“I loved being pregnant in that I wanted very much to be and was so thrilled and chuffed that it had happened. It wasn’t the smoothest ride, though," she admits.
"I had grosso morning sickness til about 15 weeks, and then gestational diabetes and most annoyingly, from about week 20, I had pelvis issues, which saw me on crutches for the last five weeks of the pregnancy, and has since developed into full-blown Osteitis Pubis and pelvic instability,” she added.

Four-months after giving birth, the 33-year-old says she is still suffering from the condition, which is described as a non-infectious inflammation causing pain in the lower abdominal and pelvic region.
“I can’t walk for more than 10 mins without pain and it’s doing my head in, to be honest.

"Many scans, much treatment and endless rehab will see it eventually buzz off, and not a dingin’ moment too soon,” she says.
However despite the challenges, the first-time mum has nothing but love for being a mum and her little boy, when asked about the best part she says it's “the sense of purpose and intense love zinging between Sonny, myself and my husband.”
