Molly-Mae Hague's Farm Outing During Pregnancy Alarms Followers
Molly-Mae Hague, the prominent influencer and former Love Island star, has sparked concern among her fans after visiting a farm during lambing season while six months pregnant. The 26-year-old, who is expecting her second child with boyfriend Tommy Fury, also 26, shared snaps from her trip to Ash End House Children's Farm in Staffordshire, where she observed newborn lambs just three days after their birth.
Health Risks for Pregnant Women Highlighted
According to NHS guidelines, pregnant women can visit farms but must take specific precautions to minimise infection risks, particularly by avoiding direct contact with animals that have recently given birth. The farm itself warns of toxoplasmosis, an illness that can be transmitted from sheep to humans during lambing season, causing fever and sore throat. This condition poses a heightened risk for pregnant women, who are advised to steer clear of close animal interactions.
Ash End House Children's Farm explicitly states on its website that it does not permit lamb cuddling or handling and recommends pregnant visitors avoid eating and drinking in animal areas. The farm emphasises its vigilance in animal management and public interaction protocols. However, it remains unclear what precautions Molly-Mae took during her visit, and her representatives have not commented on the matter.
Molly-Mae's Social Media Post and Fan Reactions
Molly-Mae posted an adorable image on Instagram showing two tiny lambs frolicking in hay, captioned "Three days old" with a series of cute emojis. While many followers found the post charming, others expressed worry about the potential health implications for her and her unborn child. This concern comes amid Molly-Mae's recent revelations about her pregnancy, including struggles with nasal spray addiction and breathing difficulties.
Upcoming Ventures and Personal Updates
Amid the farm visit controversy, Molly-Mae is preparing to appear on Celebrity Bake Off, where she admits to feeling competitive despite her stress management challenges. She told The Mirror, "I think my strength would be my presentation, decoration and eye for detail... My weakness would probably be my stress – I don’t manage my stress that well."
The influencer, already a mother to two-year-old Bambi, announced her second pregnancy earlier this year, delighting fans who flooded social media with congratulations. As her family prepares to welcome a new member, this farm outing has underscored the delicate balance between enjoying everyday activities and adhering to medical advice during pregnancy.
