This Morning star Alice Liveing reveals she had to go to hospital for bleeding only weeks after giving birth

This Morning star, fitness influencer Alice Liveing shared a photograph of herself in hospital, only five weeks after giving birth to her first child Jeannie. She wrote: “Not the news I wanted today, but wanted to share in case it’s helpful or makes anyone else get theirs checked.”

Alice Liveing went on to say that “I had some unusual post birth bleeding over the last week or so, and saw my GP who referred me for a scan. Turns out I have some ‘retained products’ and am now waiting for the plan of action to deal with this.

“It’s these little things you often try and ‘write off’ as being normal post having a baby that it can be worth getting checked. I’m sadly outside the 28 day window of receiving triage care from the hospital hence needing to go down the GP route but I’m glad I did and will keep you posted with next steps for anyone else who might be experiencing similar.”

Three hours ago, Alice Liveing took to Instagram and wrote: “Sharing the lesson I need to hear myself today 🤍

“I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling like I should be doing more right now. Social media doesn't help with me feeling like there are others in the exact same stage as me who seem to be out and about, and doing things that feel so far out of reach from where we are right now.

“So this morning I googled how long the average female lifespan is in the UK (which god willing is a lucky goal I realise), and then the % of a newborns life of this.

“Turns out just as everyone says, you blink and this stage is gone.

“So now is not my time for busy.

“Or my time for doing any more than I can manage.

“Things will return in their own time.

But I'll never be able to get these days back.

“And I don't want to ever look back and regret not soaking up every second of her being this tiny and squishy.

“So yes, I hope this is a helpful share for anyone who needs the reassurance that slowing down is ok. Lean in to the cosy days and know our time will come for other things but it isn't right now 🤍.”

In response, one fan wrote:”It’s such a cliche isn’t it and it feels FOREVER when you’re in it but it’s such a small small time and one day you’ll give anything to remember the exact feel of these days and their tiny little body melting into you x”

Another person wrote: “Lean into the slowness Alice! Especially if you ever would like to try for another as you won’t get this version of new born again with a toddler running around. Enjoy the lay ins, the cuddles, coffee and awful day time tv! get a little fresh air when you feel like it ❤️.”
