Carrie Bickmore has opened up about the unexpected challenges she has encountered following the birth of her third child, Addie, who is now five months old.
Although Australians know Carrie Bickmore, 38, as a successful TV presenter on The Project with a life that looks rather glamorous, since welcoming Addie, she has been pulling the curtain back to show her followers the less attractive parts of her everyday life as the mother of a newborn.
Writing for Stellar Magazine on Mother’s Day, Bickmore shared that her “third stint at motherhood” has been “one of the most challenging periods of my life”.
Much harder, she explained, than the newborn phase for her first two children, Ollie, now 11, and three-year-old Evie.

I really admire Carrie for being so real and open about her experience. All you hear about is the magic when you have a baby, the joy and the love and while these are very real emotions, so are anxiety, depression, fear and many other dark emotions. We need to lift the veil off the ‘darker’ side of parenting a newborn. It’s not all sprinkles and rainbows.
Respect Carrie ✊
