Ahead of giving birth, Claire had shared a pregnancy update at 35 weeks and told fans she was so ‘excited’ to meet her little girl, but admitted she was worried about having a newborn on her hands again. ’35 WEEKS.
I’m excited to meet this little girl but I’m SO anxious about losing it again. The recovery, sleep deprivation, feedings, 2 kids 17 months apart, a pandemic… It’s a lot,’ Claire said. ‘I know how lucky I am and I know each stage is temporary, but I’m still feeling stressed about how I’ll cope mentally.
I think it’s important to share that I have always had help. I never want to pretend that I do it on my own (I am completely in awe of women who do).

‘That being said, I still felt overwhelmed, embarrassed/guilty that I was struggling, and not at all like myself after I gave birth. Did anyone have a totally different postpartum experience the second time? Tips?.’
Claire shares daughter Elle with husband Andrew Joblon and the pair are already parents to one-year-old son James, who they welcomed in March 2019. She and Andrew married in 2018 and are already parents to one-year-old son James.
She was seen recently celebrating her second wedding anniversary with Andrew – posting a throwback photo from the couple’s big day on Instagram and joking: ‘The topic of our most significant argument during quarantine/pregnancy was pasta (I still don’t think @ajoblon offered me any but I’ve moved on because I’m very mature).

‘I’d say that’s a sign of a damn good marriage! Happy anniversary to my soulmate and best friend. There’s no one else in the world I’d rather be stuck inside with.
I love you beyond ❤️.’ Fans will best know Claire for starring in The Vampire Diaries as Rebecca Mikaelson alongside co-stars Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert), Ian Somerholder (Damon Salvatore) and Paul Wesley (Stefan Salvatore).
