Speaking on her new
She confessed: 'I wish somebody had warned me about the baby blues, because oh my God, that hormone drop once I got home from hospital — I was crying for no reason.
'It would get to 6pm, 7pm and I'd just burst into tears. I was scared of going to bed, I didn't want to be alone.'
The reality TV favourite added: 'It was very strange, but thankfully that passed after a week or so. But nobody warned me. I wish someone had spoken to me about that. It wasn't fun.'

And it wasn't just the hormones keeping Holly up at night — she was plagued with anxiety over Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), and found herself obsessively checking on Alpha-Jax.

'I worried about febrile seizures and all these things you don't really hear about until you have social media,' she admitted.
'It's great for advice but it also shows you loads of terrifying stuff.
'I thought SIDS was really common. I was absolutely terrified thinking one day he might just stop breathing. I even used an Owlet sock that tracked his breathing, oxygen and heart rate because I'm such an anxious person.'

Holly also opened up about the challenges of parenting a 'high-temperament' child and said it's taken her two whole years to feel like she's finally cracked motherhood.
'I've made no secret that it's been a difficult journey with him since he was about four months old,' she said.
'I'm finally getting into the swing of it, but it's taken a long time. Motherhood completely turns your life upside down.'

Young woman, 20, paralysed after horror balcony fall on dream holiday
A young woman has broken her back after falling from a second-floor balcony at her hotel in the Greek island of Rhodes. Holly Seaford travelled to the island for a holiday with her partner last week before she fell from the high balcony in a freak accident in the early hours of the morning on Wednesday, July 9. The 20-year-old, from Ystrad Mynach in Wales, fractured four vertebrae and is unable to move in hospital while medics struggle to treat her, reports Wales Online. Doctors have told her boyfriend Tate Crees, who is with her in Rhodes, that it will be two months before Holly can move again. Tate said: "She is lying flat in a hospital bed in a back brace unable to move or walk. Doctors have told us it'll be at least six to eight weeks before she can start to regain mobility. This is going to be a very difficult process." Holly's sister Briony said the family can't afford to get Holly back to Wales themselves and have asked for support to fundraise for her repatriation. She said: "She's in a lot of pain and is bedbound. The last I heard they'd given her paracetamol. They can't effectively look after her there." The couple were due to fly back from Rhodes on the day Holly fell from the balcony. Tate said: "Although the medical care in Greece is good, the hospital sadly doesn't have any nursing support available. "This means Holly is without help for even the most basic daily needs, which is having a serious impact on her wellbeing. "We are desperate to get her home to the UK where she can receive the professional nursing care and rehabilitation she urgently requires. "But medical repatriation is incredibly expensive, especially as the only way Holly can fly home is on a stretcher. She requires a specialist medical flight with trained staff to monitor her throughout the journey and unfortunately this isn't covered by insurance." As of Sunday morning, nearly £7,000 (approximately €8,000) of the £10,000 target had already been raised to support Holly and her family. You can see the fundraiser here.

He is said to have been drinking on the rented boat before falling and cutting himself. The Brit was taken to Son Espases Hospital in the Majorcan capital Palma. Elsewhere, another in the Netherlands. Advertisement Ben Roberts, 24, suffered a fractured skull when he fell His mother Kerry said: "I can't describe our loss, we are heartbroken. "As Ben's mum, part of me died the day he did." What to do if you're injured on holiday No one sets off on holiday expecting to be injured, but it's vital to be aware of what to do if accidents happen. If you booked a package holiday, then your tour operator or organiser should have measures in place to help you if you fall ill or are injured. But if you book your own travel and accommodation, it's especially vital to have travel insurance in place. Uninsured travellers can end up facing vast medical and repatriation expenses if the worst happens. The most comprehensive travel insurance plans can help cover medical emergencies and sometimes support in returning home if needed. Citizens Advice website says: "It's particularly important to take out travel insurance if you are travelling independently because you may find yourself stranded with no way to get home and no-one to help sort out your holiday problem."
