New mum Chloe Madeley reveals she had emergency C-section and shares big parenting fear in candid post
CHLOE Madeley has opened up on her emergency C-section after welcoming her baby daughter with James Haskell.
The fitness trainer and her I'm A Celeb star husband introduced the newborn to fans on Instagram recently with a series of sweet photos.
They revealed her name as Bodhi Rae Georgia Haskell and said it’s a “love that escapes all words.”
Now, Chloe has shared that she delivered her daughter via an emergency C-section and the star shared a polaroid picture to discuss it.
The 35-year-old wrote: “The thing I was most apprehensive about my whole pregnancy? It wasn’t the childbirth, which I was quietly certain would go to plan [laughing emoji].
“It wasn’t the fact we were moving house at 37 weeks. It was breastfeeding, which I was absolutely certain would fall apart for me in a matter of days, if not hours, like it did for so many friends and family members of mine.
“What I learned throughout my pregnancy, and what I’ve learned since in the postnatal period, is not to take your body personally (even though your visceral reaction will likely tell you to). Don’t do it.

“Don’t think that because you expect your body to do something, it will, and don’t think you should attach any kind of emotion to that whatsoever.”
Chloe then discussed her emergency C-section and admitted it was something he “could never have predicted.”
She said: “After a decade long love affair of action / reaction between myself and my body respectively, I can safely say that the tables have turned. Expectations…lol.”
Chloe, the daughter of TV stars Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, thanked husband James for “going on this adventure with me,” after the birth of their baby.
And James, 37, paid his own tribute to the women in his life.
The former rugby star said he broke down in tears when Bodhi was born, and was amazed by his wife's strength throughout her pregnancy and labour.
He wrote: "Welcome to the world my beautiful daughter Bodhi Rae Georgia Haskell🥰🥰 yes I cried like a baby when she came out😂😂💪🏼💪🏼
