ZOE Foster Blake says she hasn’t been able to walk for more than 10 minutes without pain after the birth of her son, Sonny, four months ago.
Foster Blake, wife of comedian Hamish Blake, spoke to mother’s website The Grace Tales and revealed her post-baby health struggles.
The 33-year-old said she suffered extreme morning sickness, was also diagnosed with gestational diabetes and an inflammatory condition called Ostetis Pubis which causes pain in the abdominal and pelvic region.
“I had gross morning sickness til about 15 weeks”, she told The Grace Tales, “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.
“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.”
While most celeb mums put on a brave face, Blake wasn’t afraid to admit some times are tough.
“I don’t. I have a micro-meltdown every couple of days. Cute!”
The beauty writer runs her own blog and is the founder of new skincare range, Go-To.
