Megan McKenna reflects on her ‘lowest moments’ on TV as she embraces motherhood
Megan McKenna has revealed her darkest reality TV moments and opened up about motherhood.
The 32-year-old, known for her appearances on Ex on the Beach, Celebrity Big Brother, and The Only Way is Essex, is now a mother-of-one and has since reflected on her reality TV past that she’s not particularly proud of. “I do feel like a completely different person now. And sometimes I look back on footage of myself and think, ‘Was I OK?,'” Megan said.
She went on to admit that she was “mouthy” and that drinking too much often played a role in her behaviour. Mckenna continued: “Back then, I was naive, I was young, and unfortunately some of my lowest moments were played out on camera.”
Back in October, the star delighted fans after announcing she had welcomed her baby boy, Landon, to the world with her footballer fiancé Oliver Burke. Since then, Megan’s been soaking up every second of motherhood. The family recently made the move from Essex to Germany to support Oliver’s career. Back in April, the couple revealed they were expecting their first child after going through IVF, and Megan has been open about the entire journey.
She shared that she was diagnosed with PCOS and made the decision to freeze her eggs, which she now says was the best choice she ever made for her and her family.
Unfortunately, her delivery wasn’t easy at all. Megan ended up needing a c-section and discovered her womb lining was too thin. She opened up about the experience on Instagram shortly after giving birth, admitting it was a total nightmare. “I honestly thought they were going to crack my ribs, and that was the scariest part.” She added: “It’s not been easy having a C-section, coming home and not being able to do anything. Being in so much pain, not being able to wash myself and being in pain.”
Although they’ve had their struggles, the couple is excited about expanding their family, with Megan expressing how much she values family life. Megan told The Sun:: “It’s a real rollercoaster going through the stages of IVF, but it’s the best thing we’ve ever done, and we’ve got another embryo on ice ready to go. We 100% want to have more children.”
It comes just days after the reality star was forced to rush her baby son to the hospital after he fell seriously ill. She shared an update with fans after a few hours, admitting that he was doing better.
The doting mum opened up about a scary experience with Landon’s health, revealing how she was told to stop his omeprazole, despite feeling uncomfortable with it. After following the advice, Landon’s condition worsened, with constant vomiting, pain, and dehydration, landing them in A&E. However she told worried fans that he is now back on it and back to his usual self.
