Chloe Madeley is ‘embracing the pain’ of her c-section after admitting she feels reluctant to take strong painkillers while looking after a newborn.
The personal trainer, 35, said she feared taking opioids would cloud the experience of being a first-time mum to baby Bodhi with husband James Haskell, and instead is nourishing her body with food to aid her recovery.
Speaking to OK!, she said: “I’m in so much pain now that a lot of my mental energy is going on pain management. I don’t want to take loads and loads of painkillers as I’ve got a newborn to look after. "I don’t want to be taking opioids even though I do have them.
I want to be present and I want to enjoy it, and with that it means embracing pain, so the last thing I’m thinking about now it training or exercise, I’m like - I need to eat what I want to eat and recover.” Chloe gave birth via emergency c-section on 10th August to daughter Bodhi who weighed 7lb 9oz and has “long legs like her dad’s”.
