Paris Fury has opened up about the horrifying moment she was left screaming ‘my baby’s dying’ after having a traumatic birth with daughter Athena.
The mum-of-seven, 33, revealed her little girl, who is now two, was born with a fast heartbeat of 300 beats a minute – the normal rate is around the 120 beats mark.
The Loose Women star admitted she still ‘shudders’ as she thinks back to being in hospital with her daughter.
As medical staff tried to slow Athena’s heart rate it failed to work which caused ‘a load of other complications’ meaning the mother and daughter were swiftly transferred from the Royal Lancaster Infirmary to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.
The Fury family then had a nightmare two weeks after the baby girl was put into a neo-natal intensive care unit (NICU).

Family: Paris and Tyson are already parents to Venezuela, 13, Prince John James, 11, Prince Tyson II, seven, Valencia Amber, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, and Athena, two
Discussing the terrifying birth in her new book, How Does She Do It? The Kids, Tyson & Me, Paris said she had never felt so fragile and helpless.
Paris explained: ‘It was clear Athena was having the fight of her life, and that any deterioration might cause her to slip away at any moment.’
Following being on a ventilator, medics believed Athena was stable and Paris, who had only just been able to hold her daughter again since giving birth went through her ‘worst nightmare’ just moments later.
She continued: ‘Suddenly she became pale, floppy and unresponsive and I could see she’d stopped breathing.
‘My blood ran cold and I let out a piercing scream “MY BABY’S DYING!” I shouted as a nurse immediately hit the red emergency buzzer’.
Doctors quickly surrounded the little girl and resuscitated her after her heart completely stopped.
During the chaotic scene, the mum called husband Tyson, 35, who had gone on a run to get back as quickly as he could.
The heavy weight boxing champion arrived just in time to see the medical staff revive their daughter and reconnect her to the ventilator.
