Actor Pınar Altuğ said that returning to work shortly after giving birth made her appear fine from the outside, but that she was going through a difficult process in her inner world. Altuğ pointed out that psychological recovery after motherhood can take time.
Pınar Altuğ made statements about her experience of motherhood and the postpartum period she went through. The actress, who returned to television work when her daughter was only two months old, stated that returning to work early made it seem as though she had quickly regained her appearance. However, she said that this image did not reflect the difficulty she was experiencing in her inner world.
“LOOKING GOOD DOES NOT MEAN FEELING GOOD”
Altuğ explained that hair and makeup helped her look better on screen, whereas her emotional recovery took longer. The actress said that the psychological changes experienced in the postpartum period may not fade immediately, and that in her own experience this process took about two to two and a half years.
Altuğ, noting that mothers experiencing similar feelings should not feel alone, emphasized that what she went through is one of the invisible aspects of the motherhood process.
