Taking to her social media page on Thursday, the new mum – who welcomed baby Hakavai Hoskin just last week – showed that she and her fiancé Michael were getting out and about with their son.

‘Mum and baby are happy and healthy (and Michael looks like the genie from Aladdin),’ she wrote, in reference to the fact that Michael was wearing their baby boy in a bright blue sling on his stomach.

Prior to that, Turia had taken to her blog saying that lots of people had been asking her how she was feeling about the birth.

‘“Are you nervous?” they’ll ask me,’ she said.

‘Yeah, of course, with any big change approaching, there’s a certain element of uncertainty.

‘And when you know that you’re going to experience pain, that can be pretty scary,’ she added.

But Turia went on to insist she’s not looking at it that way.

‘I’m re-framing it,’ she said. ‘It’s the same technique I use before every major surgery I have.

‘I write a list of all the bad things that could happen – it’s going to hurt, I don’t know if I can do it, what if I can’t handle the pain.

‘Then I write a list of all the good things – how grateful I am to still be here, to have a beautiful partner like Michael, and to get to experience this.’
