Molly Mae Hague has revealed that her son Midas 'will be my last child' as she shares struggles at 10 weeks postpartum. The former Love Island star, 27, had her second child, a son named Midas, earlier this year and has been open about her struggles with parenthood the second time around. She revealed she had to stop breastfeeding him at three weeks after he was taking too long to feed and she was feeding him for several hours every day.
Opening up about the highs and lows
In a new update, she shared her struggles with raising a newborn and a toddler: "Like, peace and love and prosperity and all of that, but it's just a lot, like, obviously, and I'm, like, I feel like I'm showing I'm coping, I'm good, but also I'm having moments where I'm thinking 100%, like, I'm so blessed and so lucky, but this will be my last child," she told followers on her YouTube channel, where she boasts 2.1 million followers.
Molly-Mae went on to add: "One for the books is to remember like that having a 10 week old and a three and a half year old, like is something that a lot of mums are doing and they have more children. I am so aware of that, but it is a little bit savage... Obviously, it would be so not realistic of me to not talk about the highs and the lows, and yeah, I need you guys to understand that."
Reflux struggle with Midas
Compounding her problems, she revealed that she is also facing a new struggle with Midas, explaining that he is struggling with reflux and has been 'screaming' in pain. "I just, to be honest, I just feel so bad for mine just because this reflux thing is actually becoming like a massive issue for me - I've never, ever heard a baby scream like that," she said. She later added that he was "wired" and "upset" and she only managed to have an hour of sleep all night: "I've never, ever heard a baby scream like that. And it like literally makes me want to cry. Like he's crying, I want to cry..."
"And it's so just a lot like having a baby when it's hard enough as it is, and then add like feeding digestive issues on top of that. And it's just, it is a lot, but anyway."
Postpartum body and family life
In the video she also decided to get a bra fitted as she revealed she didn't feel confident in her underwear, noting she had no matching sets and wanted to feel better in her post partum body. She also shared a candid insight into her family life, sharing moments reading to Bambi in bed and that she and Tommy have been forced to spend more time apart with two children, each having to focus on one child each. "This is what I mean about just like, separate, being separate all the time, doing separate things with the kids, because it's just, it's not fair, I'm trying to get him in a routine, and this is where I'm like so torn," she said in the video.
