Meghan Trainor is pulling back the curtain on the emotional toll behind welcoming a child via surrogacy and making it clear the journey was far from easy.

The “All About That Bass” singer has long been candid about motherhood, including her own birth experiences with her older children. 

However, having a third child through a surrogate came with a different set of difficulties, and she is revealing.

Meghan Trainor Details The ‘Scary’ Part Of Having A Child Through Surrogacy 

During a Thursday, April 9, interview on Kylie Kelce’s “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, Trainor did not hold back, revealing that the challenges came as far back as during the deliberation process about the method.

“[We had] heartbreaking, big decision-making to do,” Trainor candidly told the host. “And I was struggling with my health and almost towards an autoimmune disease,” she added, noting that surrogacy was her safest option. 

The “Lips Are Movin” singer went on to disclose that it also came with a mixture of emotions, admitting she felt anxious, scared, and jealous of not carrying her baby herself. 

Despite the challenges that came with it, the Grammy winner said having a newborn this time brought noticeable changes. 

“I’ll tell you what’s different is not healing from a C-section with a newborn,” she shared, adding she could be present and care for the baby and her other kids. “So that was the good parts, but there’s a lot of scary parts,” she said. 

Trainor noted she also had to deal with public reaction. Expecting criticism, she chose to avoid reading comments altogether. In the end, she acknowledged that while the process brought plenty of tears, it was ultimately “the best thing” for her family.

Meghan Trainor Previously Defended Her Birth Choice From Critics 

This is not the first time Trainor has stood firm on her decision to grow her family in a non-traditional way.

The Blast reported a few months back that the pop singer addressed the conversation surrounding her choice, making it clear that it isn’t something open to judgment.

Trainor emphasized that every family’s journey looks different, and each one is valid. For her, the decision ultimately came down to choosing the safest path, especially in light of her past health challenges.

The mom of three has been open about those struggles in her 2023 book “Dear Future Mama.” After welcoming her first son, Riley, she revealed she developed post-traumatic stress disorder following his birth.

With her second, Barry, she endured severe physical and emotional strain, including exhaustion and panic attacks, which pushed her to a breaking point.

The Proud Mom Shared The Skin-To-Skin Moment With Her Newborn 

Trainor and her husband, Daryl Sabara, welcomed their girl on January 18, with the singer taking to Instagram to announce the news through a heartfelt post, featuring an emotional moment between mother and daughter. 

As The Blast reported, the intimate shot showed Trainor cradling the baby against her chest, offering a soft smile with teary eyes. Elsewhere in the post, she appeared more composed, posing alongside Sabara.

The post also captured sweet family moments, including their sons meeting their baby sister for the first time. In the caption, Trainor revealed that the boys even played a role in choosing their sister’s name.

How Meghan Trainor Reacted To Negative Comments About Her Weight Loss 

As Trainor opens up about her daughter’s birth and the scrutiny surrounding it, she has also not shied away from addressing the criticism she faced over her body transformation.

After “The Made You Look” singer shed more than 60 pounds through a combination of exercise, dietary changes, and the use of the drug Mounjaro, the negative comments she received were in numbers. 

During an appearance on a past episode of “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” the 32-year-old admitted that the backlash hit harder than she expected. “It felt like a flame lit off, and I was just getting attacked by so many mean comments,” she recalled, per The Blast.

Later, while promoting her seventh studio album, she again addressed remarks about being “thin,” emphasizing that she has been prioritizing her health and fitness and feels better than ever. 

Why Meghan Trainor Quit Her Coffee-Drinking Habit 

While focusing on her well-being, Trainor had taken lifestyle shifts like giving up coffee drinking. However, the choice was not random. It was triggered by something a psychic told her husband. 

According to The Blast, Trainor shared that the psychic, whom she had never met, described her as relying heavily on caffeine, using it to push through the day, then crashing later. That comment struck a nerve because it was exactly what she’d been experiencing.

She realized that she was using it to stay energized, only to feel drained later and even restless at night. So she quit immediately.
