The last few days have been pretty up & down, still not out of the woods yet ✨ I have been diagnosed with ‘Preeclampsia’ after my local midwife spotted the signs at my appointment yesterday 🌸Thankyou everyone for all your messages of love & concern, I’m seeing the head consultant tomorrow to see what the next steps are.
Now, a rep for the couple has confirmed that Cara has gone into early labour, saying:
I can confirm that due to the pre eclampsia diagnosis, Cara Delahoyde-Massey has been admitted to hospital to be induced early for the safety of her and her baby. Her husband Nathan is with her in hospital at this time. I will keep you informed if there’s any further developments.
Meanwhile,Nathantook to his Instagram story on Sunday to share a video of Cara in the early stages of labour, before heading home to watch a film with son Freddie-George. Cara didn't seem too impressed with her hubby sharing the footage though, as she reposted it to her own story with the caption 'Why!?'.
What is pre-eclampsia?
Pre-eclampsia is a condition which is experienced by around 6% of pregnant women. It is often mild but it can have serious complications if left untreated. The first symptoms of pre-eclampsia include high blood pressure and protein in the urine. It can also cause swelling, headaches, and pain below the ribs.
