Fox News star Kat Timpf revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer just hours before giving birth to her first child.

The 36-year-old continued to appear on television even during her third trimester of pregnancy. She recently revealed some of the unpleasant remarks she has received from viewers regarding her growing baby bump.

Timpf announced she delivered her son last week in a shocking Instagram post on Tuesday.

‘Last week, I welcomed by first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer,’ she said.

‘My doctors say it’s stage zero and is confident that it almost certainly hasn’t spread.’

She recounted the hectic day that led up to her diagnosis and how she used humor to cope with the news.

‘I woke up more-than-a-week-past-due pregnant, completely consumed by doing everything I could to get the baby out,’ she said.

‘By the afternoon, I was waddling around from appointment to appointment, talking about how to get my cancer out.

‘I asked all the questions I could, including if I could get a copy of my tumor ultrasound to put on the fridge next to the ultrasound of my baby.’

Timpf – who wed 38-year-old Army vet Cameron Friscia in 2021 – also revealed the gender of her child.

‘Finally, by the middle of the night, I was crawling around the floor of my apartment in spontaneous labor, before heading to the hospital to meet my baby, whom I’d learn at the time of birth was a son.’

Timpf said she is finally on maternity leave after being bombarded with hate for working as long as she could.

‘These next three months of maternity leave are going to look a lot different than I’d anticipated, and I’m still getting used to my new reality,’ she said.

‘Still, as I navigate new motherhood (and new cancer) I’m learning to celebrate everything I can.

‘I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I’m lucky to be my son’s mom. I mean, I know I’m biased, but the little dude absolutely rules – and not just because he might have saved my life.’

Last month, Timpf addressed her haters who slammed her for working late into her pregnancy.

‘I am under the close care of a doctor, and I promise that both of us know and care far more about my health and the health of my own baby than any random online stranger does from just seeing me on TV,’ she said.

‘Although I’m sure much of it is well-intentioned, I don’t need to be bombarded with comments about how my belly looking this way or that way clearly means I will be needing this or that.

‘Or how I shouldn’t be at work, or concerns about my “amniotic fluid” or any other wildly personal medical thing.

‘See you all tonight!’ the longtime Fox talent went on to conclude, before appearing on Fox’s highly rated Gutfeld! later that night.

On February 11, she gave an Instagram update on her pregnancy saying, ‘Yes, I’m still pregnant. Yes, I’m past my due date.’

‘Yes, this is the longest pregnancy of all time,’ she joked, after promising to appear on both Fox News and Gutfeld right up until the day she delivers her and her husband’s firs baby..

‘Yes, I’m still working,’ she added. ‘No, I don’t want to stop working.’
