The 'Big Brother' star welcomed Noa into the world three weeks ago and she has already been to hospital three times, with Kate admitting it has been taking its toll on her.
She wrote: "It’s been the most challenging, emotionally draining and stressful three weeks of my life but I pray we have turned a corner now and can start to enjoy the newborn bubble everyone seems to have which so far has felt more like a horrible fairground ride I want to get off. It doesn’t mean I don’t love Noa, I’ve just honestly struggled and some days found it hard to even get out of bed. (sic)"
Noa was rushed to hospital for a third time on Thursday (04.03.21) for an infection, after her parents detected a high temperature. She is now having IV antibiotics, but is doing well.
Writing on her Instagram page, Kate added: "Noa decided to spend the day we registered her at the local town hall by allowing us to enjoy a dirty cheese pizza afterwards and then spiking a temperature, resulting in a trip to a&e and an overnight stay in hospital due to an infection.
"While the doctor informed us that Noa was showing signs of being quite sick and her initial tests were cause of concern, she fought back with antibiotics and we were sent home yesterday knowing that the chances of meningitis or septicaemia were now very low. We’re still waiting the final blood culture results from the lab but she’s been feeding well, she looks healthier and apart from hardly any sleep last night because of tummy cramps (a side effect of the antibiotics) she’s doing so much better and today is hopefully the only day we had to go back for her daily dose of IV antibiotics. Fingers crossed she gets the all clear tomorrow morning and we don’t need to go back for further IV antibiotics. (sic)"
