symptoms

MOLLY-MAE Hague has opened up about her second pregnancy as she revealed the “irritating” symptoms she’s experiencing.

The influencer, 26, announced that she and Tommy Fury are expecting their second child together – and she is already six months pregnant.

Molly returned to her YouTube vlogs to share an update for the first time since the big reveal, but admitted that it was the “worst kept secret”.

She said: “I don’t really know how we got here, but I’m pregnant, legitimately the worst kept secret.

“But that’s honestly my own fault because towards the end, I got really lazy trying to hide it. We weren’t even trying to hide it. We were at a spa over the weekend and I was openly saying to people that ‘I’m pregnant’, to the staff.

“I wasn’t even trying to hide it.”

Moment Tommy Fury almost exposed Molly-Mae’s secret pregnancy

Before filming her sweet black and white pregnancy announcement clip with Tommy and daughter Bambi, Molly said she was tempted to just put out a simple statement to confirm the pregnancy news.

She continued: “We still in this current moment, we don’t have anything filmed, I felt like posting a black statement on my Instagram saying ‘Yes, I am pregnant’, we don’t even have anything to post.

“But I am pregnant, but plot twist I’m five and a half months.

“I haven’t really been documenting anything, it’s been so different this time, it’s just feels really chilled and I feel really at peace weirdly.

“I feel very content, I don’t feel like I’m trying to capture stuff for content.

“I just feel like this is happening and it’s really special and nice.”

Molly-Mae then reveled her pregnancy symptoms – including irritated skin, snoring and and shortness of breathe.

She said: “One of my symptoms is my skin, my eczema, my skin is so so irritated and flared.

“It was the same in my last pregnancy, I’m just struggling with little things to hide it.

“I’m constantly out of breathe as you guys have noticed in my videos. I’ve got quite a full on bump which you guys have seen in my last video in all the reflections.

“What I will say, I absolutely love you sticking up for me saying ‘stop talking about her body’, luckily for me I don’t get affected by stuff like that.

“I am pregnant and yeah my body is changing and there are differences visibly emotionally, mentally, physically.

“There are so many changes in me, you guys know me so well and you know that something has not been clicking.”

Molly continued: “It sounds like I’ve got a rotten cold and one of my symptoms has been congestion.

“I woke up this morning to an empty bed and Tommy wasn’t there and I came into the spare room and said I was snoring so loudly.”

Molly added: “I’m so lucky to say that I’ve had a really amazing pregnancy, I’m so beyond blessed that I’ve had a very smooth experience.

“I don’t get sick, I’ve not had symptoms that are debilitating, I can kind of pretty much crack on as usual, which is amazing for me because I’m not one of those women, you amazing women out there that have horrendous morning sickness and still get up and get your things done.

“Best believe if I felt like that, I’d be done for, the whole world would hear about it.”

BABY REVEAL

Molly-Mae confirmed last week that she’s actually six months pregnant already.

Taking to Instagram on Friday, she shared a snap from her L’Oreal catwalk in late September and wrote above it: “Little baby with me in this moment…and I didn’t even know.”

She also reshared her pregnancy announcement video and wrote below it: Nearly 6 months on and it still hasn’t sunk in.”

Molly-Mae then shared a video from last weekend showing her growing bump in a black top and jogger bottoms as partner Tommy bent down to kiss her stomach.

The Influencer, who also has three-year-old daughter Bambi with Tommy, had filmed her pregnancy reveal video on January 23, and captioned it: “Soon to be four.”

However, some fans had guessed she was pregnant the week before, when they spotted her reflection in the window of one of her videos.

Molly dropped various clues about her pregnancy before announcing the news, which is said to have strengthened her relationship with Tommy after they got back together early last year.

A source told The Sun: “Finding out Molly is pregnant has really helped bring them close together again.

“Tommy is determined to do things right this time he has cancelled all of his summer trips with his friends, as he wants to stand by Molly every step of the way.

“Their new home is in a better place for both of them and has more than enough space for two children.”

The couple quietly broke the news to family and close pals months ago, but shared the surprise video with their fans last week.

Molly posted a sweet black and white clip on Instagram filmed on January 23, captioning it: “Soon to be four.”

It included their three-year-old daughter Bambi together, who they welcomed in 2023, excitedly wearing a “big sister” jumper.

Molly-Mae spoke candidly about hopes to expand her family with boxer Tommy during the first instalment of her Amazon Prime documentary, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, which aired to viewers last year.

Opening up about the future, she revealed: “All I want in this life is to be with him, and to have another baby with him, and to grow old as a family. And to live in a nice house together and have a nice life together. That’s all I want.”

Feb. 3 (UPI) — Sen. Mitch McConnell was hospitalized Monday night after experiencing what his spokesperson said were “flu-like symptoms” over the weekend.

The 83-year-old Republican of Kentucky checked himself into a local hospital out of “an abundance of caution,” his spokesperson, David Popp, told Axios in a statement on Tuesday.

“His prognosis is positive and he is grateful for the excellent care he is receiving,” Popp said. “He is in regular contact with his staff and looks forward to returning to Senate business.”

Popp issued the statement after McConnell missed Senate votes on Monday and Tuesday.

The longtime Republican leader, a polio survivor who turns 84 later this month, announced nearly a year ago that he would not seek re-election in 2026 and would retire at the end of his term.

The health of McConnell has raised concerns about his future in the Senate following a series of falls and hospitalizations over the last few years.

In August 2019, McConnell suffered a fractured shoulder from a fall at his Kentucky home.

In March 2023, he was hospitalized for a concussion sustained in a fall at a Washington, D.C., hotel.

Prior to announcing his retirement, McConnell froze twice during press conferences, leading to concerns about him suffering from possible medical issues. He has not frozen in such a public manner since, but Politico reported that he is often seen needing assistance moving about the Capitol.

At more than 40 years of service, McConnell is the 10th longest-serving senator in U.S. history.

The contagious infection can cause similar symptoms to sea sickness

Holidaymakers aboard The Balmoral cruise ship claimed they were forced to quarantine themselves amid an outbreak of gastroenteritis. However, some passengers claimed the reports were overstated and most people actually had sea sickness. What is the difference between the two conditions?

Passengers reported regular tannoy messages warning about increasing cases of people with gastroenteritis symptoms. Fred Olsen Cruises’ director of health services, Kate Bunyan, told The Shetland Times that measures were introduced to reduce transmission onboard before the ship docked in Southhampton on Friday, January 30th. The ship’s next departure will also be delayed to facilitate a thorough deep clean while it’s in port, according to Chronicle Live.

Gastroenteritis

Gastroenteritis is a highly contagious bacterial or viral infection that causes diarrhoea and vomiting. It’s particularly common in young children but can affect anyone at any age.

The symptoms can be incredibly unpleasant but usually resolves itself within a week according to NHS Inform. People with signs of gastroenteritis are advised not to go to their GP to avoid spreading the disease and to call 111 or their GP instead.

Symptoms:

• Sudden, watery diarrhoea
• Feeling sick
• Vomiting which may be projectile
• Mild fever
• Loss of appetite, headaches and aching limbs are less common

There’s no specific treatment for gastroenteritis. People may have to simply let the illness run its course while getting plenty of fluids and rest.

Sea sickness

Sea sickness is a type of motion sickness that can cause similar symptoms to gastroenteritis but it is not contagious and can usually be relieved with a few simple actions rather than medication. It’s common to reaction to an unfamiliar motion, such as when travelling by boat.

It happens when the inner ear sense motion but the eyes don’t, leaving the brain with conflicting messages about what’s going on. For example, if you look at a stationary object such as land while travelling on a rocking boat, your inner ear will pick up motion that your eyes aren’t seeing.

Symptoms:

• Dizziness
• Feeling sick (nausea)
• Vomiting
• Headache
• Feeling cold and going pale
• Sweating

Pharmacists can recommend remedies to prevent motion sickness such as tablets, patches and acupressure bands. While experiencing sea sickness, there are a few ways to relieve the symptoms depending on what the cause is.

The NHS recommends sitting in the middle of the boat where there’s less motion and looking straight ahead at a fixed point like the horizon. Fresh air and focusing on taking slow, deep breaths can also help.
