Her followers were quick to point out what was actually wrong with her.
Zoe Hendrix met her husband on reality show Married at First Sight. The couple, who are still happily married two years later, now have a little baby girl who was born about 2 months ago.
Zoe’s story is obviously unique which is probably why she had amassed over 73 thousand followers on Instagram.
And it was thanks to her large following on the app that her condition was diagnosed.
Zoe shared a photo of herself in bed with her baby Harper, and implied she was suffering from the flu.
”SICK AS a flea bitten dog in the backstreets of Bali. Except I’m not in Bali I’m in bed with a temp of 39, sore throat, body aches and an 8 week old.
”I salute all you mums/dads with chronic and serious illness who get up everyday and push through the pain and take care of your kids . ??✨ this shit is hard.” She captioned the post.

Concerned fans were quick to point out that she may in fact be suffering from mastitis rather than a bad flu.
Among the hundreds of comments, dozens were from people telling her they think it is mastitis.
”As a midwife I’d say you have mastitis. I really hope you’ve jumped on it now. Best of luck it bloody sucks” One concerned nurse said.
”As soon as I read your comment and saw your temp I though mastitis straight away, get to the dr Hun, especially if there is redness around the sore spots.. It’ll only get worse if you don’t get meds” Another person added.
”Oh gosh I’ve just read this post and thought mastitis straight away. Hope you’re feeling better very soon Zoe, mastitis is horrible.” Added another woman.
Mastitis, which most commonly affects women who are breast-feeding, is an infection of the breast tissue that results in breast pain, swelling, warmth and redness and can cause fever and chills.
Zoe’s concerned followers were correct and she took to Instagram to thank them.
”THANK YOU ?? to all you wonderful and switched on followers who informed me about Mastitis in my last post (which I thought was just the flu).
”I have been on antibiotics, pain relief, and my angel of a mother in law has been helping me care for Harper. I am starting to feel human again after feeling like I was hit by a truck!”
