'Feels like with every step forward I take I’m knocked two steps back.'

“You really don’t know how strong you are until your faced with obstacles like this.”

Grace Mongey is on the mend after being admitted to hospital yesterday.

The blogger told her followers that she has mastitis, an infection in the breast that commonly affects breastfeeding women.

Grace, who welcomed her second baby last month, said that falling ill had been “really tough” but is hoping that antibiotics will help.

“Feels like with every step forward I take I’m knocked two steps back,” she wrote, sharing a photo of newborn son Hayden.

“Seeing his smiling face looking up at me after his feed makes it all worth while. It’s been tough, really tough but it’s definitely worth it. You really don’t know how strong you are until your faced with obstacles like this.

“Hopefully after a few nights in hospital and some antibiotics we will kick this dose and be back to ourselves. Thanks to everyone who messaged and gave me great tips and advice, your support means the world to me.”

Grace, 30, has been sharing daily updates with her fans on social media since becoming a mum-of-two.

She gave birth in May after a dramatic labour.

Grace was rushed for a C-section but didn’t end up needing it and delivered Hayden naturally.

She and her partner Chris are also parents to three-year-old daughter Sienna.
