‘The doctors came in after the birth and said I had spinal fluid leakage from the epidural, so I might get some bad headaches, and then they discharged me.
‘The next day I couldn’t get out of bed. I was breastfeeding, so Dane would bring her into me and I would give her what I could laying down on my side, because I couldn’t even sit up to hold her, and then she’d be taken back out.
Thankfully Casey, who was previously praised for her honesty about her post-baby body, is back to normal now and she and Dane have been enjoying life as new parents.
‘You just have this uncontrollable love for a little human’ she said. Small menial things don’t really matter any more, because you’ve got a human to look after.’
