After welcoming her first child last week, Maria Fowler has now been sharing how difficult the birth was with her fans.
In a series of tweets to her 462K followers, Maria spoke about the problems she encountered during her "complicated" pregnancy.
The former TOWIE star said she lost half of her body's blood after giving birth and took to the social media platform to thank the hospital staff who helped her.
"Want to thank GiveBlood NHS for all that you do. After losing half my body's blood, without your services I would be very poorly now. Donate people x" Maria pleaded with fans.

When one follower asked if boyfriend Kelvin donates, Maria said:
"He is already a donor. I'm on Anthony Nolan register but can't donate blood now I've had a transfusion".

This is Maria and Kelvin's first child together and it seems the new parents loved getting the chance to share a glimpse at their little girl.
