Taking to Instagram, Gemma said: "We had such a busy weekend with a big build up & lots of organising. A family birthday tea for Mia on Friday, her party for her school friends Saturday, both Mia & Thiago's christening on Sunday and on top of that a trip to A&E with Thiago sat night.

"We were there until 1am Sunday morning and still somehow rocked up to church at 9.30. We were exhausted but we had the best day. He’s absolutely fine! But it was a scary few hours and I wanted to say a massive thank you to Bolton hospital children’s A&E department, and also the lovely paramedics who took us up there. God bless our NHS!"

The mum-of-two continued to explain how she had started to feel "run down" after the busy weekend. Sharing a video of her stretching in the gym, she wrote: "On Sunday evening when we were home after all the chaos and fun of weekend my throat started to get sore which I knew was my body communicating with me. 'You’re getting run down'.

"With that in mind I dosed up on lemon & local honey, had a bath in magnesium salts and an early night. Monday morning I did an ice bath before the nursery run, a long dog walk and then headed into the gym to move in a way that was restoring whilst relaxing.

"I bounced into work Monday afternoon full of energy & feeling great again. Small simple things to help me both physically and mentally. Movement is medicine, no matter how it’s done, it all helps."

Fans rushed to the comments to send their support, as one wrote: "Such a busy weekend! So glad Tiago is ok and you all enjoyed your family celebrations xxx."

A second said: "So sorry to hear about your scare with Thiago, that must have been so worrying! Glad he’s ok now." A third added: "So glad to hear Thiago is ok. What a worry for you all. But hope all is well now."

Other followers were pleased to see Gemma listen to her busy and slow things down after a chaotic weekend. The Gut Health doctor said: "What a full on weekend! So glad to hear Thiago is okay. Listening to your body is such a powerful form of self-care."

Another said: "Glad to hear Thiago is ok, nothing worse than when the kids get really unwell. Well done for listening to your body and toning it down - Pilates is always a lovely one for gentle and calming exercise that still provides a challenge x."
