Cher Lloyd shares snaps of newborn on pumpkin picking trip

The former X Factor star, 30, who hails from Malvern, Worcestershire, delighted her followers with a glimpse into her weekend activities with her family.

With her newborn, Eliza-Violet, strapped to her chest, they picked out pumpkins for Halloween at a farm.

Before welcoming Eliza, Lloyd shared her worries over being diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

In an Instagram post, she recalled how the diagnosis had affected her: "I got the call last week to tell me I had gestational diabetes. I burst into tears. I felt scared, confused and instantly blamed myself."

An issue that surfaces during pregnancy, gestational diabetes usually disappears after the baby is born.

Yet, the diagnosis shook Cher as she tried to understand and control the sudden medical condition.

An X Factor contestant in 2010, Lloyd never shied from reaching out to her fans and fellow mothers suffering from gestational diabetes by asking for advice, sharing stories, and encouraging those in similar predicaments.

She said: "I've spent most of my time researching gestational diabetes and trying to find recipes and ways to control it. 

"I'm still getting used to the changes and how this might affect the rest of my pregnancy. 

'"I just wanted to reach out to any fellow gestational diabetes mamas out there sharing advice, stories and suggestions. Sending love."

Married to Monk since 2013, the couple announced their second child’s expected arrival in April.
