Mrs Hinch’s health anxiety is the ‘worst it’s ever been’ & grief has ‘taken over’ as she prepares to welcome third child
MRS Hinch has revealed that her health anxiety is the ‘worst it’s ever been’, as she prepares to welcome her third child.
The influencer, 34, who recently explained that she feels ‘numb’ as she battles the loss of her dad, six months on, shared that grief has ‘taken over’ her life.
The mum-of-two, who is pregnant with her third child and is due very soon, confessed that every night when she goes to bed, her mind goes into overdrive.
The blonde beauty, whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe, took to her Instagram stories to share the typical thoughts that run through her head on a daily basis.
Revealing all to her 4.8 million followers, the cleaning fanatic wrote: “Every day every night my brain works like this…”
She then proceeded to list the things that regularly run through her head when trying to sleep, as she penned: “I need to decorate the nursery… Will three car seats fit in our car?”

Sophie explained that she must book an “occupational therapist report meeting” and her “anti D injection”.
Not only this but she also shared her thoughts on “operation Christmas child boxes” and her need to “do my injection before bed”.
If that wasn’t enough, Sophie confused that she also needs to make time to re-book her babies’ fetal medical scan, as well as her son Ronnie’s eye test and a dental check for Lennie, her other child.
It appears that her kids are keeping her mind very occupied, as she explained that she also needs to “finish classroom Christmas gifts” and mustn’t forget to do elf on the shelf.
As she is soon to welcome her third child, Sophie stressed her thoughts on getting prepared, as she questioned: “When should I pack my hospital bag? Do I still have my old hospital bag?”
Sophie also has her nan’s birthday next week, content creating and editing to do and must remember to order more newborn baby clothes.
As well as this, she also has a Tesco click and collect order that she needs to get, and made a point of needing to remember to renew her son’s swimming lessons and to make cakes for their Christmas cake sale.
Not only has Sophie not even started her Christmas shopping properly yet, but she also needs to share and post her giveaway winners online, order more chicken feed, top up her alpaca feed bins and tidy her children’s playroom.

“I just want my dad.
“My health anxiety it’s the worst it’s ever been. Will it ever go away?”
