Shaughna Phillips has described the most relatable hardships she had after having her first child.
The Love Island actress revealed on Thursday (April 6) that she had given birth to a beautiful baby girl.
The 28-year-old reality actress announced on Instagram that her daughter, Lucia, was born on Tuesday at 8:10 p.m., weighing 8lb 8oz.
‘My darling Lucia, I wish I had you sooner so I could love you longer ✨💗,’ she wrote.
As Shaughna adjusts to motherhood, she realises how difficult some duties can be, particularly nursing.
On Saturday, the influencer joked on her Instagram Story about how long it took her to pump just 50ml of breast milk for her infant.
‘This took blood, sweat and nearly tears’, she wrote, followed by a crying laughing emoji and a picture of the bottle.
In Shaughna’s message, the milk she had pumped was thick and yellow, as is common before’mature’ milk arrives.
Of course, nursing as a new mother may be difficult to adjust to, and many women struggle with it owing to the discomfort it can cause, supply concerns, or blood in the milk.
Fortunately, the social media sensation is surrounded by a slew of celebrities who congratulated her on Lucia’s birth.
‘Congratulations gorgeous girl 😍’, commented Vicky Pattison.
Tasha Ghouri wrote: ‘Congratulations beautiful!!🫶🏼🥹🤍’
Comedian Katherine Ryan added: ‘Yay she’s here! 💕 congratulations 🥂’
Billy Webb is the father of Shaughna’s child.
Billy, 29, was arrested and charged with possession with intent to provide a Class A substance in January, which strained their relationship.
Shaughna then made an impassioned statement about his incarceration and how it has affected her pregnancy.
‘After a challenging few weeks, obviously, the baby’s father isn’t around. But my main focus has always been just to prepare for the birth and try to be as calm as possible,’ she shared with OK!.
‘I’m good at just saying, “Right, the show must go on”.’
While Lucia’s second name has yet to be revealed, it appears she has adopted her father’s surname.
When she announced her pregnancy online, the expectant mother included the letters ‘LPW’ and a white love emoji, confirming her name will be Lucia Webb.
