Siobhan Marshall's little miracle ‘MY GIRL IS A DREAM COME TRUE!'

The Outrageous Fortune actress, 38, introduces her adorable daughter Roux and, in her own words, reveals why motherhood has been so different the second time around
Siobhan Marshall's little miracle ‘MY GIRL IS A DREAM COME TRUE!'

When my husband Millen Baird and I had our first child, our beautiful little girl Remy, three years ago while living in the States, I felt really alone. I ended up with a retained placenta and got an infection in my uterus, but they wouldn’t even let me see a doctor in person.

I had to deal with it over the phone and pick up some antibiotics from the local pharmacy, but even that didn’t fix it. Eventually, it got so bad, I needed surgery – which I had to drive myself to while Mills minded the baby.

Fortunately, things couldn’t have been more different when we welcomed baby number two, Roux Violet Colleen Baird, into the world. She arrived safely on the 10th of June 2021, in Aotearoa, and we couldn’t be happier!

Having our little girl born healthy was a relief for us because it was a tricky and exhausting final month of pregnancy. We discovered I had developed late-onset gestational diabetes, so Roux was induced two weeks earlier than her official due date.

This meant not indulging every one of my crazy pregnancy cravings. It was a period of very healthy, well-balanced eating – almost no carbs! – and daily insulin shots, which I’m not a fan of. I really got a taste (or lack of taste!) for what it would be like to live with diabetes every day and, I’ll tell you, it was tough forgoing my favourite treats.

However, when little Roux made her grand entrance with no signs of being affected by high glucose, it was all totally worth it. Yay!
