""I had crazy anxiety," she said. "It was a little bit scary. I felt a different thing than I'd ever felt - sad, anxious. My body was totally out of control, and my brain didn't understand what was going on.""
""[Snook] was really helpful in terms of being like, 'You have nine months of pregnancy, and you're gonna get so much information about being a pregnant woman, and people forget about what happens after you give birth,'""
""KB just has a maternal air about her," Lupe said of Nobody Wants This co-worker Bell. "She always has snacks, and she's always giving advice and has an article that she just read.""
Justine Lupe experienced two months of intense anxiety during postpartum weaning after giving birth to her first daughter, Ellis, despite not having postpartum depression. She felt sad, anxious, and physically out of control while her brain did not understand what was happening. Lupe worried the anxiety might be permanent until conversations with parent friends revealed similar experiences. Sarah Snook sent podcast episodes, checked on her after the hospital, and emphasized that pregnancy receives ample information while postpartum recovery is often overlooked. Kristen Bell offered practical, maternal support, snacks, advice, and articles. Lupe began filming the first season of Nobody Wants This at the end of her first trimester.
