Haines — whohinted on a recent episode ofThe Viewthat her husband was considering officially getting a vasectomy since they “need to stop!” — also shared how she dealt with postpartum depression, saying that “therapy & meds” worked.

“I also prioritized raising my heart rate for 20-30 min. a day to maximize my internal happy (not a scientific term) hormones,” she added.

And in general insight to her parenting life, Haines got candid about harshly judging herself when it comes to being a mom.

“The on the job learning curve is brutal,” she answered an inquiry about the “hardest thing” about being a parent. “While never really knowing how you are doing…and usually feeling like it isn’t good enough.”
