Opening up to followers, she said: “These were the last pictures taken of me pregnant. I gave birth to our baby girl on Wednesday morning, Our hearts are exploding with love. And I’m completely overwhelmed by the tiredness.
“The initiation into motherhood has been unlike anything I could have imagined. I’m just trying to keep my head above water. I’ll share more in the coming days, but for now, we’re deep in the ‘newborn trenches,’ as they say.” Caggie continued: “Everyone told me to take photos while pregnant because I’d regret it if I didn’t. At the time, I really didn’t feel like being in front of a camera… but I’m so glad we captured these, the day before she arrived.
“I already miss her being in my belly—the safety, the unity. It’s been replaced with a constant undercurrent of worry and anxiety.
“I remember someone once described this part as “your heart now living outside your chest”—and I’m learning what that really means.”
She ended her post: “Every cry pierces deeply. Every feed touches a part of you you didn’t know existed. It’s a brutal awakening, a maddening kind of magic. I can’t believe I’m a mum.”
Friends and fas were over the moon with the news, with Kirsty Gallagher writing: “Love you. And her. So proud of you Mamma,” and another adding: “It’s a wild and beautiful ride – so excited and happy for you, Angel.”
Annalie Howling posted: “Congratulations. your honesty is so powerful. The volume of love and the fears that can come with it absolutely caught me by surprise.
“Please be super kind and gentle with yourself. None of us know what we are doing but you are leading with love and she is safe. You are already an amazing Mummy.”
Caggie first announced her pregnancy news in a post shared online in February. “It still feels surreal to say,” she said at the time.
“Pregnancy has been a wild ride, and in just three months, we’ll be meeting this new little soul. I keep looking at my tummy grow and am in awe of my body and of women and what we do and what we create, It’s pure magic.”
