Billie Shepherd, the former TOWIE star, has revealed a scary incident where her baby daughter Margot had a seizure.
Billie shared a picture of herself with her kids and wrote: "One exhausted mumma." She explained that Margot had been unwell with a virus and on Sunday she had a febrile seizure.
She said: "My little darling Margot has had a nasty virus, on Sunday Margot had a febrile seizure, it was the most terrifying moment of my life. It was caused due to a spike in her temperature, I was so scared and didn't know what to do, we of course called an ambulance and Margot was examined at the hospital."
She added that after talking to many doctors, they all told her the same thing - these seizures are quite common but not often talked about. So, she decided to share her story to help others know what to do in such a situation.
