Emily and husband Alex Andrew are already parents to their baby daughter Ario Rose who became a big sister earlier this week.
Podcast host Emily, 30, announced the news on Instagram this morning.
Sharing a snap from her hospital bed, Emily wrote: “She’s here.
“Xanthe Fiadh Andrew arrived a few days ago and just brought the sunshine with her, we are all so happy xxxx.”
Emily had a tough pregnancy having been diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum in the second trimester.
“I never intended to share as much as I did about Hyperemesis Gravidarum, but by the time I announced at about 16 weeks I weighed less than I did before I was pregnant.
“I’d been hospitalised due to dehydration, I was bed bound, and despite the 9 daily antiemetic pills I was taking, everything, from my husband sitting down on the bed, to the smell of my daughter’s hair, to the thought of an avocado, made me physically sick.
“I’ve subsequently come to the conclusion that my HG caused prenatal depression (so I started seeing an antenatal trauma therapist).
“It has been the hardest thing I have ever been through, harder in my second pregnancy than my first, due largely to the devastating guilt I felt not being able to be there in the way I wanted for my first daughter whilst making my second.
“The physical symptoms got slightly easier as time went on, but it’s been 9 months since I got through a day unmedicated, since I ate a vegetable, or drank a glass of water. I am still sick every day. I cannot remember what food I like or what it’s like to want a cup of coffee.
“And the consistent vomiting has taken a huge toll on my body, it’s caused Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, where the nerves and my arteries in my neck have been compressed causing numbness in my arms.
“I have my first cavity due to the fact I’ve literally only drunk coke since April, and my ferritin levels dropped so low I’ve needed two infusions in the last month.”
