‘I was screaming for my sister to call me an ambulance’: Molly-Mae Hague details ‘traumatising’ first week as a new mum in emotional video

Molly-Mae Hague has revealed she carries ‘trauma’ from her first week as a new mum in a YouTube Q&A on Sunday.

The Love Island star, 23, who welcomed her her daughter Bambi with boyfriend Tommy Fury in January, explained how she was left screaming for an ambulance.

She revealed she was unable to sleep for five days and nights and couldn’t eat because she was so ‘unwell’.

Speaking to her fans in a candid 11 minute video, Molly-Mae said: ‘Maybe when I look back now, it sounds dramatic and it sounds intense, but I guess I do have a bit of trauma from the first few [weeks].’

‘When I look back at the first few weeks… traumatised is a really strong word, but I am slightly when I look back at the first few weeks when she came home.’

Scary: The Love Island star, 23, who welcomed her her daughter Bambi with boyfriend Tommy Fury in January, explained how she was left screaming for an ambulance

‘I was actually really, really unwell in the first week, I didn’t sleep at all for five straight days and first straight nights.

‘I physically couldn’t eat, every time I had the opportunity to go and sleep when my sister was watching her, I felt physically sick every time I tried to sleep. My body couldn’t understand that I was letting it rest.’

Opening up, Molly-Mae explained she suffered from extreme constipation after giving birth, that she said was worse than labour.

She said: ‘This is TMI but in the first two weeks I suffered with severe constipation. That constipation that I experienced in the first week was actually harder than my labour.

‘The constipation made me so, so, so unwell in the first week. I was actually at one point in the shower, with Zoe stood outside the shower, I was crouching down in the shower and I was that constipated that I was screaming for her to call me an ambulance.

‘It had been probably about nine days and I hadn’t been for a poo. This is so TMI but I’m just going to be completely real, the feeling was like taking over my whole body, I was literally going green.’

She added: ‘I physically couldn’t, from the vaginal birth I was so messed up down there in that region and I had actually lost all ability down there to push.

‘That was something I was not prepared for. I also had a severe urine infection, I was just a complete mess.’

Elsewhere in the video, Molly-Mae broke down in tears as she said she was scared of what people would say if she opened up about her first two months as a mother.

She said: ‘I feel like there’s just so much to say and so much to talk about that I literally don’t know where to start.

‘I don’t feel like I’m being myself, and I don’t know why I’m getting upset but I feel like I’m questioning everything I’m saying and what are people going to think if I say that.’

Becoming emotional, she added: ‘Nothing I say is making sense. My brain is jumbled and I don’t feel like myself.

‘It’s not that I need more time to come back because I do feel ready to come back and want more than anything to come back to YouTube.

‘I want it more than anything but maybe I’ve left it too long and I have so much to say that I feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to begin.’

She also said she was ‘run down’ and struggling to recover from her cold because of ‘mum life.’

Molly-Mae told fans she wanted to fill them in on ‘what I’ve been going through and what I’ve been struggling with’

The influencer said that motherhood has come naturally to her and says she’s ‘a good mum to Bambi’

She went on to say: ‘Becoming a mum is the best thing to ever happen to me but it is also the hardest thing that has ever happened to me.

‘I have found it really really hard, the one word to describe it, to describe the past two months would be overwhelming.

‘Every single day you can’t believe the 360 your life has taken, it is a very hard thing to wrap your head around, it is the biggest life change that no one can prepare you for.’

Molly’s sister Zoe was quick to comment on the video, penning: ‘You’re the most incredible Mumma, every single person is behind you Mols. We love you so much and you should be so proud of yourself xxx’

Her fans were extremely supportive in the comment section, with one sayin: ‘This is why I love Molly. She’s so real with us all. I hope she knows it’s completely okay to take a break from interacting with us to focus on herself’

Many also felt they could relate to Molly, with one fan penning: ‘I’m a first time mum and my newborn is 4 weeks old so I relate to this video so much!! You are an inspiration, and so real and that’s what people need. You’re an amazing mum’

Another said: ‘Listening to Molly invalidate herself is so sad. Many women experience trauma, ptsd and the baby blues after birth.

‘Women’s health is something that is painted in a way that is not reflective of how intense child bearing and birthing is. You’re doing great Molly, keep spreading awareness x’

Another said: ‘Mommy to mommy, everything you’ve said in this video is so relatable & completely normal, you’re not alone, we love you Mol’

Professional boxer Tommy beat nemesis Jake Paul on points in Saudi Arabia a month ago – earning him a reported £3.7million.

He said at the time that the fight was tough on Molly-Mae, with the influencer forced to remain at home with their young daughter while he flew to the Arabian Peninsula with elder brother Tyson Fury and his team.

Molly said: ‘I am so happy and grateful and lucky that Tommy is back home properly now and we are doing it as a team. Things have been so much better and easier.’

When talking about motherhood being ‘the hardest job in the world’, Molly said: ‘I am so happy and grateful and lucky that Tommy is back home properly now and we are doing it as a team. Things have been so much better and easier.

‘I almost feel like the day he got home from Saudi Arabia from the fight, it sounds crazy but it was almost better than the day Bambi was born.

‘The day Bambi was born was the best day of my entire life but I knew our journey as a family hadn’t started yet because Tommy was gone, you know we weren’t a family and I knew we wouldn’t be until he was back.

‘The first four weeks of Bambi’s life I really did do a lot of it by myself, I was home alone with her, I pushed a lot of people away, all of my family and friends wanted to be around but I just wanted Tommy or I didn’t want anyone.’
