Vanessa Lachey is opening up about one the most difficult thing about becoming a mother….postpartum.

The Wipeout host penned an article on her blog about her battle with the baby blues, folloing the birth of her first child, Camden, with Nick Lachey.

“I couldn’t understand how anyone could ever feel anything less than this enormous amount of pure love! I looked over and saw Nick holding Camden in his perfect hospital swaddle, and I felt so at peace and right where I was supposed to be. I knew this was what I was meant to be: a Wife, and a Mother to these two amazing people,” Vanessa writes on her website.

Vanessa continued saying, “NOTHING prepares you better than the real thing. I felt lost, unloved, alone and at my wit’s end. It’s weird, too, because I have an amazing and supportive husband, his loving family and wonderful friends. … Nick would say, “What can I do?” and I’d say, “I don’t know!” And it’s true! I didn’t know! ”
