Kate Ferdinand broke down in tears in an emotional new video, as she detailed her daughter’s “frightening” health scare.
The former TOWIE star and her footballer husband Rio welcomed their second child together – a baby girl named Shae, back in July.
Kate previously told how their “gorgeous little girl” was born with congenital pneumonia.
In a new clip, shared via Instagram, Kate is seen wiping away tears as she holds her newborn in her hospital bed.
The former TOWIE star says: “I could just tell they thought there was something wrong. She’s not taking in the right amount of oxygen so she’s gone to the special care unit.”
Her husband Rio then opens up about how they had to spend the first night in the hospital with Shae “alone” in another ward.
The footballer says: “You don’t ever think about the negatives, you don’t think about what can go wrong, you don’t ever come into a hospital thinking that your first night is gonna be your baby alone, on another ward.”
Rio continues: “The kids are saying ‘where’s the pictures? send pictures’ They’re all excited, but I don’t want to send the first picture of the baby with all the wires.”
Kate adds: “I’m being really strong, but if I talk about it I will cry because I just want her here now.”
Sharing the clip via Instagram, the reality star penned: “Our special girl Shae. After all your lovely messages of encouragement I’ve finally plucked up the courage and will be sharing our birth story on @blended new YouTube Channel over the weekend.”
“Please subscribe to blendedcommunity to watch. Oh it’s making me all teary just re watching this.”
Last month, Kate revealed her baby daughter Shae had a “frightening” health scare.
The reality star penned: 10 weeks of Shae 🤍. 10 weeks of being in our little 🫧 getting to know my gorgeous little girl & adapting to life with 5 kids .. 😅.”
“Thank you for all checking in on me … we are both well, although she made quite the entrance into this world & gave us a fright being born with congenital pneumonia, thankfully she recovered quickly but those first few days without my baby have really made me want to soak up every moment with her.”
“I’m completely obsessed 🤍. So many ups and downs but I’m trying to get used to our new way of life & into a little routine (kinda) 🤣.”
Kate continued to write: “We did actually record some of our hospital stay but I’ve been a little anxious to share it as emotions are high.”
“Maybe I’ll pluck up the courage soon. I hope you’re all well & thanks for bearing with me 🤍.”
“Picture 4 – after nearly 6 weeks of not being able to pick up my Creecree, (he weighs 20kg 😳)I was just so sad, this was at 8 weeks and the best cuddle ever 🥹❤️.”
