The Made in Chelsea star had a devastating miscarriage in April 2022, making her anxious about having a baby with her footballer husband Cameron McGeehan.
Tiffany Watson bares her bump in a black bra and says she was ‘overwhelmed with anxiety’
Tiffany posted about the loss’s effects on her pregnancy and how she worried herself sane by Googling symptoms and reading “horror stories” on Instagram on Monday.
She posted several photos of her expanding belly while wearing a black bra and undone jeans, along with the captions: ‘The first trimester was such a worrying time for me.
‘Having been here before I knew what to expect but as my pregnancy progressed I started to also get symptoms I’d never had before.
‘Things like heartburn, racing heart, constipation, headaches. I kept googling symptoms like a mad woman, sending myself into panics, convincing myself something was wrong and reading horror stories.
‘I found myself totally overwhelmed with all the advice and stories which only made my anxiety worse. (Tip to anyone going through the same thing – try not to Google! Every little thing has stressed me out and worried me).
‘One of the worst parts of pregnancy anxiety is that you don’t want to admit you’re feeling it,’ she added.
She continued: ‘You just assume it’s morning sickness, tiredness, and that’s it? But I’ve experienced so many hormonal changes and changes to my body.
Tiffany then recommended the Peanut app, a community for new mothers to make friends and get support.
‘The worrying hasn’t gone away, but speaking to other women in the same situation really helps.’
Tiffany’s previous openness about her tragic 8-week miscarriage in April of last year is a testament to her strength and courage.
Though she hadn’t intended to get pregnant, the E4 beauty admitted she had grown “very attached to the baby” before learning at an early scan that her child had failed to grow.
A failed operation to remove the foetus was followed by pills to induce a miscarriage, which Tiffany told her co-star Olivia Bentley about.
The blonde beauty continued by saying that she had scheduled an early scan to “make sure everything’s fine,” but when the doctor was asked how far along she was supposed to be, he broke the devastating news.
