Sharing her journey. Meghan Trainor<\/strong><\/a> revealed she lost 60 pounds after welcoming her now-21-month-old son, Riley.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI was my heaviest I\u2019ve ever been. I was, like, over 200 pounds when I C-sectioned him out,\u201d the singer, 28, told ET Canada<\/em><\/a> on Monday, November 7, about giving birth to her first child<\/a>. \u201cI just wasn\u2019t feeling great. I\u2019ve never had stitches, so to have this C-section scar, I was in a really dark place and I wanted to be in a great place for my son.\u201d<\/p>\n Trainor recalled taking the necessary steps to ensure she was feeling better postpartum<\/a>. \u201cSo, I worked every day and challenged myself. I was like, \u2018If I can survive a C-section, I can do anything!\u2019\u201d she continued. \u201cI was very dedicated and I started seeing the pounds come off, like, one week at a time, one pound [at a time].\u201d<\/p>\n The Massachusetts native added: \u201cI learned that I do like healthy food and I learned what portions mean. And I learned my brain is so happy when I exercise, so I\u2019m just [feeling] better than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n Trainor, who welcomed her little one in February 2021 with husband Daryl Sabara<\/strong><\/a>, has previously addressed the challenges of her first pregnancy<\/a>. One month after her son\u2019s arrival, the \u201cAll About That Bass\u201d performer recalled being diagnosed with gestational diabetes.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018I\u2019m sorry, man! I ate such crap in the first few trimesters,\u2019\u201d she told Ryan Seacrest<\/strong><\/a> in March 2021 of her initial reaction to the health issue. \u201cAnd they\u2019re like, \u2018It\u2019s not you. It\u2019s nothing you ate. It\u2019s in your genetics.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018OK,\u2019 because my mom did have it too.\u201d<\/p>\n Three months later, Trainor opened up about her \u201cterrifying\u201d experience during Riley\u2019s delivery. \u201cIt was one of those horror stories where he didn\u2019t cry,\u201d she explained on the Today<\/em> show at the time. \u201cHe didn\u2019t make noise when he came out. I was like, \u2018Why isn\u2019t he crying?\u2019 Then they told me he was having breathing issues.\u201d<\/p>\n According to the Grammy winner, the \u201cworst part\u201d was that she only got to see her baby for \u201cone second\u201d before he had to be taken away<\/a> for medical attention. \u201cIt was definitely a rough start. But we\u2019re so lucky we got to bring him home after five days,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Trainor also called out the nurses who insinuated her mental health played a role in the infant\u2019s NICU stay<\/a>. \u201cThey kept asking me if I was on antidepressants during the pregnancy, and I was, but on the lowest dose possible, and all my doctors said it was safe and wouldn\u2019t affect him,\u201d she told Romper in September.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
