Stassi Schroeder says the timing of her pregnancy may have saved her life. The Vanderpump Rules star made the stunning revelation as she and her husband Beau Clark opened up about their new roles as parents on their new podcast, The Good The Bad The Baby.
During the first episode of her podcast, Schroeder shocked her listeners by admitting that she believed she would have turned to “unhealthy” outlets had she not been pregnant last summer when her Vanderpump Rules drama was playing out.
“I think a lot of people think going through a hard time when you’re pregnant. Oh man, like that sucks,’” the new mom said to her husband in a snippet shared on her Instagram story.
“I think that made me so much better to be pregnant while I was going through a hard time,” she continued. “Because if I wasn’t pregnant I think I probably would have just gone to alcoholism, Xanax, all these unhealthy things. I would have lashed out. I would have dark passengered. And I think our baby 100 percent saved me.”
Schroeder added that knowing she was pregnant with her daughter kept her “so positive all the time”— during a pandemic, no less.
“Like when I look back on this past year, to me it’s filled with so much more happiness and thankfulness and gratitude than sadness,” she added. “Because when I have the f—ing greatest gift I’ve ever been given it just like puts things into perspective.”
