Mrs Hinch rushed to hospital as she shares diagnosis
by Jamie Barlow, Jasmine Allday · NottinghamshireLiveMrs Hinch has been taken to hospital as she shared a concerning diagnosis with her followers. Cleaning influencer Sophie Hinchcliffe revealed she sought medical attention after experiencing some alarming symptoms.
Following surgery, she is now recovering and has taken to social media to update her fans. In a post, Mrs Hinch explained it's been a challenging 12 months, saying: "I'm not really sure where to start with this week guys."
Addressing her Instagram followers, 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," reports the Mirror.
Getting emotional, she recounted bumping into lovely fans in A&E who asked about her presence there, and she shared her suspicion of a blood clot in her leg, which was later confirmed. She chose to remain optimistic.
She said: "They managed to go in through my leg. They didn't go through in my neck in the end. They hoovered out the blood clot and they hoovered my stents out. They've literally hoovered me which is ironic isn't it?" She joked about her current state, adding: "I think I've still got quite a lot of painkillers or anaesthetic in my system so I'm probably not making sense."
Despite the ordeal, Sophie had some positive news to share, expressing her eagerness to return home to her family. "They've said I can go home tomorrow," she said. "And I cannot wait to just pick up Vinnie - that newborn smell. I'm swear I'm getting withdrawal symptoms from him. But how are you all doing?"
She continued with an update on her interactions with her family: "I've had a lovely FaceTime with the boys, that was amazing, and I should be back home in my newborn bubble with my little family tomorrow ... I got put through a CT scan and they said there's no blood clot, you can go home. I went home; my leg got bigger and bigger. I came back to a different hospital and they scanned me and said we need to operate, you've got a big blood clot."
Reflecting on the recent events, she added a note of advice: "How mad is that? And that keeps playing on my mind. What if I didn't come back? Just trust your gut guys. Trust your gut. Anyway over and out from me and blood clot. I can't wait to wake up in the morning and get home."
Mrs Hinch has candidly spoken about a challenging year leading up to the birth of her son, Vinnie Alan Barker. Announcing his arrival, she said: "Vinnie Alan Barker Hinchliffe. Born 18th February at 12:21pm, 6lb7oz. Our beautiful little heart healer entered the world In the month we needed him most, February.
"February is my Dad's birthday month, my birthday month, ... And now, it's our Vinnie's. The signs, the comfort ,the joy, you really are just everything we have needed and more Vinnie. Now it's time to meet your beautiful big brothers, and start the next chapter in our Hinch story."
In April 2024, Sophie's father died "suddenly" in his sleep. She shared a touching tribute to him at the time, writing: "25th April 2024. My precious Dad passed suddenly but so peacefully whilst he slept.
"My life, our whole world, has been turned upside down. A deep unimaginable pain I cannot put into words. My loving Dad, Your workshop is locked up and I sleep with the key. I promise to keep your workshop dream going.
"Until we meet and sing together again. Goodnight Dad My absolute king Your Bubberloo. Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go."
