Chloe Madeley shares emotional post as she says childbirth 'didn't go to plan'

Chloe Madeley has opened up about her birth experience, explaining it 'didn't go to plan'.

Chloe, 35, and husband James Haskell, 37, welcomed their little one on 10 August and Chloe has since opened up about her daughter's birth, thanking medical staff and husband James for all their support and for being a 'dream' birthing partner.

Chloe wrote: "Forever grateful that even though my childbirth did not go to plan, I was surrounded by compassionate, skilled, knowledgeable and experienced women from start to finish.

"Here is my deepest, most heartfelt thank you to all the midwives out there who pull long shifts, have to make difficult decisions under pressure, have seen a hell of a lot of good and bad, and exercise compassion and reassurance every single day for those under their care.

"Also to the obstetricians who are exactly where they need to be, exactly when they need to be there, and who manage to see the whole thing through with what seems to be complete ease.

"And @jameshaskell, after I nearly fired you from your post for fear you would be at another DJ gig when I went into labour, you were the DREAM birth partner. I couldn’t have wished for anyone better to hold my hand and talk me through everything from start to finish... thank you... I love you... we DO make cute babies."

Chloe and James announced the birth of their daughter earlier this month, taking to Instagram with an adorable black and white snap of their little one's hand.

"We are delighted to welcome to the world our daughter. We are utterly besotted and beaming with pride," said Chloe.

"Our baby girl was born Wednesday morning, 10/08/22, 8.36am."

The couple first revealed they were expecting a baby back in February with a beautiful video montage of baby scans and photos.

Chloe had previously opened up about her and James' journey to becoming pregnant, explaining she became worried after months of trying.

She told OK!: "We picked up the pace in terms of trying and that nervousness turned into utter fear. Like, ‘Hang on, I don’t want this option taken away from me'.

“I woke up in the middle of the night and it hit me like a ton of bricks. And that pushed me into making a decision and that I absolutely wanted to have a family."

Speaking about the possibility of IVF and adoption, she added: “I was getting to grips with the fact it might have to happen like that for me."

We're so happy for these two!
