The star, who found fame on Channel 4 reality show The Circle, told her followers: “Basically I’m a ticking time bomb and I’m going to need surgery after the baby is born.” “It’s like the four walls are closing in,” she added about her situation. 33-year-old Beth was shocked when doctors discovered an abscess in her pelvis. She is now considered high risk and is not allowed to leave hospital as it is not known how much damage the abscess has caused.

She told her followers in a post that, “it’s apparently going to be big surgery because they don’t know why the abscess is there. Has it perforated anything? “They don’t know whether the abscess is a consequence of the pregnancy, everything stretching or whether it’s to do with something else.” She revealed she is on IV antibiotics every day to prevent infection and added about her worries: “The worse thing is the uncertainty, there’s no timeline, it’s rare to deal with somebody who has an abscess in their pelvis during pregnancy. Like just, how are you meant to process anything when there are so many uncertainties?” However, she paid tribute to her boyfriend for his support. “It’s just so hard,” she confessed. “And when you’re sat here on your own all day, bless Connagh he’s gone to get food, he sits here all day, my whole family are on holiday. It’s just like four walls closing in. “All day every day. And you just think about everything, it’s just so scary.”
Beth and Connagh have had fertility issues
Beth’s pregnancy journey has already been a difficult one after going through a traumatic fertility struggle. She had been trying to get pregnant after a year of dating Connagh. Beth underwent he endometriosis surgery last year that she hoped would help her start a family, while Connagh, who was on Love Island in 2020, underwent semen analysis and cut out protein supplements from his diet to improve their chances of conceiving. Beth also had acupuncture hoping it would help. Last March they were told that they has “unexplained infertility”, so they were offered IVF. They are now expecting a baby boy. Beth and Connagh started dating in early 2020 just before lockdown.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
