Rubina, who earlier opened up about her challenges of being a mother to twin babies, has now revealed how she is dealing with postpartum depression which is sometimes a part and parcel of a new mother. She revealed about the physical changes her body has had saying, “My gynaecologist had told me that my stomach muscles had torn apart and they would never come back. Usually during pregnancy, the muscles get expanded and after the delivery, they come back with time, exercise, binding and everything. Now, they have torn apart and won't come back, my doctor had already told me that because I have twins and my body type is petite, they will grow in their full glory and strength but my body will not be able to take it hence we had to go for C-section. So the way I was will not come back.”

Rubina revealed she knew during one incident that she was headng toward postpartum depression saying, “I am confessing this, in the first 10-15 days, I couldn't sleep at night as both babies woke up one after another due to which I was unable to even go to the washroom. I was in pain, couldn't eat or drink and there were so many changes in my body. There was one time, at around 2:30, Mumma used to sleep with me and we had told Abhinav to come and help us when I couldn't take it anymore and if the baby needed top feeding. As at that hour, Mumma would change the diapers and we were trying to set a routine for them.”

Rubina further revealed how Abhinav made her feel better, “Around 2:30-3 I woke up and I was feeding Edhaa and I heard Jeeva. I was feeling so angry, not at my kids but at the whole situation. I made Edhaa leave the latch and kept her down. My mother saw it and yelled at me 'pagal ho rahi hai kya?' and I told her 'shayad, koi nahi samjhega'. I then told Abhinav to take me out as I wasn't feeling good and leaving Edhaa in the middle of feeding wasn't a good side. Abhinav then asked me what I wanted to eat and I asked for something sweet with lots of ghee. We made halwa with ghee.”
