Georgia Toffolo fears her 'stress and anxiety' is contributing to her and husband James Watt's eight-month pregnancy struggle

 has bravely opened up to fans about her eight-month pregnancy struggle on Instagram.

The former star, 31, detailed her fears that 'stress and anxiety' is contributing to her and husband James Watt's difficult journey to welcome a child.

In a candid video on Sunday, Georgia said she thought it would be easy to get pregnant because they are both 'high achievers when it comes to their health'. 

She captioned her post: 'A little update, because so many of you have asked. We’re going into month eight now….

'The last time I talked about this, I was carrying SO much shame and embarrassment, hiding it from everyone I love. Saying it out loud changed everything. So this is just me carrying on the conversation, which helped so much.

'I read every single message you send me. Every single one! They have lifted me more than you’ll ever know. If you’re somewhere in this too, you are not on your own.

'A baby is never a given. It’s a total blessing…. ✨And when (not if!!) it happens for us, my goodness, we will be the most GRATEFUL people on the planet.

'Thanks for such kindness it means so much. x'

Georgia added: 'I'll be honest with you, I did have this belief that because me and James are really healthy, we are ridiculous high achievers when it comes to our health, I thought that it would just be really easy and it really hasn't been for us.

'That assumption was completely wrong and I think many people would feel the same. 

'There is one huge question mark about my health still that is my stress and anxiety and I do wonder if that is playing a part, I just don't know.'

Last month, Georgia shared that she had booked a last-minute weekend away with James after a tough few months. 

She admitted that they 'need it' after the stress of BrewDog collapse contributed to her struggle to get pregnant. 

She previously opened up about the 'lonely and crazy' journey to welcome a child with James, expressing her frustration that it was yet to happen.

Thanking fans for their supportive comments, Georgia took to Instagram the following day to theorise whether the downfall of BrewDog had anything to do with it. 

Millionaire James came under fire this year when his beer brand racked up debts of more than £500million before collapsing into administration.

Amid the company's collapse questions arose over the company's long trail of controversy, failed enterprises, and allegations of toxic culture.

Addressing the fallout, Georgia said: 'I'm sitting here thinking about the year. We've had so much stress. I'm sure you guys have seen it all, public stuff like the BrewDog stuff has been really difficult to navigate...'

Georgia continued: 'And every single family across the world there's always stuff going on.

'I just think that coinciding with starting to try for a baby it's been a lot for us and we're both very tough and very strong and struggled to acknowledge that it's been a tricky year 

'On top of my naivety I really did just think that if you're super fit and healthy like us you get pregnant really quickly, but it isn't always the case.

'Sometimes there's just a lot of stuff going up that's biological - but I think all of it coinciding...'

Georgia discussed her struggle to get pregnant, sharing on Instagram: 'My gut has been telling me to share this, but my head has been saying no. Oh my God, I don't know why I'm gonna get upset.

'Something that I've been, like, really hiding. My husband and I have been trying for a baby.

'It hasn't happened on month one, month two, three, four, five. According to all the amazing doctors, that is completely normal. Who knew?

'You only ever hear the story of get pregnant on the first try, or the second try, or it was an accident, or we've been trying for a very long time and it hasn't happened for us.

'We are in that really weird space. I just wish someone like me had come on and spoken about it.

'I am in the two-week wait before every single symptom, or boobs, cramps in your lower tummy, they are all suggestive of two things. Number 1, that you're pregnant, 2, that your period is on the way. And these are two entirely different outcomes. It is quite lonely.'

Georgia and James tied the knot in Scotland in March 2024, onboard a fishing boat just off the coast of the picturesque town of Gardenstown in Aberdeenshire.
