"Turns out Marty has two breast abscesses," Michael captioned a picture of her sitting in a hospital bed.
A breast abscess is a build-up of pus in the breast caused by an infection and it appears the former MAFS star and new mum had some early signs of the condition.

With the help of some friends, Michael was quick to sort out resources to keep himself and Lucius sorted for the evening.
Among the deliveries were a new outfit for Lucius and some items to help Martha get through the night and a pillow for Michael for his makeshift bed on a lounge chair.

The abscess diagnosis came two days after the Martha shared a video of Michael, attempting to clear a blocked duct in her chest himself.
She clearly knew there was something going on and tried to get Michael to suck the 'block' out, although he didn't really do too well at the time.

"You've got to suck harder than that, the baby sucks harder than that," Martha said, trying to hold back laughter.
"It's not one constant, it's got to be like, sucking."
"How do I suck any harder than that?" Michael replied. "I've got no strength in my suck!"
"You've got to breathe through your nose," Martha explained.
She tried to instruct him to breathe while doing it, although clearly his efforts weren't going to work due to the severity of the actual issue.
Despite the humour of the video that stunned fans, serious hospital visits are not foreign to the reality TV star who suffered from hyperemesis gravidarumthroughout her pregnancy.
