The former Love Island star is mum to two-year-old Santi and announced she was expecting identical twin girls in January of this year.

As Dyer voiced her worries in the caption of the post, many of her fans have shared their support and offered advice for her in the comments.

Dani captioned the post, “I am so excited for our family to be growing.. I feel so lucky and blessed to be having 2 more babies.. but I just feel like I have so many worries going around in my head that I need to just get them all out”.

“I remember one of my friends having a second baby and telling me about the second baby guilt she had and I never understood it until I fell pregnant again! Honestly the mum guilt never ends I don’t think”.

The 26-year-old then opened up about her birth plan. “I have been booked in to have a planned c-section. Because I had an emergency c-section before they felt the safer way would be for the twins to be delivered by c-section again”.

“Especially because they are identical twins, it’s always a bit more risky. I have always wanted a vaginal birth, but I knew I had to listen to my consultant”.

“As soon as I found out I should have a c-section, I instantly felt so guilty and worried about the recovery. I still want to be able to pick Santi up and run around and do the activities I usually do but because Santi is still only little himself, I can’t really explain why mummy can’t do her usual activities. So much is changing but I still want him to think I can be the best mummy possible”.

Fans rushed to support Dani in the comments by offering advice and sharing their own experiences with this stage of motherhood. 

“Mom guilt was real…but you learn that you manage to give both all of your love!… Everything does just fall into place”, wrote one fan.

Another follower of Dani’s penned, “He will love them so much that guilt will subside a little. It'll always be there, but just do your best as you already do hun”.

“He will be the best big brother and will fast become mummy’s little helper!! You’ll always have that bond with him. Mum guilt goes with the territory. Enjoy the one on one time now and don’t worry”, added a third fan.

Lea Michelle has issued a call of love and support for her family.

The former Glee star is a mum-of-one to her two-year-old son, named Ever Leo.

Taking to her Instagram stories last night, the 36-year-old decided to share a worrying piece of news with her 7.9M followers.

She announced that she would not be taking part in that day’s performances of Broadway musical Funny Girl. Lea is currently assigned to the lead role of Fanny Brice.

Upon announcing her absence, Lea then explained the reason for her unavailability.

“I’m so sorry but unfortunately I will be out of @FunnyGirlBwy today,” the singer and actress wrote.

“We are at the hospital with our son dealing with a scary health issue that I need to be here for,” she detailed further. Alongside her penned message, Lea included a bittersweet snap of her hand resting on top of her son’s, as he lies in a hospital bed next to a teddy bear.

“I’m so sorry. Please send us some love and strength,” the star concluded in her caption.

As a result of her son’s ongoing health concerns, Lea ended up missing the matinee and evening performances of Funny Girl yesterday. Julie Benko will take over the role of Fanny Brice in her absence, and fans are hoping that toddler Ever Leo’s health will soon improve.

Lea, who is best known for playing Rachel Berry on hit TV show Glee from 2009 until 2015, has been married to her husband Zandy Reich since March 2019. The couple dated for two years before tying the knot. 

Nine months after saying ‘I do’, Lea unexpectedly discovered that she was pregnant with the couple’s first child.

The pair subsequently welcomed son Ever Leo into the world in August 2020. 

We’re sending the family-of-three our well-wishes.

Jessica Fox has shared a realistic insight into postpartum life as her body recovers from giving birth to her son. 

The Hollyoaks actress welcomed the birth of her baby boy earlier this month and revealed the tot’s name is River. 

Jessica has now posted a “body check” to her Instagram Stories and spoke about the pressure mums feel after giving birth as she asked her followers, "Anyone else feel the pressure?".

The 39-year-old then shared an update on the response her honesty received from fans. “I'm just feeding River and I had quite a big response to that video that I put about feeling pressure, which I wasn't really expecting. I just kind of did it this morning”.

“It was just interesting so many people have got in touch and said that they felt a huge amount of pressure, or feel a huge amount of pressure, or are worried about it”.

Jessica continued, “And then loads and loads of messages from other people saying, ‘It takes 9 months to grow a baby, give yourself a break’, which is very true but maybe not as easy in practice”.

“So I guess we all just need to be kind to ourselves and kind to our babies and not give a flying f*** what everyone else thinks of whether or not we fit in jeans”.

When announcing her son’s birth, Fox shared some adorable photos from their time at the hospital and penned, “Baby River, you have changed our world forever and we are so grateful we get to love you”.

When the actress revealed she was expecting River in October of last year, she opened up about previously suffering two heartbreaking miscarriages.

“Miscarriage is awful. There is no other word for it…Nick and I lost two babies in 2021. Both losses were at the end of the first trimester and completely heartbreaking”.

Mrs Hinch has taken a trip down memory lane as she returned back to where she had her first ever job.

The cleaning expert, who has racked up an impressive 4.6M Instagram followers from her cleaning tips and hacks on social media, revealed her first job was as a ‘pot wash’ in a pub. 

Reflecting back on her days in the pub’s kitchen, Sophie shared a disastrous but funny story from all those years ago that ended up with her leaving the job!

Posting a photo from outside the pub to her Instagram Stories, the mum-of-two wrote, “Memories. This pub was my first ever job. I worked out the back as a “pot wash” washing the dishes and cleaning the sink for hours”.

“I loved it!”, Sophie continued before detailing her work blunder. “Until I was asked to waitress for one day and dropped cod chips and peas all over a lady's lap”.

“That was the end of that”, she added with a laughing emoji. 

Mrs Hinch is now known for sharing her cleaning tips online and has gone on to release many books including, Hinch Yourself Happy, This is Me and The Little Book of Lists. 

The 33-year-old also released her first children’s book, Welcome to Hinch Farm, earlier this year which is based on her life with her family as they move to a new home.

Sophie has also teamed up with brands such as F&F, Flash and Lenor to release her own line in their ranges. 

Sophie tied the knot to her husband Jamie Hinchliffe in August 2018 and went on to welcome two boys into the world. Ronnie was born in 2019 and his little brother Lennie came along in 2021.

Janette Manrara has been spilling all the details about her pregnancy!

The former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer announced last month that she is expecting her first child, alongside her husband Aljaž Škorjanec.

Earlier today, the couple appeared on daytime show Lorraine to gush about their exciting news, and detail how Janette has been coping so far throughout her pregnancy.

“He's actually been sick more than I have, we really are pregnant together,” Janette teased.

“I'm feeling good, I’ve been so lucky with this pregnancy that it’s been so good, we’ve just been to the doctor and everything is all good,” the 39-year-old added.

Janette then went on to explain when she and Aljaž first decided to tell their loved ones about their incoming arrival. “The only people we told at first was our family and that was on Christmas Day, we had to,” she admitted.

The dancer also recalled how she struggled to hide her pregnancy on tour. “I did the Strictly Live Tour, that was tough to keep in because obviously we’re on stage and we’re out all the time, so I wore this big yellow dress to try and keep it in but people were suspicious, they kept asking why I wasn't having a glass of wine,” Janette shared.

Aljaž was then asked how he has been coping with the couple’s ongoing pregnancy journey. “It’s been a really interesting process so far, I’m just amazed by it so far and you want to do so much research on everything and am so excited,” the 33-year-old dancer exclaimed.

The father-to-be then went on to joke that their baby’s first steps might involve a dance. “I love a foxtrot but Jannette loves Latin so it’ll be interesting to see what the baby’s first steps are. We both just can’t wait to be parents,” he beamed.

Janette and Aljaž initially announced on February 19 that they are expecting their first child together. 

“We’re so happy to share our special news!”, Janette gushed in the caption of her announcement.

The expectant parents also confirmed at the time that they had been trying to conceive for over two years, and were planning to begin IVF treatment when Janette surprisingly fell pregnant.

Shaughna Phillips has addressed rumours on social media that she’s given birth to her first child. 

The former Love Island star announced that she was in early labour at the beginning of this month and her latest Instagram Story had her fans convinced that she’d already welcomed the birth of her baby. 

Shaughna has now shut down rumours that her baby has been born and revealed she is still very much pregnant. 

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Phillips posted a mirror selfie showing her blossoming baby bump.

The former reality TV star wrote, “Sorry guys I think I made a few of you think baby was here after I shared my placenta plus box!”.

“Baby is still very much snug as a bug it was just the preparation kit that was delivered”.

Shaughna excitedly added, “4 days until due date my lil Aries baby”.

The 28-year-old had fans speculating her little one had arrived as she asked her followers for advice on breastfeeding pumps, as well as sharing a photo of a Placenta Plus box that read, ‘Contains human tissue’.

This service can turn a mum’s placenta into pills or gummies for her to take after the baby has arrived, which is also why fans thought she'd given birth.

When revealing she had gone into early labour at the start of March to her 1.4M Instagram followers, Shaughna explained, “I had my last job before baby this morning, an international women’s day panel, and just before my cab arrived, things took a turn”.

“I was on the way to the hospital, and have been told I’m in early labour. Home now, baby still tucked up nicely, and waiting for nature to do it’s thang”.

Sharing more information about finding out she was in early labour, the mum-to-be said, “I noticed that I had a rash on my leg, which I then realised had spread across my bump”.

“We called 111 and were told to go to A&E, which was really scary, and whilst we were waiting for a taxi, I was sick twice”.

Shaughna added, “When I got home from hospital, I got a really intense pain that felt like it was pushing down, and that's when I really started to get nervous”.

“Yes… it’s made us one million times stronger,” she admitted in response.

“Having a baby is all about team work, we are still figuring it out together but we are really lucky that becoming parents has only affected our relationship positively,” Molly-Mae penned.

For her final question, the Pretty Little Thing influencer was asked if her best friend and fellow Love Island star Maura Higgins has met Bambi yet.

In response, the new mum shared a heartwarming snap of Maura cuddling Bambi and kissing the top of her head.

“She has,” Molly-Mae gushed alongside the image.

Molly-Mae and Tommy initially announced the birth of their daughter on January 30, by revealing a sweet black-and-white photo of themselves in hospital, cradling Bambi moments after she was born. 

In the caption of their post, the new parents confirmed that Molly-Mae had given birth one week prior, on January 23.

We couldn’t be happier for them!
