She told OK! magazine: “I screamed as the doctors tried to revive her.
“I was losing loads and loads of blood – the placenta burst and had to be manually removed.
“In a split second we went from tears of joy and holding our baby to chaos.”
After being discharged from hospital and allowed to return home with her baby daughter, Kerry took to her Twitter to thank fans for their support following the “traumatic” experience, and also publicly thanked her fiancé George Kay for standing by her and helping her through the ordeal.
He also opened up to OK! about the harrowing experience, stating: “In my lifetime I’ve seen some horrific things but the thought of losing your two most loved people at the same time… I was a mess.”
This is the couple’s first child together, though Kerry already has four children from her previous marriages to Mark Croft and Westlife singer Brian McFadden.
They announced that they were engaged last April, though have since revealed they want to have a small wedding following the news that Kerry had been declared bankrupt.
