Nina Warhurst reveals baby name
Sharing a series of cute and sleepy photos on Instagram recently, Nina divulged the little one’s name. She said: “4 snaplets of me and my Nance from each of the 4 weeks we’ve watched her slowly waking up to this world.
“We’ve lost all sense of time as we’ve been feeding and snoozing and gazing and toe-stroking and head-smelling and marvelling at the absolute wonder of it all.”
The star continued to share the story of her pregnancy and labour. “It’s been *haaaard* tho! A harder pregnancy. A tougher delivery and a longer recovery… maybe it’s being older… but also I’d somehow forgotten.”
We’ve lost all sense of time as we’ve been feeding and snoozing and gazing and toe-stroking and head-smelling and marvelling at the absolute wonder of it all.
She added: “But part of getting older is getting better acquainted with your limits and letting go. I’m better at stopping and saying no to visitors and yes to a messy house and yes to asking for help.”
Nina joked that all is fine now and that she is enjoying life in the slow lane watching Married at First Sight and sipping “Italian red drinks”.
She ended the post: “Women and their bodies (parents or not) are complex and resilient that it fills me with immense pride. I can’t wait to tell you all about it my sweet girl.”
What does the name mean?
Nina didn’t explain why she chose the name Nance for her little girl. But, according to the website The Bump, the name is of Hebrew origin and means “He (God) has favored me”.
According to BabyCentre, the name means “favour, grace”.
Followers react
Many of her followers shared messages of support and love.
One social media user said: “Never forget that you are amazing. Women can do the most wonderful things, including facing another feed, nappy, cry, pain or day. Sending you much love.”
Another added: “Congratulations to you and your family on your gorgeous new baby girl. You know all the pain and exhaustion will be so worth it. Beautiful pictures.”
Fellow presenter Stacey Dooley was among the first celebrities to comment and shared a love heart emoji.
