The Coronation Street star penned: ‘Pregnant Pause. Ponderings of an oestrogenic woman: Don’t assume your pregnant pals are doing fine.

‘Regardless of whether it’s their second, third, fourth child. I began to see very early on, that this pregnancy was COMPLETELY different from my first.

‘Not knowing how I am going to feel from one day to the next makes me feel weak. I hate feeling weak- mentally or physically. I hate ‘giving in’ … and certainly don’t like ‘giving up’.

‘Each day has brought me new obstacles- my hormone sensitivity means- some days I am met with loss of vision at several points during the day through ocular, hormone related migraines.

‘I have had to pull over in my car and ride out vision loss, crying on my own till it passes… But baby needs those hormones to flourish. For me it’s an inconvenience- to her it’s staying alive.

‘My pregnancy insomnia means that some days, I can barely get out of bed. I can’t ignore my body- it’s doing it’s thing. Yes it’s hard – but my daughter is strong and thriving. That is what matters the most.

‘I am grateful beyond words for this pregnancy- please don’t get me wrong, I know how lucky I am. It’s very difficult for me to admit I’m not firing on a cylinders.

‘It’s very difficult for me to sometimes say ‘I can’t’. But when I look back on this section of my life – it will feel like such a short space of time. It is a lesson to me- to always check in with my pregnant friends AND their partners!!!

‘Because actually – the more I talk about my experiences, the more I see that SO many other women are struggling. But they feel they can’t ‘moan’ because it seems ‘ungrateful’.

‘But sometimes that’s all you need. A phone call with a friend- a damn good oestrogen-riddled cry. Someone to tell you – you’re doing this. Stop being hard on yourself- you are growing an actual HUMAN.

‘Remind them – this will pass… and the greatest gift you ever had will bring you unimaginable love and joy. We need to hear that. Tell them.

‘You got this mommas- WE got this. And we are stronger than you could ever imagine – even in your most vulnerable moments- you are POWER!!!! You are NOT alone.’
