In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the "Bad for Me" singer discussed how her songwriting process has changed since welcoming Riley.

"The schedule's different because I told everyone, 'Get at my house at 11 a.m. and get out by 6 p.m.' So we would write a song and then I'd be like, 'It's dinner time, goodbye,' " she shared. "And we would have baby breaks. I could be like, 'Be right back, guys. I'm going to go give my kid a bath.' I'm lucky to have my studio right here in my house. A lot of people are like, 'I don't like work at home.' I love it; I don't want to go anywhere!"

She continued, "I'm lucky enough that I can work from home and see my baby. It made me really just respect mamas who work even more. I'm lucky that I get to see him. And I talked to my therapist about it. I was like, 'What is this guilt I have of not being with my kid and anger that I don't get to see him?' And she's like, 'Oh, that's what every mom goes through. It's called being a working mom." And I was like, 'This is bull----.' But it's part of the gig."

"And I'm like, 'Yeah, but I've been told by others that it's not that.' "

"It was just really frustrating not having an answer," Trainor added. "Not having answers for why my kid didn't wake up for a week was very frustrating."

Trainor says that she saw a therapist in the weeks following her son's birth, who helped her work through the experience. "[We] realized how traumatic that all was, and how I was having PTSD at nighttime when I would try to go to sleep," she said. "I would be back in the C-section, on the table."

Trainor adds that it's "scary" thinking of her childbirth experience, especially now that she and Sabara are trying for another baby. "It's scary going into another pregnancy being like, 'Well, I hope that doesn't happen again.' Do I have to change up my whole life? I don't know," she added. "So it's infuriating."

Trainor continued: "I got them right away with this baby. I got red perioral dermatitis all over my face — so that's been fun with makeup — and popped early and was very nauseous. I was sick, my boobies were aching. This one was a ride. It was a rocky ride, but luckily it was during the holidays, so I could just chill and lay down. I pee every 20 minutes, and I'm fully out of breath just from talking. It's great."
