Halsey is expecting her first child with Alev Aydin and recently opened to Allure magazine about feeling like a ‘failure’ during pregnancy.
The singer who uses she/they pronouns said, “I’m going to tell you something that’s going to get me f-king slaughtered on the internet, but I’m going to go ahead and say it: I didn’t take my prenatals”
“I took them the first two months, and then the vomiting got really bad and I had to make a choice between taking my prenatals and throwing up or maintaining the nutrients I did manage to eat that day. was on so many medications…and all these anti-nausea, anti-vomiting medications. I went to my doctor, crying my eyes out, and I was like, ‘I haven’t taken my prenatals in six weeks. Is my baby okay?’ I was so angry with myself,” they continued.
“‘You have one f-king job! One job! Take your prenatals! Your body’s doing everything else, you can’t even do that.’ I felt like such a failure.”
“When this pregnancy started, I was like, ‘You’re going to do yoga and eat flaxseed. You’re going to use essential oils and hypnobirth and meditate and f-cking journal every single day.’ I have done none of those things. Zero. None. I eat cookies and had a bagel every single day for the first five months of my pregnancy,” they went on to admit.
Halsey’s doctor gave the singer and her growing baby a clean bill of health.
