She captioned the snap: ‘One of those challenging days as a parent. The love we have for our children is beyond words.

A hernia is the bulging of an organ or tissue through the skin that can cause pain and swelling, and is usually the result of a breakdown in the abdominal wall.
Rachael, who is also a mother to one-year-old son Dominic, later took to her Instagram Story to share updates on the hospital visit.

Rachael met her husband Michael on while filming Dancing With The Stars in 2010.
Michael, who is a professional dancer, was her partner on the show and they struck up a romance during rehearsals.
The couple married in 2013, welcoming their first child, Violet, in September 2013 and Dominic in March last year.
