22 Kids and Counting star Chloe Radford has issued a ‘painful’ update to her fans just six days after welcoming her second child as she decided to share her ‘reality’
Chloe Radford has opened up to her fans as she gave a “painful” update. The 22 Kids and Counting star welcomed her second child last week as she introduced her followers to newborn baby Bodhi Reign.
She was already a proud mum to daughter Mila as she said: “Here’s to life as a family of 4!!! My heart is so full.” However, Chloe, the daughter of Sue and Noel Radford, has since admitted “everything seems to be all over the place”.
The reality TV star, 29, candidly opened up on her life as a family of four just days after giving birth to her child with security guard boyfriend Jacob Wallace. She filmed herself in pyjamas while making breakfast as she filled her fans in on the whirlwind few days.
Chloe said: “I feel like we’re still just trying to find our rhythm a little bit with everything and get a little routine going because everything just seems to be a bit all over the place.”
She pointed to piles of dirty dishes, and added: “Here’s a bit of reality.” Chloe continued: “Bodhi is doing great, I had a health visitor round yesterday and he’s only lost 5 ounces – he was 6 lb 1 oz.
“Breastfeeding is going really, really well. He’s taken to it really well, I’m really proud of us.” Despite the good news, Chloe admitted she has been feeling pain.
The TV star shared: “I’ve got one really sore boob. I put one of these on last night [a cooling pad], because I was really struggling to feed him on this side because it was just so painful.
“I had this on last night and it feels so much better, so I did actually manage to feed him again on that side.” Chloe then asked daughter Mila what she thinks of her baby brother, as she simply quipped: “Cute.”
The bakery manager of the family’s Radford Pie Company told the camera: “She’s been amazing with him, she just wants to cuddle him all the time. But yeah, I feel like we’re just trying to find our rhythm and a new routine. I look knackered. But yeah that’s the update.”
Chloe had kept fans updated throughout her pregnancy as she admitted it was “scary” and “nerve-wracking”. Taking to TikTok to update her 100,000 followers on her health, Chloe assured fans her baby was “absolutely fine”.
Yet, revealed she had been suffering with high blood pressure and had an induction date booked in as a result. She said: “Hey, guys, so update on where we’re at with pregnancy and everything like that.
“I went to the day assessment unit today and they were monitoring my blood pressure again and I was on the monitor as well. Baby boy is very happy in there – he’s absolutely fine.”
Explaining she didn’t know why her blood pressure was high, she continued: “My blood pressure – so they do it four times over the space of an hour – and it was ok the first two times and then the other two times it was high again.
“I don’t know why, because I was literally just sat relaxing, so I have no idea why.” She added: “And exciting news is that we have an induction date which is not far away.
“It’s really, really exciting, but it’s also really scary and nerve-racking. I know that we’ve really not got long now until we meet him and have him in our arms, so that’s exciting. That is obviously only if he doesn’t come beforehand, which I don’t think he will, to be honest.”
