‘Mum of 7 Reveals Her Horrific Third Trimester Symptoms’
Madeleine West is counting down the days until she welcomes her seventh child into the world.
On a Wednesday, the actress from Neighbours (formerly known as herself) shared yet another selfie on Instagram Stories, this time flaunting her expanding belly, now noticeably larger. (She’s 45 years old.)
Madeleine was glowing in the hallway snap, wearing a pair of form-fitting lycra bike shorts.
She also wore a lilac coloured maternity top that showed off her precious cargo.
The actress finished her sporty look with a pair of sky blue Sketchers sneakers.
The mum-to-be offered the camera a smile as she posed for the selfie.
Looking at a picture depicting motherhood, Madeleine shared some challenges encountered during the third trimester in her caption.
‘Can’t eat, can’t sleep,’ can’t breathe,’ Madeleine wrote.
‘Everything I wear looks ridiculous AND nothing fits.’
In early January, Madeleine shared the news that she’s expecting her seventh child, marking ten years since her last delivery.
She revealed the surprising news in an Instagram post.
In the image, the woman with dark hair showcased her expanding belly in a snug tank top, which was pulled up slightly to expose her bare stomach.
‘WHOOPS!’ she captioned her post. ‘Thought it was #perimenopause. I thought WRONG!’
‘It’s not too much Christmas pudding either. I couldn’t be happier.
I’m not entirely comfortable with the label “Elderly mom,” but here I am, preparing to nurture my new bundle of joy, affectionately referred to as baby number 7.
At the moment, I don’t have many additional thoughts to share, but it seems that the voices of elderly parents aren’t often discussed. Rest assured, though, you exist and it appears as if we’re being overlooked.”
This version attempts to convey the original message while using more natural and easy-to-read language, and also aims to provide a smoother transition between thoughts by connecting them with a conjunction (“but”). Additionally, I’ve added some nuance to the last sentence to emphasize that older parents are indeed present and not simply absent or invisible.
The actress asked her fans for guidance, since she’s about to have a baby at the age of 40, being this her seventh child.
If your due date is later than anticipated and you’re starting your journey in your 40s or 50s, I’d be thrilled to learn about your experiences, she concluded.
Madeleine currently co-parents six children – Phoenix (age 19), Hendrix (age 16), Xascha (age 14), Xanthe (age 12), and twins Xalia and Margaux (age 10) – with her former partner, well-known chef Shannon Bennett, who is 49 years old.
More recently, the well-known Australian personality has been associated with Maximo Bottaro, whom she had a relationship lasting over three years.
Recently, Madeleine posted some pictures on Instagram showcasing the boho-style baby shower she hosted over the weekend, in preparation for the arrival of her seventh child.
At the baby shower, she adorned herself fittingly, donning a vibrant, bohemian-style green tie-dye dress that beautifully accentuated her expanding belly.
She adorned her emerald green outfit with oversized earrings, a coordinating headband, and a broad grin.
Previously known Neighbours actress radiated an ethereal glow, sporting a fresh, dew-kissed makeup style. She opted to let her hair cascade in its natural, wavy form.
She captioned the sweet post: ‘Blessed…. So happy to be surrounded by my incredible tribe.
I hadn’t ever participated in a Mother’s Blessing ceremony before, but it surpassed my expectations. It was filled with heartfelt connections, spiritual communion, and a beautiful celebration of life’s essence.
– In conclusion, she expressed, “I have a strong sense of being a queen, and cherished beyond measure,” followed by, “I eagerly anticipate introducing my newborn to everyone.” (or simply, “I feel like a queen, adored beyond words, can’t wait for you all to meet my little one.”)
Additional photos captured heartfelt messages penned by the baby shower guests for her, as well as a tradition involving roses, rose quartz, candles, and dried flowers.
