Amanda Holden Vows 'No More Kids' After Birth Ordeal

Amanda Holden has vowed not to have any more children after her daughter's birth left her at death's door.

The Britain's Got Talent judge was left fighting for her life in intensive care after she suffered heavy blood loss during the birth of her second girl, Hollie, last month.

Amanda has revealed her heart stopped for 40 seconds as her body struggled to accept a blood transfusion and doctors had to use special fake blood, which finally began to clot.

The bubbly blonde admits her brush with death has made her happy with her two children, insisting she wouldn't be able to go through the same ordeal again.

In an interview with The Sun, she said: "I'd love a bigger family - but that's it! No more - I couldn't face it again."

Amanda, who suffered a miscarriage in 2010 and gave birth to stillborn son last year, admits she would have liked a bigger family if she had met her husband Chris earlier - but she is happy with her girls, Hollie and older sister Lexi.

She adds: "Two kids is the perfect number for me. I think we'll stop at two. I think that this is what we're supposed to have. Maybe we'll get some rabbits instead.

"If I'd met Chris earlier then I probably would have wanted more children. But we had a fabulous long courtship, nice meals out and brilliant holidays and now we've got two beautiful children.

"We will never forget our little boy, obviously. I said just after Hollie was born that our family is complete and I mean that. I feel so lucky that we've got to where we are.

"I look around the house at my husband and my two children and I think, 'This is amazing. This is perfect'. We always joked about being married and having a "coupla kids" and now we have. And after what we've been through, there's no way I'm putting anyone through that again."

I'm so grateful - I don't think I could stand another Holden pregnancy.

So ill but it didn't stop her going back to work? just a couple of weeks after giving birth.
I'm sure some of these so-called celebs have babies just to brag about it .Pity she doesn't spend more time with her children, or is she afraid someone will take her place, anyone's got to be better then her anyway, she's so full of herself.

Well she's already sold her soul to the SoS.........

Prediction= in 12 months time she will be separating from her husband due to all the stress caused by this birth.(Yawn) I used to despise Amanda Holden when she used Les Dennis to catapult herself into the celebrity arena.Then I warmed to her as she seemed to be a a humble judge on Britains Got Talent, then I saw how she flirted with Simon and I realised this woman is all about "herself".
She is vain beyond belief and a two bit drama queen that will sell her soul for a front page headline.

She's not the only one to have gone through this, I lost an awful lot of blood after giving birth to my youngest child, also dying while they tried to stem the bleeding and give me blood, whereas she has said that she's not having any more children i was told not to have any because if the same thing happened again i probably wouldn't survive but my experience wasn't splashed over the front page of the newspapers, it happens to more women than anyone imagines but amanda and her hubby think they are the only ones that has experienced it

NO MORE KIDS SHE SAYS, CAN WE HAVE THAT IN WRITING. GO AWAY YOU POINTLESS WOMAN.
12:34 PM on 02/27/2012
We'll all say Amen to that after the blow by blow account we've had of her labour.
You'd think it had never been done before.
03:09 PM on 02/27/2012
We would all agree with that comment. Do you think she might go the final mile and declare "NO MORE PUBLICITY SEEKING"
03:35 PM on 02/27/2012
Don't push it!!
12:13 PM on 02/27/2012
what is it about this Z lister that the media are so engrossed with. We are all sick and tired about how she died for 40 seconds. She survived, get over it. Everyone is sick to the back teeth of her. Hope she donates the money she is making from selling her story in the Sun on Sunday (4 pages worth) to the hospital that "saved" her.

Thank goodness .Maybe we'll get a break from her stories then.
11:27 AM on 02/27/2012
So are we to get a daily running commentary from Amanda on her family life? I do hope not! Go away, you silly woman!
