She's the apple of Una Healy’s eye but The Saturdays star has spoken of the ‘worst moment’ of her life when her new baby, Aoife Belle, started choking shortly after her birth.
The singer, who gave birth to Aoife Belle Foden on March 13, with England rugby player Ben Foden, said the arrival has transformed her life.
But she told Hello! magazine: 'I was screaming. It was the worst moment of my life.

'There’s this precious little person who you would die for and you just can’t bear to think of anything happening to her.'

Her rugby fiancé said the couple panicked when their daughter, who has now recovered, started 'forcefully' choking before doctors took control and helped her.
He said: 'We went into panic and pushed the emergency button and the next thing we knew, our baby was whisked away and there were alarm bells ringing and staff running around.'
The Irish star insists ‘there hasn’t been a dull moment’ since Aoife Belle was born.

She said: 'What with the feeding and the changing and the visitors and the hours we spend just gazing at her, taking in every little expression, it’s never dull.

'During the night, I’ll wake up, even when she’s sound asleep, and sneak a peek. She’ll be lying there, with her tiny hands up by her face - she’s so ladylike - and my heart could burst with love for her.'
The couple will wed this year, and Foden made no secret of his excitement at their new family.

He said: 'We weren’t trying for a baby… but we’d talked about starting a family and we’re in a loving and committed relationship, so it wasn’t a massive shock. I was over the moon. I plan on spending the rest of my life with Una.’
Last week, Una stepped out for the first time with her daughter as she took a stroll in the sunshine near her home in Bedfordshire, outside London.
It was the first time she has been spotted since giving birth and she showed off her trim figure in a floaty red dress and pumps.
The 30-year-old was spotted pushing the Mamas & Papas Mylo pram – the transport of choice for other A-list mums such as Gwen Stefani and Alicia Keys.
She was joined by her mother, Anne, who is understood to be staying with her daughter to help out.

At the time, onlookers said she looked a little nervous as she headed into a park near her Bedfordshire home with her mother.
But they added that after a few minutes Una started to relax and the trio soaked up the sun.

The full interview is in the new issue of Hello! magazine, on sale now.
