Mrs Hinch reveals hospital dash after suffering blood clot weeks after giving birth

Mrs Hinch has revealed that she was rushed to hospital three weeks after giving birth.

The cleaning guru, real name Sophie Hinchcliffe, updated her 4.8million followers on Instagram from hospital, explaining that she had suffered from a blood clot.

“I'm not really sure where to start with this week guys,” she said.

“I've actually bumped into quite a few followers in hospital. So I just thought I'd update you a bit because I share a lot with you here. The good, the bad and the ugly.

“Anyway to cut a long story short, I had a blood clot in my groin, pelvis, leg area. I haven't had one since 2018 and then another one decides to hit me three weeks postpartum. What a 12 months it's been.”

Sophie welcomed her third child with her husband Jamie last month, and she shared on Instagram that they had gone with the name Vinnie Alan Barker Hinchliffe.

The couple also share sons Ronnie, five, and Lennie, three.

“They hoovered out the blood clot, hoovered my stents out, they've literally hoovered me which is ironic isn't it,” she added, explaining the surgery.

“I think I've still got quite a lot of painkillers or anaesthetic in my system because I'm probably not making much sense but I've had a few messages saying Soph, why are you in the hospital?”

She reassured: “I just wanted to say I'm alright, all good. I can hopefully go home tomorrow. I can go home tomorrow, they've said I can and I cannot wait to smell my boys. Pick up Vinnie, that newborn smell.”

She said it was only discovered she had a blot clot when she went to a different hospital, as she was worried about the size of her leg.

“My leg got bigger and bigger so I came back to a different hospital.

“They scanned me and said we need to operate, you've got a big blood clot. How mad is that?”

Hinch said she was looking forward to being released from hospital soon, so she could go back to her sons.

Alongside a video of one of her sons running, she said: “Hurry up tomorrow when I'll be back home to this. Just a reminder. ALWAYS trust your gut. You know your own body. Goodnight everyone. Lots of love xx.”
