Last month, Herron admitted she felt she was "complaining a lot" during her pregnancy, but wanted to show her followers that it was OK to feel like this.
"Any pregnancy is hard on the body and despite like complaining, or posting about how difficult it is sleeping, I love every minute of my pregnancy and I fully recognise that is it all a temporary experience and so spirits are still high even though I'm pretty sure I have like a cracked rib right now, it's just part of it," she said in a post on her Instagram stories.
"And it's also OK if you are someone who experienced infertility and hate pregnancy, just want to say that."
For Herron, who knows exactly how hard it can be to go through infertility, IVF and pregnancy loss, she wanted to make it clear that you still don't need to just pretend everything is perfect all the time.
