“Bleeding, back ache, sore nipples & still looking pregnant 🤰🏻 no one tells you these bits (but it’s so worth it )”.
Cara went into an early labour on Saturday after being diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, which is a complication of blood pressure affecting pregnant women.
Her rep told The Sun at the time: "Due to the pre eclampsia diagnosis, Cara has been admitted to hospital to be induced early for the safety of her and her baby.
"Her husband Nathan is with her in hospital at this time."
Luckily, the baby girl safely arrived as Cara’s representative confirmed she welcomed her second child at 5.45am on Tuesday.
They said in a statement: "The Can Group are pleased to announce that Cara Delahoyde-Massey and her husband Nathan have given birth to a beautiful baby girl at Darenth Valley Hospital at 5:45am on July 28th, 2020.
"Mum and baby are both doing well, and the couple would like to thank the hospital for the amazing care, and a special thanks to their midwife Teresa."
Proud Nathan then went on to call his wife a ‘hero’, as he praised her in a video message to his followers.
