Charlotte Crosby books C-section as she prepares to welcome first child: ‘I’m not keen to push a baby out of my vagina’

Geordie Shore store is expecting a baby with boyfriend Jake Ankers, having announced the exciting news back in April.But, she’s revealed that she isn’t keen on ‘pushing a baby out of my vagina’, so she’s opting for a caesarean section, rather than a natural birth.Charlotte, 31, said she would prefer to have the surgical procedure to deliver her pregnancy after previously struggling with post-traumatic stress from her ectopic pregnancy in 2016.‘I’ve never really been keen to push a baby out of my vagina.

I’m too scared to have a natural birth’, she told new! magazine.‘There’s always been something scary about it for me and when I had the ectopic pregnancy it scared me even more.‘Because I went through that horrendous time where I almost died, I know how things can go drastically wrong.’Charlotte – whose mum has been diagnosed with breast cancer despite having no symptoms – recently celebrated her baby shower with her nearest and dearest, adding that it was especially nice to see fellow her Geordie Shore stars, such as Marnie Simpson, who is now a mum of two, since she doesn’t ‘get to see her that often’.‘I see Sophie [Kasaei] more than I see my own mum.

Marnie and I got the chance to bond over the fact I was pregnant and she’s given me so much amazing advice.’Chatting with Marnie is what helped Charlotte to decide on a C-section, since her co-star had a traumatic 28-hour labour first time around, which resulted in her needing two blood transfusions.
