VOGUE: Anxiety has returned during my pregnancy
Williams opens up about mental health struggles
CLOSER MAGAZINE
VOGUE Williams has told how her anxiety has come back during her pregnancy.
The broadcaster and DJ is expecting her first child with fiance Spencer Matthews.
Speaking to Closer magazine she said: “I get quite bad anxiety and it’s come back a bit while I’ve been pregnant, I don’t know why I have it, it’s just general life anxiety.”
The 32-year-old, from Howth, North Dublin, revealed continuing her exercise regime helps her mind to remain calm.
She explained: “If I knew what it was about, that would be the first step in getting rid of it, but exercise keeps that in check and makes you feel better about yourself.”
“It’s more under control now than it has been in the past. It was very physical, I would be tense all day – my heart rate would be racing, I wouldn’t be able to sleep.”
There’s no sign of the TV star slowing down as she tweeted a picture of herself weight training in Seattle where she is filming the RTE travel show Getaways.
She tweeted: “AWAKE! 3.30am jet lag wake up in Seattle but at least the gym is open 24 hours and the breakfast buffet looks like it will take a good hour at! Also these leggings give a pretty good tush.”
Vogue said her original plan to tie the knot has been put on hold as starting her family takes priority.
She added: “We always wanted to have a baby before a wedding and obviously right now the baby is the priority. But I’m excited about getting married. It will probably be next year and we want a big party.”
“In five years, I want to have had baby number two with Spencer. I want us to be happy, which I’m sure we will.”
Like many mums to be, Vogue has also been experiencing cravings.
She said: “I can’t get enough of dairy. Ice cream, milk, yogurt, cheese. Orange juice is also a big one – weirdly, my mum said she craved OJ when she was pregnant with me.”
I don’t know why I have it, it’s just life anxiety in general
