Just two weeks after giving birth to her darling daughter Orla Mae Edney, new mum Danielle Armstrong is still on cloud nine.
When new calls her for our exclusive interview, the former TOWIE star is elated to have started a family with her construction project manager fiancé Tom Edney, who listens in and helps her remember the crucial details of their first weeks as parents.
“Surprisingly, I feel alright,” Danielle tells us. “A lot of people say after having a baby you can sometimes get the baby blues or get emotional, but I feel absolutely fine. I’m in my little bubble.” Aw.
The Essex girl had to be induced in hospital after going 10 days overdue, and went on to spend 72 hours in labour as her little one was in no rush to come out!
After the traumatic birth, Orla was rushed to an incubator, leaving Danielle, 32, alone and frightened. Thankfully an hour and a half later the baby girl, weighing 8lb 11oz, was reunited with her adoring mum, who tells us she’s “obsessed” with the tot, who was born on 26 May.
Danielle credits her partner of just under a year Tom, 32, for being so hands-on and for helping her out with the night-time feeds.
“Tom is amazing and he’s a complete natural,” she gushes. “He adores her and she’s his double.”
Tom chimes in, saying how great a mum Danielle is. “I always knew she would be,” he says.
