The 36-year-old was moved to tears as she recalled each terrifying moment of the birth of her son Wilfred, whom she brought along today, to introduce to the world.
Natalie, who underwent a Caesarean section and was treated for pre-eclampsia, recounted the frightening experience to show hosts Philip Schofield and Amanda Holden.
Breaking down in tears, Natalie recalled: "The scariest bit for me was hearing his heart rate go. And they said they needed to get him out straight away."
"I noticed that he just wasn't kicking as much. And I remember saying to my mum that 'it just doesn't feel right'...so I did go in [to hospital] and they had a look and had to break my waters, and they were full of meconium and his little heart rate plummeted," she said, adding, "It was so scary."
Natalie admitted that she has felt compelled to share her story, in a bid to encourage other women not to remain silent about their own experiences.
"I really don't want to scare anyone, but I do want to say to mums that have been through something to not be afraid to talk about it, because that really has been the thing that's helped me," she added.
We are so glad to hear that Natalie and Wilfred are doing well now after their traumatic experience.
