Cher Lloyd has opened up about her recent health diagnosis during her second pregnancy.
The Swagger Jagger singer has been supported by her fans after she revealed she ‘blames herself’ for her diagnosis.
The 29-year-old has revealed she’s been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, which left her feeling ‘scared and confused’.
Opening up about the diagnosis to her 2.7M Instagram followers, Cher admitted, “I got the call last week to tell me I had gestational diabetes. I burst into tears. I felt scared, confused and instantly blamed myself”.
“I’ve spent most of my time researching gestational diabetes and trying to find recipes and ways to control it. I’m still getting used to the changes and how this might affect the rest of my pregnancy”.
Lloyd then added, “I just wanted to reach out to any fellow gestational diabetes mamas out there sharing advise, stories and suggestions. Sending love”.
Many fans of the singer rushed to the comments to share their support for her amid her worrying but common diagnosis.
One fan said, “So sorry to hear this! Sending love your way and wishing you all the best with your pregnancy”.
“Oh hun sorry to hear this, you’ve got this!”, wrote a second commenter, while a third added, “You got this! Sending all my love”.
According to the NHS, gestational diabetes is “high blood sugar (glucose) that develops during pregnancy and usually disappears after giving birth. It can happen at any stage of pregnancy, but is more common in the second or third trimester”.
Cher announced she was expecting her second child with her husband, Craig, back in April when she penned, “Baby number 2, we can’t wait to meet you”, alongside a video of a newborn outfit and her baby scan.
The couple are already proud parents to five-year-old Delilah, who recently celebrated her birthday with a Bluey-themed party.
