Aimee revealed she was hospitalised on Sunday after developing sepsis, a life-threatening condition caused by the body's overwhelming response to an infection.
The new mum explained that she had been experiencing mastitis - where your breast becomes swollen, hot and painful. It is most common in breastfeeding women.
Aimee shared: "Thank you all for you kind messages. Little update, I am still in hospital after being admitted on Sunday and developing sepsis.
"There's still a lot of unanswered questions and things to get a hold on, so when I can I'll be more open and I'll be looking into working with mastitis charities to spread awareness on it."
The presenter continued: "We know how underfunded women's health is, but seriously things have got to change.
"If men produced milk, pushing through the pain of a blocked duct, mastitis etc wouldn't be a thing.
"If anyone works for/knows charities or companies, let me know as I'd love to touch base once this is all over."
Aimee said she was struggling to be apart from her daughter, Charli Carter.

She added: "Not being with your baby in the first month of their life is the most unnatural and abnormal thing.
"Literally count down the minutes in the morning till she gets here and dread her leaving at night.
"But focusing all my energy on getting better for her.
"Lastly to my superhuman husband, thank you. Without you, I would have broken."
What is mastitis?
Mastitis is a condition which causes a woman's breast tissue to become inflamed and painful.
It's most common in breastfeeding mums, in the first three months after giving birth.
In breastfeeding women, it's often caused by a build-up of milk - because the baby is having problems latching on.
Symptoms include:
A red, swollen area which feels hot and painful to touch
A breast lump or area of hardness
A burning pain which is either continuous or only occurs during breastfeeding
Nipple discharge - which may be white or contain streaks of blood
Flu-like symptoms - including aches, a fever, chills and tiredness.
If you have these symptoms, speak to your GP straight away.
Sepsis is a serious complication of an infection, which can lead to multiple organ failure and even death if left untreated.
In June, Aimee announced that she'd given birth after missing the Summertime Ball.
The daytime radio presenter shared the exciting news on Instagram after being noticeably absent from the huge concert.
Sharing a photo from last year's bash alongside Sonny Jay and Jimmy Hill, Aimee apologised for the absence but noted she had a great excuse why she couldn't make it.
"Wishing my @capitalofficial & all of you an amazing Summertime ball day 🧡," she wrote.
"Sad to miss it but as you might of guessed by my silence on here, our new little addition has arrived so we have very much been in our newborn love bubble."
"Swapping backstage at Wembley for watching on YouTube with milk in one hand and a nappy in the other this year 👶🏼," she joked, before promising an "update on the baby soon".
Aimee announced that she was expecting her first baby back in February, sharing a black and white video of her holding a cake that said "coming soon".
In front of the cake was a pair of baby booties and a pregnancy scan.
This is Aimee's first baby with her husband, who remains out of the spotlight.
She has been part of the team on Capital FM for the past 10 years, currently hosting alongside Sonny Jay.

She went on maternity leave just three weeks ago, joking: "BRB off to go birth another listener 👶🏼🍼"
"Another life chapter done, Be back on air soon x" she added on a post, which praised her co-workers and family for their support during her pregnancy.

'After David's ongoing fever and cough led us to the ER, we got results that have completely shattered our world. 'It's devastating and life-altering, and we're trying to navigate through the emotions and uncertainty that come with it.' A photo accompanying the message shows David in a gown while lying in a hospital bed and hooked up to oxygen.

About nine out of 10 head and neck cancers start in squamous cells - cells that line the surfaces inside the head and neck, such as the mouth, nose and throat. Common bacteria in the mouth can 'melt up to 99% of cancer cells' and could lead to new treatments But many people might be more familiar with squamous cell carcinoma of the skin - one of the most common forms of skin cancer. "However, SCC can also develop in other parts of that body that contain squamous cells such as the mouth and throat, lungs and cervix. "In the mouth, throat, SCC is often caused by smoking or exposure to the HPV [human papillomavirus]." The main risk factors for head and neck cancer are smoking and alcohol, especially when combined, Macmillan Cancer Support says. HPV is a group of viruses affecting the skin that don't cause problems for most people but can develop genital warts or cancer - their link to cervical cancer is well documented. But certain high-risk strains of HPV can also cause Head and neck cancer is also much more common in men than in women. In the UK, almost 13,000 cases are diagnosed each year, making it the 8th most common cancer, and there are 4,143 deaths. Cancer Research UK says that since the early 1990s, head and neck cancer incidence rates have increased by more than a third (35 per cent). 4 Watch out for these signs and speak to your doctor or dentist if you see them Rates in females have increased by almost half (47 per cent), and rates in males have increased by almost a quarter (23 per cent). University of Sheffield scientists in collaboration with the Department of Health and Social Care in 2024 made the same warning, saying that the surge in these diseases was largely driven by an uptick in . Figures show there were 3,834 new cases of oropharyngeal cancer in 2019, a 47 per cent increase from 2013. "There has been an increase in the number of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers in the last two decades, particularly in males," the Sheffield researchers noted. HPV is passed on through close skin-to-skin contact during sex, as well as vaginal, anal and oral sex, the NHS says. Ali Khurram, a professor and honorary consultant pathologist at the University of Sheffield, said: "Although head and neck cancer is one of the most common cancers in England with a significantly worse survival compared to other cancers, its awareness among the public, health professionals and funding organisations is poor." Symptoms to watch for The symptoms depend on where the cancer started in the head or neck. Dr Kentley says: "In non-skin SCC, symptoms can include pain, difficulty swallowing, a lump in the throat or bleeding when coughing. If you experience any of these symptoms it is important to see a doctor." An ulcer anywhere in the mouth area, including your tongue, lasting for more than three weeks A red patch (erythroplakia) or red and white patch (erythroleukoplakia) anywhere inside the mouth A white patch on its own (leukoplakia) anywhere inside the mouth A lump in the neck that does not go away after two to three weeks A lump on the lip or anywhere inside the mouth that doesn't go away A sore tongue that is not getting better Throat pain, persistent Macmillan Cancer says certain symptoms will see you referred to a specialist within two weeks, such as a persistent ulcer. Any of the symptoms can be caused by conditions other than cancer. But it's important to seek advice about any of them. Cancer is always more easily treatable if it's spotted early. Skin cancer A squamous cell carcinoma is a type of cancer that can occur in a number of parts of the body, including the skin. Squamous cell carcinoma SCC accounts for 23 per cent of all non-melanma skin cancers, which account for 90 per cent of all cancers. Symptoms of his disease typically start on the skin, however - but can be mistaken for spots, age spots or scabs. Dr Kentley said: "In the skin, early signs of SCC can be quite subtle such as a scaly bump or a spot that isn't healing. "Left unchecked the lesions can grow causing pain and bleeding, and even spread to other parts of your body causing swelling in the lymph nodes (found in the neck, armpits and groin) or even the lung which can cause breathlessness or liver which can cause stomach pain. "For skin SCC, around 95 per cent of cases can be cured with surgery to remove the lesion, however in five per cent of cases, SCC requires other treatments such as radiotherapy, immunotherapy or chemotherapy." What are the symptoms of a squamous cell carcinoma originating from the skin? Symptoms can include: A firm bump on the skin, called a nodule. The nodule might be the same color as the skin, or it might look different. It can look pink, red, black or brown, depending on skin color. A flat sore with a scaly crust, or a new sore or raised area on an old scar or sore. A rough, scaly patch on the lip that may become an open sore, or a sore or rough patch inside the mouth. A raised patch or wartlike sore on or in the anus or on the genitals. Mayo Clinic advises people should see a doctor if a sore or scab doesn't heal in about two months or if a flat patch of scaly skin doesn't go away
