'I'D 100% LIVE STREAM MY NEXT BIRTH'

SUPER MUM

Three months ago, Ferne McCann invited OK! into her home to introduce tiny baby Finty to the world. She’d been born a mere six days earlier, and the new family-of-four were so blissfully happy in their baby bubble, that the birthing pool remained inflated in the garden!

Despite the doting new mum being delighted that she was able to fulfill her dream of a home birth, she did tell us that the experience was nothing like she imagined and that the plan “went out of the window”.

This week however, fans of the reality star will be able to witness the magical moment little Finty came into the world on Ferne’s brand new ITVBe show, My Family & Me.

Opening up about her daughter’s birth for the first time, Ferne says she’s “buzzing” to finally share her story. “Talking about it now makes me feel incredibly proud and emotional,” the 33-year-old reveals. “I had such a clear vision in my mind about how I wanted it to happen but you can only plan so much. I wanted a home water birth. I got my home birth – but it did take an unpredictable turn!”

Just like her five-year-old sister Sunday, baby Finty arrived a week early on 6 July, weighing 7lb 1oz. Little did Ferne know just how quickly Finty wanted to make an entrance.

After experiencing what Ferne felt to be a contraction, she went for a check-up, only to be assured that she wasn’t in labour. But she left the hospital convinced that Finty was on her way.

“I just plugged into my intuition,” explains Ferne. “We got home and I had a raspberry leaf tea, which apparently can help bring on labour. Then we decided to go to a Thai restaurant. By the time the sizzling beef arrived, I was having a contraction every 10 minutes.
