Snezana Wood has revealed the illness that kept her separated from her newborn daughter Harper Jones, who was born a month premature earlier this month.

In an Instagram post on Friday, The Bachelor star, 41, said Harper was sent to special care nursery for an infection while she was taken to another hospital for sepsis.

Sepsis is a life-threatening complication of an infection, with symptoms including fever, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure and a fast heart rate.

Snezana shared precious photos of husband Sam Wood, 41, cradling daughter Harper, and thanked him for being her strength while she battled sepsis.

'Daddy cuddles - 8 days old. Can't imagine how stressful and scary it was for you @samjameswood seeing our baby taken to special care nursery and me get taken away to another hospital all while keeping your cool and staying calm and not letting me see you worry,' Snezana began.

'Our little Harper had an infection and mama here sepsis but you never told me or showed me how serious it was or how worried you were. You stayed calm which kept me calm.'

Snezana went on to praise Sam for going back and forth between hospitals as they look forward to having their little girl home with her three older sisters. 

'I love you. Thank you again for being you, thank you for being my strength and helping me get through what has been the toughest most stressful three weeks we've ever experienced,' she gushed.

'You are my everything, I love you to the moon and back and couldn't have gotten through this without you. Xx.'

Earlier on Friday, Snezana updated her fans on the progress of baby Harper and said she's doing a lot better.

'Our precious little Harper. Three weeks - no monitors and no feeding tubes!' the delighted mother
