Love Island’s Tyla Carr shows off newborn baby Archie for the first time and reveals she got ‘too big for sex’ during risky pregnancy
LOVE Island Tyla Carr shows off baby son Archie for the first time today – and reveals some very intimate details of her pregnancy.
Beaming with pride alongside boyfriend Rossco Edmonds, Tyla holds son Archie Ray, and talks about her high-risk pregnancy.
After falling pregnant just four months into her relationship with Ross, the former reality star revealed the issues with the baby started at just 32 weeks.
“I’d been leaking fluid so they tested to see if my waters had broken and I had to go for an emergency scan,” she tells .
“The nurse phoned the consultant and said: ‘I think her waters are gone. There’s no fluid and he hasn’t grown for two weeks.’
“The consultant did a scan and said, although the baby was low, he was fine. So they just decided that they’d see me weekly throughout the rest of my pregnancy.”
She had to give birth one week early because of the problem.
“I was originally meant to have a C-section on December 20 [because the baby was breech], but they brought it forward because his heart rate was up and down.
“I was so relieved. I know it’s naughty, but I was trying to induce the labour anyway as I was so excited to meet him.
“I was eating spicy food, drinking raspberry leaf tea, using my breast pump, but sex was a no go because I was just so big!’”
When she saw her son for the first time, Tyla said she was shocked.
“They held up the baby and when I saw the willy I was like: ‘Oh my God,’ as we were so convinced it was a girl from day one.
“It was so overwhelming. I held him while they stitched me up. He was so content, it was the most magical moment ever.”
But having a baby just a year after getting together doesn’t mean Tyla, who tempted Johnny Mitchell away from Camilla Thurlow on Love Island, will be getting engaged anytime soon.
Ross says: “I’d like to get engaged. We’ve only been together a year. We’re going to concentrate on Archie for the time being, but it’s the next step.”
Tyla agrees, saying: “I’d like to be engaged by the time Archie starts school. I’m not that fussed about actually getting married though.”
