Hailey Bieber is opening up about a deeply personal part of her postpartum experience. The Rhode Beauty founder reflected on struggling with premenstrual dysphoric disorder, known as PMDD, after welcoming her son Jack Blue Bieber with husband Justin Bieber, as reported by E! Online.

Jack is now 2, and Hailey is looking back at the physical and emotional realities that followed his birth. Her experience has also strengthened her interest in conversations about women's health and the gaps she sees surrounding those issues.

“I feel really drawn to women's health,” Hailey told Women's Wear Daily in an interview published Oct. 30. “As a woman, I feel frustrated by the lack of research, the lack of awareness, the lack of certain conversation around it.”

Hailey said her perspective became especially personal after she had her own child. She described pregnancy, childbirth, and the period leading up to a baby's arrival as an intense and special journey filled with many changes.

PMDD is similar to premenstrual syndrome, also known as PMS, but is more intense. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Health, it often occurs within two weeks before the menstrual cycle begins and can cause severe depression, irritability, and tension.

For Hailey, those symptoms became part of her experience after Jack's birth. “After I had my son, I struggled with that a bit,” she said.

She also pointed again to what she described as limited discussion and research surrounding the condition. By sharing what happened to her, Hailey is bringing attention to an experience that she believes needs more open conversation.

Hailey, 29, also connected that openness with feeling less isolated. “Conversation, for me personally, makes me feel less alone,” she explained.

She said that identifying with other people and speaking about shared difficulties can change how those struggles feel. For Hailey, those conversations help make the experience feel less like a lonely journey.

Her company is committing $5 million and entering a partnership lasting three years with the Foundation for Women's Health. The commitment comes as Hailey continues to speak publicly about her own health and motherhood experiences.

Her postpartum reflections are not the first time she has discussed medical concerns connected to becoming a mother. Hailey previously spoke about potential issues involving her uterine septum while trying to conceive, which causes a higher risk of miscarriage or early delivery.

During a March appearance on the SHE MD podcast, Hailey discussed the discovery with hosts Mary Alice Haney and Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, who is also her OB/GYN. “It was a surprise,” Hailey said.

“I had a septum in my uterus, and Dr. A kept saying, 'Well, we need to look at this and keep an eye on it before you get pregnant because it could potentially be an issue.'”

At the time, Hailey was not thinking about becoming pregnant and believed she would address the concern when it became necessary. She recalled that she then unexpectedly became pregnant.

Since welcoming Jack, Hailey has also shared the happiness she has found in motherhood. She revealed that she and Justin plan to have more than one child, while describing how much she enjoys being a mother.

“It's so fun, I love being a mom,” Hailey said on the In Your Dreams podcast in October 2025. She added that motherhood had long been part of the future she imagined for herself.

“I always knew I wanted to be a mom, though,” she said. “Since I was a little kid, I always envisioned myself having kids.”

Her latest comments place the difficult and joyful parts of that journey side by side. While Hailey has celebrated life with Jack and her desire for more children, she is also making space for the health struggles that followed childbirth and the isolation those experiences can create.
