'It's The Last Thing You Want To Hear' - Jess Redden Opens Up ...

New mum Jess Redden has opened up about her fertility issues in a candid new interview.

The pharmacist welcomed her first child alongside her rugby star husband, Rob Kearney back in August, giving birth to a baby boy named Bobby

Getting real about her road to pregnancy, Jess also touched on the 'difficult days' she’s experienced since giving birth.

In an excerpt from her debut book ‘The Food Pharmacy’, obtained by The Sunday Independent, Jess writes: 'Speaking from personal experience I know all too well how unhelpful it is when people say, "just relax and it will happen for you".'

'Of course, nobody means any malice when they offer that wisdom, but when you have spent months or years trying to conceive, it really is the last thing you want to hear.'

'Even knowing everything I knew about the effects of stress on the reproductive system, it took me a long time to finally reverse my mindset.'

Jess touched further on why she wanted to become a mother, revealing to the publication that it was her own mother who inspired her.

Jess explained; 'So thinking that, "oh my gosh, that might not happen for you someday", that’s such a difficult thought to deal with. But I guess you just have to take it day by day and then look where you are now and all that worry.'

'And it’s not that you should never worry because you can’t just stop yourself from worrying, but day by day, moment by moment, everything will work out.'

Discussing how becoming parents has changed their relationship, Jess had nothing but positive things to say.

'It’s like you fall in love all over again watching your partner with the baby, it’s just so cute. He’s been such a great help. It’s hard being a stay-at-home mom. It is the hardest job in the world, because you spend all day feeding, breastfeeding is another journey in itself.'

'When he comes home, he’s going to see it in my face that I need help. He’s like, "you just go", and he’ll take over, even though he has 101 things to do. He’ll always, always put us first.'

'I really appreciate that, because sometimes, I guess it could be easy to just let the mum try and soothe them. Because I’ll hear him trying to for an hour-and-a-half and then I’ll come in.'
