Kathryn Thomas and her husband Padraig McLoughlin welcomed their second child in October, a baby girl named Grace. Now, Kathryn has confirmed that she’s ready to return to work this week.
Taking to her Instagram Stories to share the news, Kathryn said she will be back filming Operation Transformation this Friday.
Speaking about a pair of super comfortable leggings, Kathryn also added: “I’m going back to work on Friday with Operation Transformation so I was like, they are what I need!”
Continuing, she shared: “I went for a walk with the dogs earlier, first time without the buggy. It was the first time I actually was able to pick up the pace and power walk comfortably going up and down the river and it felt good because it was a reminder that eventually you do come back to yourself, however long it takes.
“I felt stronger than I have done before. I’m still wrecked and still nowhere near 100% back to myself and I know it’s going to take time. You’re still in recovery and survival mode with the lack of sleep. So it’s the little wins like the walks and getting out every day.”
Before adding: “Why am I saying all this? I think it’s just to remind myself, and if you’ve just had a new baby and you are struggling a little bit, it’s totally normal and it’s going to take a while to feel like yourself again. That’s okay, that’s perfectly normal, go easy on yourself.”
Recently, Kathryn also shared that Grace had to be admitted to the hospital. “Her breathing got v laboured on Wednesday so I brought her straight to A&E. She was diagnosed with bronchiolitis but thanks to the incredible nurses and doctors she’s home now and doing great.
Thankfully, she’s doing just fine now.
