Influencer Molly-Mae Hague provided a humorous look at her late-night feeding sessions with her baby son, Midas, in a recent Instagram post. Hague and her partner, Tommy Fury, welcomed their son last month, and are also parents to daughter Bambi, who is three years old.
Hague has shared that she finds raising a newborn easier with Midas compared to her first child, but acknowledged that the midnight feedings were beginning to take a toll. In a video shared with her followers, she depicted Fury attempting to fit into her high heels, attributing the lighthearted moment to "delusion" brought on by sleep deprivation.
"If you don't laugh, you'll certainly cry," Hague commented on the video, which showed her feeding her son.
Hague also recently spoke about her certainty that she is finished having children, a sentiment that has reportedly caused friction with her in-laws. Reports suggest that Fury's family feels excluded since Midas's birth, and that cultural differences are contributing to difficulties in blending their families. A source indicated that there have been ongoing discussions regarding family expectations and the amount of time Fury's family spends with the children.
The same source claimed that Hague's comments about not wanting more children have been poorly received by Fury's family, as they noted that within the Travelling community, having a large family is considered the norm. However, a source close to Hague has denied any rift.
Hague expressed contentment with having two children, stating, "I just feel like I'm ready to stop at two. So, the fact that we were blessed with a boy and we have a son. We couldn't be luckier and I couldn't be happier."
Reflecting on her experience as a first-time mother with Bambi, Hague candidly described mourning her old life and struggling significantly in the initial six months. She described feeling like a different person postpartum this time around, contrasting it with her experience with Bambi, where she believes she experienced postpartum depression for the first three to six months.
"I honestly cannot remember a lot of that time with Bambi and feel like I've completely blurred it from my memory and tried to forget in a sad way," she stated. "I was so out of my depth. I felt like I didn't have a clue what I was doing."
Hague added that, in her opinion, the mental impact of going from zero to one child cannot be compared to going from one to two children.
Postpartum depression is a mood disorder that can occur during pregnancy or up to a year after childbirth, with symptoms including persistent sadness, anxiety, difficulty bonding with the baby, and feelings of worthlessness. PANDAS offers support for families affected by postnatal depression.
