Love Island's Camilla Thurlow opens up about having a newborn baby in honest Q&A

Love Island's Camilla Thurlow has opened up about the reality of having a newborn baby.

The mum-of-two, 32, gave birth to Nora Belle in May, who joins big sister Nell, 20 months and dad Jamie Jewitt, 32, in the family of four.

Camilla has been candid about her experience of motherhood and has now spoken to fans who want to know how she's coping the second time around.

Taking to Instagram with adorable pics of her girls, she explained: "[The transition] has been hard to compare. One to two [children] has been nowhere near as big a shock to the system.

"Nora is a very different baby. We have a lot of support in place this time (we went into lockdown after Nell was born, so that was very different and I haven't been ashamed to accept any help that was offered."

"The sunshine is helping my emotional well-being, so everything has felt a bit more positive, but it still feels like a big change.

"The challenging aspect has been figuring out how to make sure both girls get what they need, particularly during Nora's feed and Nell's meals and bedtime."

Camilla also explained her birth with Nora had been 'a lot easier' than with Nell, but ultimately she was 'so grateful for her two girls and the NHS '.
