Dani Dyer says she feels 'incredibly guilty' as she books C-section for twins

Dani Dyer has opened up on her 'mum guilt' after booking in for a C-section ahead of the arrival of her twins.

The pregnant star can't wait to meet her two girls later this year as she and football star Jarrod Bowen prepare for the big day.

Despite initially craving a natural birth, she’s opted for a C-section due to difficulties suffered when her first child Santiago was born.

Dani knows it's the best thing but admits she still has concerns.

In a candid Instagram post, the star said: “I am so excited for our family to be growing.

"I feel so lucky and blessed to be having 2 more babies.. but I just feel like I have so many worries going around in my head that I need to just get them all out.

"I remember one of my friends having a second baby and telling me about the second baby guilt she had and I never understood it until I fell pregnant again!

"Honestly the mum guilt never ends I don’t think."

Dani, 26, who has more than 3.6million followers on Instagram, took to her Stories last month to share scan photos of her unborn children.

They have yet to disclose a due date but have kept fans updated on her pregnancy.

She captioned the photo: "Our baby girls," followed by two sparkling heart emojis while also tagging the England international forward.

Dani and Jarrod first became an item in December 2021 when the TV personality confirmed the romance on The Lateish Show With Mo Gilligan and their relationship has gone from strength to strength.

In a joint post, the couple shared three photos with the first of Santiago holding a sign which had the first baby scan images, reading: "I'm going to a big brother to twins."

The next photo saw Jarrod hold Dani's waist as he gazed at her blossoming baby bump, while she smiled at him. The last snap was of the pair both cradling the baby bump.

The caption read: "Our little TWINS. So excited to meet our babies and watch Santi be the best big brother..

"The biggest surprise of our lives but feeling SO blessed.. our family is getting a lot bigger and we can’t wait."

Dani won the hugely popular ITV2 reality dating show in 2018 alongside Jack Fincham before their relationship broke down.

Before she appeared on Love Island, she was in a relationship with Sammy Kimmence and their romance was rekindled shortly after her split with Jack.

Dani and Sammy announced they were to become parents for the first time in July 2020 and welcomed Santiago the following January.

However, they split when Sammy was sentenced to 42 months in jail having admitted to defrauding pensioners. He was released in December 2022.
