‘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.
