But Zoe has also been sharing a series of more candid photos on her social media documenting her second pregnancy so far in the first trimester diaries which include bad hair days and broken nails.

The vlogger wrote a long post detailing the ups and downs of her pregnancy so far and said: “My anxiety had come crashing down on me between these weeks. “I had somehow subconsciously got myself into a constant high state of anxiety that I just could not lower, which was causing me to gag over & over every single day over nothing.” “The fact that my body's response to high levels of anxiety is to wretch feels like a bit of a joke considering I'm an emetephobe but there we go.This coupled with pregnancy symptoms and my phobia felt like living in a bit of a hazy nightmare for a few weeks.” “I spoke to my therapist,” continues Zoe in the post. “And we made a plan and every day I pushed myself to do the most simple, every day things that I could no longer do.
