‘Today I am in a ward about to have surgery. It’s fine, but I have a 12-week-old baby and I can’t stand being away from her,’ Tanya wrote.
On Friday, Tanya shared an update, revealing that she was still waiting to have the surgery.
‘Update. I’m still in the ward. Been fasted since 3 am Wednesday, just waiting to know what will happen next,’ she wrote.

The exciting news followed Tanya’s seven-year fertility struggle.
In 2022, Tanya opened up about her struggles with having a baby.
‘Getting pregnant is a f***ing full-time job and I am at my wits end,’ she told her social media followers at the time.
‘It hurts that my body won’t do what I want it to. I’m bloody over it. Something that is seemingly so easy for so many, feels impossible for us. It’s infuriating.’
Tanya said that the road to motherhood had taken quite a physical and emotional toll.
‘I’m exhausted. Burnt out. I’m not burnt out by work but by the fatigue of [trying to conceive]. It’s impossibly hard,’ she said.
‘You want to just get up and do it. Like work, but you get fed up from trying and getting nothing from it.’
Speaking to Stellar after Scotland’s arrival, Tanya said that becoming a mother had completely changed her.
It comes after Tanya welcomed her first child with husband Thomas Poole in December, following a seven-year fertility struggle
‘I’m in heaven, my heart is exploding. My baby is here. My baby. She’s everything and more and I’ve never been so blissfully happy in my life,’ she wrote on Instagram at the time
‘I feel like a different person, it’s really hard to adjust. I’m still a bit scared to go outside. I’m so proud of her, I feel like I’m in a whirlpool… A really beautiful whirlpool,’ she said.
‘Sometimes I find it really hard to talk about motherhood because I represented the infertility community for so long; I feel like people get cranky at me for becoming a mother in a way because I’m no longer representing the infertility community.’
She added: ”I’m glad the grief is gone, I feel really whole. That’s not to say if you don’t have children, or you can’t have children, you won’t be whole.
‘But in my circumstances, in this moment right now, for me, I feel whole.’
