"We had a hard birth and harder time after but doing amazingly now, we are so grateful to the neonatal team and Exeter hospital as a whole."
In a follow-up post on Instagram, Gemma went into more detail about her difficult birthing experience and expressed her gratitude to the medical professionals involved.
She wrote: "What a journey it’s been this last two weeks. What a beautiful time, I certainly got my happily ever after, I am on the right path with this man and our beautiful blended family. We’re so lucky to have such support around us.
"From neonatal to home, a massive thank you to the Exeter midwifery team for stepping in, it was serious but we have our baby thanks to specialists and consultants who decided on an emergency induction."
She continued: "Thank you for every message and comment of congratulations, it’s so appreciated."

She announced her pregnancy back in November, where she captioned a photo of the baby scan with a tribute to her partner Jordan.
She wrote: "Absolutely over the moon to share this beautiful adventure with such a supportive and kind partner who makes me cry happy tears daily, talking to baby and being so present.
"I am so blessed to have you and our family @jordanbish11."
