A REALITY star has revealed she had to rush her newborn baby to hospital, as she described the ordeal as being "in the trenches’.
Emma Connolly - who is married to Made In Chelsea star Oliver Proudlock - revealed the family's tough week, which saw both her young children rushed to the ER.
The couple share two children, Levi who was born in March, and Bonnie Lou, three.
Today, Emma - who also appeared in Made In Chelsea briefly - revealed how both children had been poorly with a sickness bug, which saw them go to the doctors and then the ER.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, the exhausted mum told fans: "Oh my god, this week has been insane. It's hard. It's really hard to kids.
"And we've had sick bugs, we've been at the GP, we've been at the hospital, we've been to A&E.
"It has been a week. So, just so you know."
Emma explained more in a caption over the video, which read: "Hanging on by a THREAD.
"Both kids have had sick bugs, we have slept for about 7 seconds, my boobs feel like they are about to blow off and just here to say THIS IS HARD and to anyone else in the trenches I am with you.
"It's so tough when your little ones are sick and all you want to do is take their pain away and help them feel 110% again.
"It's hard on both of them, but especially challenging with Levi since he can't express what he's feeling.
"Thankfully, both kids are now back to full health and we're so grateful!!!
"Now for a big sleep. Good luck and god speed to anyone else in the trenches and I'll see you on the flipsde!"
BABY NO. 2
Emma and husband Proudlock welcomed Levi in March.
Announcing the news, proud dad Proudlock said: "He’s here. Our hearts are fuller, our home louder, and our arms forever occupied.
"Levi Fox Proudlock, the perfect piece to complete our family of four."
The couple are already parents to daughter Bonnie Lou, who was born in May 2022.
Oliver and Emma began dating in 2014 after she messaged him on social media about his earring after he'd appeared on Made In Chelsea.
They announced their engagement in August 2018 after Oliver got down on one knee during a romantic trip to Gothenburg, Sweden.
The pair's wedding was postponed due to Covid lockdown regulations in 2020, with them eventually tying the knot during a small church ceremony in Fulham, London, on December 15 2020.
