Amy Childs has shared details of the scary moment her newborn son suffered a prolapsed umbilical cord during the reality TV star's waters broke.
The mum-of-four, 32, was overjoyed and delighted when she gave birth to twins Billy and Amelia last month, but has since recalled the challenging labour she endured.
Amy, who is also a proud mum to Polly, five and Ritchie, four, had to undergo an emergency C-section in order to welcome her twins into the world with her partner Billy Delbosq, 40.
The former TOWIE star had a birth plan but due to baby Billy suffering a prolapsed cord, things didn't go to plan.
"It’s really rare. The midwife was amazing, she knew the cord was there," Amy remembers.

The new mum-of-four continues to recall taking it in turns with her partner to see baby Billy in the unit - admitting it was "really sad" at the time.
But Amy is focusing on the positives these days, like enjoying cuddles with baby Billy, and explaining how everyone is "fine" now and declaring she is "very much a positive person."
Speaking to OK! magazine, Amy goes on to marvel at how her six-week-old twins "look completely different" and are both "really good babies."
