The singer of folk songs is raising a five-year-old daughter, Uljana, and a six-month-old son, Alexander, who is married to businessman Alexey Pigurenko. Marina admitted that she faced postpartum depression and was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

“Woman burnout is a dangerous thing and it’s better not to discuss it. I encountered this for the first time. I have the best kids in the world! Like all children, they have a set of characteristics to deal with. But only a healthy and happy woman can make her family happy, “said Devyatova.

According to the artist, the second pregnancy was more difficult for her. When she was six months old, the family moved to another residence. This step was a serious test for a woman in the position. In addition, Marina urged women not to postpone the appearance of children for later. “Old age. This is for those who still want to live “for themselves” – to give birth! Years take their toll! All the events in the world, unbearable summer heat, preeclampsia of pregnant women at 9 months – all this is in the piggy bank, “the star listed factors.

The singer worked during her pregnancy, she limited energetic activity until three weeks before giving birth. And then the usual “maternal” everyday life began – getting to know the baby, diapers, sleepless nights, while Devyatova had to quickly return to the work process.

“I don’t advise anyone like that, either get a nanny right away, we recently had one. But the process was started, after the tour I return home and my favorite nights are there again, and no one canceled the worries of housewives, “complained the artist.

New Year’s holidays for Marina also turned out to be tense – almost all her relatives were sick, the child Sashulya brought special experiences. As a result, when everyone recovered, the young mother felt a breakdown. “I got to the point where I stopped wanting to live… Hello, depression,” admitted the finalist of the People’s Artist-3 project.

According to the 39-year-old folk star, wise friends advised her to rest, and not with her husband and children, but alone. The artist said that she was not used to standing up and doing something for herself, but she ended up going to a detox clinic to restore her body. “I sat in the room and sobbed that it was all just for me, that I didn’t owe anyone anything,” added the daughter of Russian People’s Artist Vladimir Devyatov.

The singer advised mothers who come from the main job and take over the second – at home. She urged them not to wait for it to get easier or for someone to pull them out of their state of perpetual weariness. According to Marina, you need to like yourself, take time to rest, delegate some responsibilities. “Children under the age of 7 are in their mother’s biofield and they need her healthy and with burning eyes,” added Devjatovová.
