Danielle Lloyd: My premature baby Harry could've had brain damage - it was terrifying

The mum-of-2 talks about her son's stay in hospital

Danielle Lloyd has spoken out about the terrifying time following the premature birth of her second son Harry.

The model was rushed to hospital by fiancé Jamie O'Hara, 24, when she went into labour 10 weeks early in July, giving birth to 4lb 4oz Harry just an hour later.

Harry was taken straight to intensive care due to a hole in his heart and lack of oxygen to his brain.

'I went to see him in hospital one day to find that he'd pulled his ventilator out and his life support had switched off,' says Danielle, 27.

'His breathing was really heavy and there was no oxygen going to his brain and it could've caused brain damage.'

Harry was put straight back on the life support machine and is now home with his parents and big brother Archie.

'It was the most terrifying moment of my life,' Danielle admits. 'I just sobbed my heart out.'
