth (even if you're not), so it's no shock that Kendra posed for all these pics. Especially if she got paid lots of money for them.

what? is exactly right! 80% of all women feel this way 1-2 weeks after giving birth, and 20% of those women go on to be diagnosed with post-partum depression 6 weeks after giving birth. Chances are, Kendra's not making it up. Having a baby does crazy things to your body and your mind. Anybody's who's had a baby knows this.

Why would someone lie about that? DO you know how many women feel like after having a baby. I hate how cruel people can think.
