Katie Price has shared a terrifying story about her first pregnancy with her son Harvey. On her podcast, The Katie Price Show, she revealed that doctors had to break her waters with what felt like a "knitting needle hook", causing her extreme pain.
The former glamour model, who was 24 at the time, said her son was two and a half weeks overdue. She recalled looking at her mum and best friend Sally as if they were holding her down because the pain was so intense.
"I remember looking at mum and Sally as if they were holding me down as a hostage because you know I can't bear anything like that. Oh my God, it hurt. I was looking at mum like, 'Help me! Help me!'" Harvey, Katie's eldest son, has septo-optic dysplasia, autism and Prader-Willi syndrome.
His devoted mum has always been there for him despite his complex health conditions. Not only Harvey, Katie is also the proud mum of four more kids. From her marriage with singer Peter Andre, she has son Junior, 18, and daughter Princess, 16.
She had two more kids with actor Kieran Hayler: son Jett, 11 and daughter Bunny, 10. Despite having tough pregnancies in the past, she hasn't closed the door on having a sixth baby. In August 2023, Katie let everyone know about her plan to have a baby with then-boyfriend Carl Woods.
Despite one unsuccessful IVF attempt in 2022, she wasn't disheartened. Later, it was reported that Katie had asked for help from a fan to be her surrogate. A source told The Sun: "Katie's signed up a fan of hers to act as a surrogate this woman has been over to stay at Katie's house and babysat her kids before." Even though Carl and Katie have now parted ways, she is still open to having another child in the future if she finds her Mr Right.
