Alex Nation has rushed her son, Maxwell to hospital after he was struck down with gastro for five days. 

The former Bachelor star took to Instagram to share a number of confronting photos of the 11 month being admitted. 

Alex was seen cradling Maxwell in one photo attached to a nasogastric tube.

Alex explained she had to watch the nasogastric tube being inserted into him, which was ‘awful’ for the new mother. 

Alex then shared a photo of herself cradling Maxwell as they were transported to hospital from their home in Beechworth, in northern Victoria. 

‘The transport drivers were the absolute best,’ Alex wrote. ‘Nurses and doctors are angels on earth.’

In September, the blonde beauty revealed she was engaged to Carson Jory.

Alex and Carson welcomed Maxwell in September last year. 

The new baby is Alex’s second child – she also shares a 11-year-old son named Elijah with her ex-husband Joel Porter.

Fans of The Bachelor will remember Alex as the winner of the fourth season, but her romance with rope-access technician Richie Strahan didn’t last.

They quietly broke up in 2017, after filming the show the previous year.

Alex later came out as pansexual and revealed she was dating a woman, Maegan Luxa, from her local Melbourne footy team.

They got engaged in December 2017, but split the following April. They remain friends.
