Stephanie Davis has shared her anxiety after her young son was rushed to hospital twice when he “stopped breathing”. The actress, 32, took to social media to explain why she hasn’t been active lately.
The Coronation Street star took to Instagram to share a number of images of her and her son in hospital. She also shared a snap of her hugging her two-month-old, while Caben Albi, eight, also cuddled in.
Stephanie wrote in the update of her “dread”, penning: “Heyy, Not posted much recently but haven’t had many photos to post since Samuel had his breathing episodes I’ve just been at home watching him like a hawk. Mum life is so busy you literally don’t get a minute, let alone to post!

“Awful last photo of me and my two boys but I literally don’t have any of us together. Don’t you find you have a camera roll filled with photos of everyone else with your children and none of them with you. “I’ve been so anxious since Samuel not breathing and now having 2 episodes, I’ve spent most of my nights jumping awake with dread to go back to sleep and do it all over again.”
Her followers were quick to share messages of support, with a number sending ideas on how to deal with her anxiety. One user wrote: “Bless look after you has well,” while another added: “Beautiful pictures Stephanie.”

Stephanie, who welcomed her second child in January, opened up on her ordeal earlier this month. , She shared how her son faced a “scary episode” that meant he needed to be hospitalised.
And she later shared the sad news that he had suffered another terrifying incident at three-months old. She revealed how she was sat in a café following a baby sensory class with Samuel when he suddenly stopped breathing.
Thankfully, two women were on hand to support her. They rushed to help the actress and called for an ambulance. Stephanie spent the day at hospital as she told her followers:
“We were just having a nice day and then all of a sudden he’s foaming from the mouth with loads of saliva. You lose your head as a mum, it’s honestly torture.”
She added: “Poor baby has had two lumber punctures and all sorts done to him to get to the bottom of it all. It’s been a dead upsetting time. I’m trying not to cry again because I’ve just been crying.
“On top of that, when he’s in his pram, he doesn’t like the wind in his face. When the wind is in his face, he starts to blow bubbles and hold his breath. It makes me panic.

“I’m anxious because of what happened yesterday and recently with him with his reflux and I’m hoping it doesn’t turn into an episode.
“It’s just dead upsetting and worrying. I’m just praying he takes a breath and then worrying that next time he won’t clear it.” Stephanie became emotional as she spoke.
Nicola Peltz was photographed wearing a blue and white Dolce & Gabbana biker jacket last February – which drew a puzzled reaction from Victoria’s friends after she wore the same jacket

Nicola Peltz has been accused of “bizarre behaviour” after wearing a jacket previously worn by her mother in law Victoria Beckham.
Nicola was photographed wearing a blue and white Dolce & Gabbana biker jacket last February. Victoria had famously worn the same jacket in the terraces of Old Trafford to watch Manchester United be crowned Premier League champions, in 2001.
At the time it was speculated by outlets – including fashion bible Vogue – that Nicola had been “granted access to her mother-in-law’s personal archive of noughties fashion.” But friends of the Beckhams say this was not the case at all.
One said: “If not obsessive, it was definitely the most bizarre behaviour especially given relations weren’t the greatest anyway in the wake of the wedding.”
Friends of Nicola claimed that her mum bought her the jacket in September 2023, “not knowing Victoria had worn it”.
“Nicola however did recognize the jacket and thought it was sweet to wear something her mother in law had worn,” the pal said. “Nicola has only ever attempted to be close to the Beckhams as she’s close with her own family.”

The flashpoint comes as the Mirror exclusively told how the row between David and Victoria Beckham and their daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz descended into open warfare.
The Mirror’s Tom Bryant told revealed how the couple’s friends have reacted with fury after Nicola’s pals made a series of extraordinary claims about the reason why the rift between Brooklyn and his family emerged.
Her friend claimed: “We are at this point because Nicola, an outsider coming into the Beckham family, has been able to help Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behavior within his family, that it’s not healthy and it’s not normal and it’s not ok.”
But the comments have sparked outrage from sources close to the Beckhams.
“I don’t think anyone who has ever seen David and Victoria with their children would recognise this deeply unpleasant attack,” the source said. “It doesn’t even warrant a response it’s so ludicrous and patently untrue.”
A second source close to the family said they had been left “open-mouthed” that Nicola’s friends were “pumping out untruths.” The source added: ““You wouldn’t expect this of your worst enemy, let alone close family members. The whole thing beggars belief.”
Some are worried that Brooklyn has cut himself off not just from his mum and dad, but his siblings and old friends too.

“It’s a desperately sad situation,” says one pal. “Everyone loves Brooklyn so much and hopes things can be resolved.”
Many have pointed to Nicola’s upbringing and the influence of her doting, yet combative billionaire businessman father Nelson Peltz. A source said: “You don’t get that rich by being shy and retiring. There is no doubt Nicola has inherited his spirit.”
Her in-laws have watched as both Nicola, and her father, have launched two expensive lawsuits in as many years.

First, Mr Peltz sued the wedding planners who oversaw Nicola and Brooklyn nuptials last April because of alleged ‘mistakes’. The planners hit back and filed a counterclaim in a Miami court for breach of contract and ‘interference’ with a business deal. Both parties eventually settled.
Then last July, Nicola herself took legal action against the groomer who worked on her chihuahua Nala shortly before her death. A source said: “Nicola doesn’t take any prisoners and woe betide anyone who crosses her. The Beckhams are now in the crosshairs. It’s why no one can see any way this whole saga ends anytime soon.”

Shane Lowry moved to within a stroke of leader Kevin Mitchell after he shot 65 to finish the second round of the Truist Championship at 11 under.
The Irishman’s round featured six birdies and was the lowest of the day in soggy conditions on Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon Course.
Overnight leader, American Mitchell, who led the way with a 61 on Thursday, made two bogeys and five birdies in his round of 67.
“There’s a consistency to my whole game that has been very good,” said Lowry.
“I think I’m just maturing as a golfer, taking the rough with the smooth, the good days taking them well and the bad days working through them.”
The 38-year-old dismissed suggestions the damp conditions in Pennsylvania played to his strengths.
“Everyone says that to me every day when it rains!” added Lowry.
“I live in South Florida. I think I’m able to handle them probably better than a few people, but I don’t particularly like or enjoy going out and playing in these conditions.”
Rory McIlroy – last year’s winner and a four-time champion at the event – had an up-and-down round which included six birdies and three bogeys.
The 36-year-old Northern Irishman, who completed a career Grand Slam with his thrilling win over Justin Rose at last month’s Masters, ended the day in a six-way tie for fourth on seven under.
“I felt like today was another sort of scrappy one,” said McIlroy.
“I made what I feel are some uncharacteristic mistakes compared to how I’ve played the majority of the year.
“So just got to try to iron that out over the next couple of days, try to shoot a couple of scores without as many bogeys on the card.”
