Chloe Madeley has opened up about the 'terrifying' experience of watching her baby’s heartbeat plummet during a difficult eight-hour labour. In an exclusive interview with OK! the personal trainer daughter of Richard and Judy shared her birth story for the first time. New mum Chloe said each time the alarms in the labour room would go off she would see her husband James Haskell getting more and more nervous.
Chloe had been six days overdue when her waters broke in bed with her husband. She was induced 24 hours later at hospital but the labour struggled to progress. Chloe told OK!: “So it started at about midnight, and went on until about 8am, and I was on the drip and had the epidural in my spine.
"I was in and out of it all night, it was a really weird experience. James was incredible - he was sat bolt upright watching me the whole time. "And I would say every time they tried to up the hormonal drip to try and push me into really established labour, transitional labour, to the point where I’d have to push, her heart rate plummeted and all the alarms started going off, and all the midwives would run in.That was terrifying.
“I could see James was getting more and more nervous as the hours were getting on, I think it happened four or five times over the course of eight hours, and it kept happening, and it was scary. I felt really safe and protected by the midwives who knew what they were doing but it was really scary because you’re just thinking, there’s alarms going off and people keep running in.” At 8am, the obstetrician alerted Chloe that she would need an emergency C-section as baby Bodhi’s heartbeat was getting weaker by the minute.The news made the 35-year-old burst into tears. Chloe adds: “She said, ‘I’m so sorry
