Chloe Radford issues 'painful' update as 22 Kids and Counting star shares her 'reality'
22 Kids and Counting star Chloe Radford has issued a 'painful' update to her fans just six days after welcoming her second child as she decided to share her 'reality'
Chloe Radford has opened up to her fans as she gave a "painful" update. The 22 Kids and Counting star welcomed her second child last week as she introduced her followers to newborn baby Bodhi Reign.
She was already a proud mum to daughter Mila as she said: "Here's to life as a family of 4!!! My heart is so full." However, Chloe, the daughter of Sue and Noel Radford, has since admitted "everything seems to be all over the place".
The reality TV star, 29, candidly opened up on her life as a family of four just days after giving birth to her child with security guard boyfriend Jacob Wallace. She filmed herself in pyjamas while making breakfast as she filled her fans in on the whirlwind few days.
Chloe said: "I feel like we're still just trying to find our rhythm a little bit with everything and get a little routine going because everything just seems to be a bit all over the place.'
She pointed to piles of dirty dishes, and added: 'Here's a bit of reality.' Chloe continued: "Bodhi is doing great, I had a health visitor round yesterday and he's only lost 5 ounces - he was 6 lb 1 oz.
"Breastfeeding is going really, really well. He's taken to it really well, I'm really proud of us." Despite the good news, Chloe admitted she has been feeling pain.
The TV star shared: "I've got one really sore boob. I put one of these on last night [a cooling pad], because I was really struggling to feed him on this side because it was just so painful.
'I had this on last night and it feels so much better, so I did actually manage to feed him again on that side.' Chloe then asked daughter Mila what she thinks of her baby brother, as she simply quipped: 'Cute.'
The bakery manager of the family's Radford Pie Company told the camera: 'She's been amazing with him, she just wants to cuddle him all the time. But yeah, I feel like we're just trying to find our rhythm and a new routine. I look knackered. But yeah that's the update.'
Chloe had kept fans updated throughout her pregnancy as she admitted it was "scary" and "nerve-wracking". Taking to TikTok to update her 100,000 followers on her health, Chloe assured fans her baby was "absolutely fine".
Yet, revealed she had been suffering with high blood pressure and had an induction date booked in as a result. She said: "Hey, guys, so update on where we're at with pregnancy and everything like that.
"I went to the day assessment unit today and they were monitoring my blood pressure again and I was on the monitor as well. Baby boy is very happy in there - he's absolutely fine."
Explaining she didn't know why her blood pressure was high, she continued: "My blood pressure - so they do it four times over the space of an hour - and it was ok the first two times and then the other two times it was high again.
"I don't know why, because I was literally just sat relaxing, so I have no idea why." She added: "And exciting news is that we have an induction date which is not far away.
"It's really, really exciting, but it's also really scary and nerve-racking. I know that we've really not got long now until we meet him and have him in our arms, so that's exciting. That is obviously only if he doesn't come beforehand, which I don't think he will, to be honest."

The real reason everyone is obsessed with Labubu dolls
The Labubu doll trend is driven by scarcity and the desire to participate in a 'quest,' making the hunt as important as the prize, according to psychotherapists. Labubus, monster-like dolls with a fuzzy coat, red nose, rabbit-like ears, and sharp teeth, are considered 'ugly-cute' and have become a must-have accessory due to TikTok content creators. The limited availability of Labubus, priced from $21.99, creates a sense of exclusivity and achievement when obtained, fueling a healthy resale market with prices up to $300 for a box of six. Psychotherapists suggest Labubus represent a desire for something purely for joy, not function, offering a sense of belonging and social connection in a culture often focused on productivity and utility. Experts view the Labubu trend as a fashion phenomenon that signals being part of an in-group, though some see it as a transitional item that brings people together.

Woman who lives in Spain says there's 'weird' difference she'll 'never' get
Marta Budzyska moved to Madrid in 2022 after having lived and studied in Italy for years - but there's one thing she just can't get her head around when it comes to Spanish culture Spain remains a top holiday hotspot for UK sun-seekers, with a staggering 17.8 million visits from Brits in 2023. That year, Spain emerged as the favourite escape for British holidaymakers, commanding an impressive 21% of all overseas jaunts by those from the UK, according to stats from the Office for National Statistics. It's also believed that thousands of Brits each year also make the sunny Spanish shores their home. But having soaked up Spanish sun and culture beforehand doesn't necessarily mean that people looking to make the country their home won't come across a few surprises when moving to their new country. This was exactly what happened to Marta Budzyska, a Polish woman who moved to Madrid in 2022 after years of living and studying in Italy. Marta thought she was fully clued-up on Spanish and Mediterranean ways of living before moving to the Spanish capital. However she quickly encountered one aspect of daily life in Spain that continues to baffle her – and it has nothing to do with the sunshine. Marta turned to her TikTok account to share her major cultural shock since moving to Spain. "One thing that will never stop surprising me about Spain is that they go to eat so freaking late," Marta said in her video. She continued to explain that she'd gone out for dinner with friends the previous evening, but that their booking hadn't been until 10pm. Even then, people arrived more than half an hour late, which she said is a common occurrence in Spanish culture. "And you know you have to think about the order, gets some starters, the main meal. And literally it took so much time," she said, explaining that they were eating until midnight. "And I'm not complaining, it was so much fun, I love it," she said. "I love to live fully with another culture where I'm living or where I'm at, like at holidays. Spain is my home now, but like, that is just so funny and I think it'll never stop surprising me." Marta went on to advise tourists: "So if you go to Spain, just don't be necessarily on time. Stick [...] with easy and chill, it'll be better for you." People quickly took to the comments to share their own experiences, with many Spanish people relating to what Marta had to say. "As a Spanish this is so true haha," one viewer wrote. A second person said: "It's shocking haha. How do you even work the next day." A third person also confirmed that similar eating habits also existed in Italy, but that the times could differ between 8pm and 10pm depending on what area of the country you were visiting. Have you experienced eating dinner at a later time when you're on holiday? Let us know in the comments.
