Molly-Mae Hague makes tearful admission over 'terrifying' health scare with baby Midas
Molly-Mae Hague has made a tearful admission following a 'terrifying' health scare with her baby boy, Midas.
The 27-year-old Love Island alum welcomed her son back in June of this year, after she welcomed her first child with Tommy Fury, Bambi, in 2023.
Molly-Mae has shared with fans several updates on how she was faring with motherhood over the past few months, with the latest coming in a recent YouTube vlog where she told viewers she had to take her four-month-old to a doctor after not being 'really sure' about what was wrong with him.
The influencer has previously admitted to 'mentally struggling' with Midas due to his reflux and feeding issues, but the latest health update saw Molly-Mae explaining that the little tot was now exhibiting cold-like symptoms.

Speaking of the doctor, the mum-of-two explained: "She wasn’t really sure, but she was like, 'It does sound a bit like RSV, which can be really serious in babies.'"
The NHS explains that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of coughs and colds.
RSV infections usually get better by themselves, but can sometimes be serious for babies as it can lead to bronchiolitis, a common chest infection that affects babies and children under the age of two that can require hospital treatment in some cases.
Molly-Mae continued: "[The doctor] was like, his chest sounds clear. But basically, it’s escalated.
"It’s gone from what I thought was just his first sort of common cold."
Detailing a little more about the doctor's various checks on her son, the influencer explained: "She had this little oxygen thing she was putting on his finger to try and get an oxygen reading. "It kept not working. She could have just been like, 'Okay, it’s not working,' but she kept persevering.
"She was like, 'No, I really want to get his oxygen levels. I really want to make sure I’ve given him a thorough check.'"
However, despite such thorough checks, Molly-Mae was unable to confirm whether Midas had either RSV or bronchiolitis, adding that she didn't want to 'terrify' herself any further by researching the conditions online.
"If you look at him the wrong way right now, he’s in a bundle of tears," she said of her son. "He’s breaking my heart. When the cry is that really sad, heartbreaking cry."
Molly-Mae added that she was sleeping well, adding: "I’m getting a couple hours a night max, and Midas just got his first cold and is just so, so upset and sensitive.
"Weekends are just savage. Weekends were savage with one kid. Weekends are even more savage with two kids."
She shared with fans that she had 'a really big cry' in order to 'let all the emotions out' after not being able to get to an appointment after quite a stressful morning.
