“Nobody talks about this, but the first year of having a baby is so blissful and so hard – and it’s so hard on your marriage too,” Tammin Sursok revealed during one of her most candid interviews to date – with Seven’s The Morning Show – in which she opened up about her daughter Phoenix, husband Sean Mcewen and experiencing two consecutive miscarriages.
The Pretty Little Liars Star welcomed her second child earlier this year, admitting that her second pregnancy took a bigger on her – both physically and emotionally – than her first time.
“Phoenix was such an easy pregnancy, and I got pregnant really, really quick – it was very simple,” the former Home And Away star said.
“When we decided to have a second child, I got pregnant really fast again – and we lost that baby in the doctor’s office.
“It was pretty far into my pregnancy, so it was quite shocking. When things like that happen, you never think it’s going to happen to you.
“But they’re so common, and we don’t talk about it. And then I had another miscarriage before Lennon, so two back to back.
“Women don’t speak about the things that they’re going through. We feel so isolated and feel so alone,”
Tammin also discussed her experiences with bullying and body image.
The actress recently opened up about being bullied as a child about her weight on Instagram – having once weighed 95kg when she was 14 years old.
“I’ve learned throughout my life and journey that unhappiness is the fastest pipeline to hate,” Sursok said.
“When people aren’t happy, they shame other people and bully.
“For me, I look back, and I realise it was never really about me. It was about them. And people who put other people down, it’s because you’re showing something that they don’t like about themselves.
“I’ve been through extensive therapy because for me I still feel like that overweight girl. And I don’t really ever feel like I’m good enough.
“It’s important to talk about, and I think a lot of people struggle with bullying. And for me, if my platform can help just one person, then my job is done.”
