However, her post-birth period has hit a complication three months following Levi's arrival, prompting an update about her stay in the medical ward. This hospital dash comes shortly after their little ones were taken to A&E due to a viral illness.

Speaking to her followers on her Instagram Stories, Emma explained: "I was admitted to hospital on Monday with chronic pain and the most intense flu-like symptoms I've ever experienced. I was diagnosed with acute mastitis and ended up spending three days on IV antibiotics.

"I couldn't have Levi stay with me which was utterly heartbreaking, so Ollie was home looking after both our newborn and toddler.
He was absolutely incredible. Bringing Levi in each day so I could feed and help with the pain, while juggling everything else at home.
Truly the most incredible husband and Papa.

"It was honestly the hardest few days of my life and I really don't say that lightly. but I'm so grateful for the care I received and for the amazing support from my Ol. Indescribably happy to be home and back with my two delicious babies and beautiful husband."

She went on to share a picture of herself in a hospital hugging a female medical professional. She captioned the shot: "I don't even know where to begin when it comes to this incredible woman. She was by my side for the birth of my son, supported me at home in those raw, early days, and scooped me back up without hesitation this week.

"I've called her more times than I can count, asking everything from 'is this poo the right colour?' to 'are my boobs going to blow off?' and never once did she make me feel silly or alone.

"She's made me feel seen, supported, capable, and confident when I needed it most. And she's made me laugh more times than I've cried, which is saying a lot. I truly adore her. She's been nothing short of an angel in my life."
