She explained how her eldest daughter Sophia contracted viral meningitis during their vacation and admitted that she had never been so scared in her life.
Meningitis is an inflammation of the layers of tissue that cover the brain and spinal cord, which can be very serious and potentially life-changing if not treated quickly.
Speaking on her and Peter’s collaborative podcast The Therapy Crouch on Tuesday’s episode, Abbey recalled, “The school holidays were tough.
“We arrived in Portugal and Sophia was hospitalized with meningitis, which was just the scariest thing on earth — being in a foreign hospital, language barriers, the words like meningitis thrown around, wood pricks, brain scans.
“It was horrible – I felt so vulnerable – and scary. But I have to say the medical care there was just out of this world.
“These things always happen on a Sunday at 1am to add to the fear and the scary of the situation. It can never be a normal hour.’
Abbey said she “knew” there was something wrong with Sophia and that she was not suffering from a normal virus before she was diagnosed with meningitis.
The mother-of-four shared how her and Peter’s fears increased when their youngest son Jack also developed a terrible cough and breathing problems, leading them to take him to hospital as well.

Abbey explained: ‘With three babies in the house I thought ‘what if they catch it? So we were on edge. We didn’t sleep at all. I watched each child like a hawk. It was just terrifying.
“The other three all got sick. They all got the flu and a cough. Sophia was out of the hospital and we were back in the hospital with them because I thought, “I have three other kids, could they get this viral meningitis?” It was traumatic.’
Abbey said she and Peter only got about four hours of sleep in 30 hours because of their fears for their children, which involved taking both Sophia and Jack to hospital.
Abbey said, “I’ve never been so scared in my life. And Jack also went to the hospital in Portugal because he was coughing.’
Peter, 42, added: ‘It was just because we were so concerned about Sophia, when he started coughing we felt like we had to take him.’
Abbey, who previously revealed she has a hospital phobia after Sophia spent three weeks in Great Ormond Street as a baby, continued: ‘Viral meningitis doesn’t present as a cough, but he literally wouldn’t stop coughing. He couldn’t breathe in between.’
Peter admitted that the tension of the situation drove him to his limits and led him to snap at Abbey for not wanting to take Jack in, even though he knew he had to get him checked.

He told Abbey on the podcast, “I had a little bite at you. I was just in bed. I thought I’d sleep with him to make sure he was okay. And he just wouldn’t stop coughing, and you were like “good, you have to take him to the hospital”.
“And I knew I had to, but I was like, ‘You just want me to live in hospitals.'”
Peter said he was on night shift at the hospital before they swapped for the day.
He continued, “Of course [Sophia] had to stay indoors so we just worked shifts. I was like doing the night shift and then Ab did the day shift.
“And we were completely on separate holidays. Honestly, it wasn’t a vacation, it was just taking care of her.
‘And it was scary, but then of course you also have to take care of the little ones. So of course that was a traumatic experience.’
