Cleaning expert Sophie Hinchliffe, better known as Mrs Hinch, provided an update on her health after being hospitalised with a blood clot just three weeks post-birth.
Cleaning expert Mrs Hinch, whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe, gave her fans an update on her health after she was hospitalised with a blood clot just three weeks after giving birth.
The 35-year-old shared her experience with her followers on Instagram after the medical emergency occurred on Thursday. Sophie filmed a video from her hospital bed to explain what had happened. She later reassured her fans that she was now at home with her family, including her husband and three sons. Posting a series of family photos, Sophie wrote: “They say that ‘gut feelings are guardian angels, listen to them’ … I couldn’t agree more. I’m home, Back where I belong. In our bubble, with our beautiful boys. Have a wonderful weekend everyone, lots of love to you all xxx.”
The post featured pictures of her sons – Ronnie, five, Lennie, three, and baby Vinnie, who was born just a month ago. Sophie also shared a sweet snap of herself holding her baby and looking happy and healthy. Earlier, when Sophie was still in the hospital, she wore a hospital gown and spoke openly to her followers about the health scare. She revealed she went to hospital after suffering from some worrying symptoms and had to have an operation. She reassured her followers that she was recovering but admitted it had been a tough 12 months.
She explained: “I’m not really sure where to start with this week guys. I’ve actually bumped into quite a few followers in hospital. So I just thought I’d update you a bit because I share a lot with you here. The good, the bad and the ugly. Anyway to cut a long story short, I had a blood clot in my groin / pelvis / leg area. I haven’t had one since 2018 and then another one decides to hit me three weeks postpartum. What a 12 months it’s been.”
Sophie became emotional as she revealed she had surgery. She told fans: “They managed to go in through my leg. They didn’t go through in my neck in the end. They hoovered out the blood clot and they hoovered my stents out. They’ve literally hoovered me which is ironic isn’t it? I think I’ve still got quite a lot of painkillers or anesthetic in my system so I’m probably not making sense.”
The mum explained her hopes to be able to leave hospital the following day. In a new update, the social media sensation revealed she will be discharged today and be able to recover at home with her family. Alongside a photo of her with her children, Sophie explained: “Hurry up tomorrow. When I’ll be back home to this. Just a reminder… ALWAYS trust your gut. You know your own body.”
While in her hospital bed, Sophie opened up on how she was struggling being away from her young family. She admitted: “I cannot wait to just pick up Vinnie – that newborn smell. I’m swear I’m getting withdrawal symptoms from him.” However, she had been able to keep in touch with her boys as she explained: “I’ve had a lovely FaceTime with the boys, that was amazing, and I should be back home in my newborn bubble with my little family tomorrow.
“I got put through a CT scan and they said there’s no blood clot, you can go home. I went home; my leg got bigger and bigger. I came back to a different hospital and they scanned me and said we need to operate, you’ve got a big blood clot. How mad is that? And that keeps playing on my mind. What if I didn’t come back? Just trust your gut guys. Trust your bloody gut. Anyway over and out from me and blood clot. I can’t wait to wake up in the morning and get home.”
