Radio host Katie Thistleton has revealed that she was rushed for “emergency surgery” a few days ago just weeks after giving birth. She’s recalled having been in “insane” pain with a health issue.
Katie, 35, who had shared that she was pregnant last year, announced the birth of her son Reuben last month.
She posted: “So I’m 6 weeks postpartum today and was so excited to be officially recovered from c section and drive again etc but ended up having emergency surgery on my ovary a couple of days ago for a 16cm (huge) cyst that had twisted the ovary and tube. Guys when I tell you the pain was insane if they’d offered to shoot me in the head I’d have taken it. Luckily they managed to save the ovary after thinking it might need to go.”
In an update, she wrote: “And I’m now back home with my lads but livid to be back to square recovery wise. Big up surgeons!”
The news comes just weeks after Katie announced the birth of her son Reuben. She wrote last month: “Reuben Alexander Harris was born on the 6th March and he is THE CUTEST THING EVER. The love I feel for my incredible husband and this little tiny person we’ve made is almost too much for me to bear.
“I feel complete! And so grateful for our family and friends. And so in awe of/want to give a big hug to all the parents I know. And SO impressed with obstetricians and paediatricians and midwives.”
Katie added: “I will never be able to put into words the feeling I felt when I first saw him. We are loving our sweet little new life together as a family of 3 and feeling so very blessed. Ps. Reuben means ‘behold, a son’ and he was born to the Beatles ‘’here comes the sun’. obsessed.”
