Molly-Mae Hague shares emotional reason she won’t have any more children after newborn Midas
Molly-Mae Hague has opened up about the reality of life with two young children, admitting she reckons her newborn son Midas will be her last baby.
The 27-year-old welcomed Midas with boxer and fellow Love Island alum Tommy Fury in early June, three years after the couple became parents to daughter Bambi.
Now, just 10 weeks into life as a mum-of-two, Molly-Mae has admitted she is already thinking about drawing the line at two children.
In her latest YouTube vlog, which dropped yesterday (10 August), she revealed that Midas has been struggling with reflux and feeding issues, leaving him in intense pain and screaming.

She said: "I just, to be honest, I just feel so bad for mine just because this reflux thing is actually becoming like a massive issue for me – I've never, ever heard a baby scream like that."
Molly-Mae also opened up about the strain of juggling a newborn with three-and-a-half-year-old Bambi, admitting she is currently in what she described as 'survival mode'.
"Like, peace and love and prosperity and all of that, but it's just a lot, like, obviously, and I'm, like, I feel like I'm showing a lot of, like, oh, you know, I'm coping, I'm good, but also...
"I'm having moments where I'm thinking 100 per cent, like, I'm so blessed and so lucky, but this will be my last child."
She acknowledged that plenty of mums manage life with several children, but said her own experience with a toddler and newborn has been particularly difficult.
"One for the books is to remember like that having a 10-week-old and a three-and-a-half-year-old, like is something that a lot of mums are doing and they have more children. I am so aware of that, but it is a little bit savage..." she said.
"Obviously, it would be so not realistic of me to not talk about the highs and the lows, and yeah, I need you guys to understand that."
Molly-Mae then became emotional while discussing Midas' feeding problems, saying his crying has been particularly difficult for her to hear: "I've never, ever heard a baby scream like that. And it literally makes me want to cry. Like he's crying, I want to cry...
"And it's just a lot like having a baby when it's hard enough as it is, and then add like feeding digestive issues on top of that. And it's just, it is a lot, but anyway."
The former Love Island star also explained that caring for Midas has affected how she and Tommy spend time together.
Speaking of her son, she explained: "I'm trying to get him in a routine, I'm trying to do the best thing for him, but equally, like, that's not the best thing for Bambi...
"[But] that means that we're all tied to the house, unless we literally just do separate things with the kids, which is what we're doing...
"This is what I mean about just like, separate, being separate all the time, doing separate things with the kids, because it's just, it's not fair. I'm trying to get him in a routine, and this is where I'm like so torn."
