SINGER Paloma Faith has opened up about the difficult birth of her first child.
Speaking to The Sun, she revealed how ‘everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong’ and how she couldn’t walk properly for a couple of months.
She said: ‘‘I had 20 hours of labour, and a premature one, and then I wasn’t dilating. The baby was in jeopardy and so I had to have an emergency C-section.
“Because I’d been in labour for a long time I had something called PROM which is a premature rupture of waters.
“Then I just had so much other stuff go wrong afterwards because I also had an infection of the womb and really bad mastitis.
“I wasn’t very well for a long time afterwards. I don’t think I could really walk properly for a good two months.”
Crybaby is out now! Really hope you love it ❤

Paloma and her long-term partner, French artist Leyman Lahcine, have decided to keep the name and gender of their new addition private.
Despite the complications surrounding the birth, Paloma has said she would love more children, but would consider adoption.
She said: “The only way I can explain it is that I went to the gates of hell and I brought back an angel because it is just so incredible and I wouldn’t change a minute of it for the world because I just think I have made the best person ever.”
Paloma has unveiled her new single Crybaby, which serves as a taster of her upcoming fourth album, The Architect, expected later this year.
