Myleene Klass reveals she ‘lost five hours’ of her life during labour

Myleene Klass has revealed her baby son’s name is Apollo as she speaks out on her ‘complicated’ birth with her third child. 

The classical musician said she could not remember hours of her ‘extreme’ labour earlier this month, as she welcomed her first child with partner Simon Motson by her side. 

Speaking to Hello Magazine, Myleene, 41, explained her little boy’s name was inspired by her two biggest interests in life, gushing: ‘Apollo is the god of music and science – my two passions. We thought it was such a strong name and at 8lbs 5oz, he was a strong, bouncing boy.’

While Apollo was a healthy weight, Myleene explained that the birth was ‘complicated’, revealing:  ‘My waters broke and I was in the birthing pool. We had a really easy first three hours, to the point that I thought we would all be home by 7pm. 

‘But I don’t remember what happened next. I lost five hours of my life and it was a pretty complicated birth in the end.’

The mum-of-three added that giving birth in her 40s had been ‘an extremely different experience’ to what she had been through previously.

However with her baby now safe and sound at home, the Classic FM presenter added that she knew time was precious and that means revelling in the moments she is able to spend with her baby, even the gruelling night feeds.

Following the birth of her third child earlier this month, Myleene shared a simple snap of her newborn’s hand alongside the date he was born – 01.08.19.

On Saturday the former Hear’Say singer made a return to her Instagram page to share a glimpse of her eldest child Ava Quinn’s lavish 12th birthday party. 

The party saw Ava and her friends treated to a nail polish inspired cake, personalised T-shirts and a sleepover in a luxury Teepee which came with beds adorned with sparkling cushions. 

Each guest was also given a plush pamper gift set that included sleeping masks, slippers and complimentary robes to take home.

‘It was more amazing than I could have imagined. Thank you @sleepyteepeeuk for waving your magic wand, you’re the absolute best!’ 

In July, Myleene, who is also a mum to younger daughter Hero, eight, told ITV’s Lorraine Kelly that her daughters could not wait to become big sisters and had even starting picking out names for their new brother. 

She said: ‘They are over the moon. They are planning everything already. They are going to be baby mini mummies. They have come up with names too… Snoop Dogg, Jason Derulo.’ 

Myleene first went public with her relationship to Simon in May 2017. 

The pair announced they were expecting their first child together on Valentine’s Day (February 14).  

Speaking to Fabulous magazine about her relationship with Simon, Myleene previously said: ‘How awful that I could have gone through my life and not met him. Imagine never getting why people write those crazy love songs or do crazy things.

‘I get it now as a grown-up, and it’s a lovely, lovely thing. To feel like this is a whole other level, and it’s quite incredible. I’m just very happy. About time, eh?’
