Actress Jessie, 34, opened up about the birth of her child Becker in an Instagram post, showing herself and her newborn in hospital.
“Hellish birth, heavenly baby,” she captioned the snaps of her breastfeeding her daughter, who was dressed in a tiny knitted jumper.
“Oxytocin overdose, giant pads,” Jessie briefly detailed of the complications, as she remained in the hospital for another day.
Referencing the two plush animals placed next to her newborn in one of the snaps, the star concluded: “Smaller than the seahorse and roughly the same size as the flamingo.”
Her fans rushed to the comments to gush over the mother-of-four, including close pal and singer Paloma Faith.
“You are a hero,” the Only Love Can Hurt Like This singer wrote, as Corrie’s Helen Flanagan added: “Congratulations darling, super mum.”

“I asked them, ‘What’s your favourite bit about Harry Potter?’ hoping they would say, ‘You, mummy’ – but they find me quite embarrassing in it!”
She added: “They can’t get over the fact that I kiss Ron.”
