The 39-year-old singer confirmed she underwent a C-section as planned on Saturday (20.02.21) and is now a proud mother of two.
Paloma has documented every stage of her pregnancy with her regular "pregnancy diary" updates on Instagram and, on Sunday (21.02.21), she confirmed she was no longer pregnant and had given birth to the couple's "new little cherub" after an exhausting birthing experience.
The 'Only Love Can Hurt Like This' hitmaker shared with her followers that her nipples are like "baby piranha that wants to kill me", as she admitted she's not sure whether she can face breastfeeding the newborn like she did with her first born.
Alongside a black and white photograph of her baby daughter's feet and a snap of her in the hospital bed, she wrote: "Well I’m not pregnant anymore! I had a planned c section yesterday I’m in a lot of pain and didn’t sleep last night but it’s worth it to see and meet the new little cherub I have infront of me. It’s been about 30 hours and already I’m
Exhausted, sore and my nipples are on fire with a baby piranha that wants to kill me
On them every few hours but I am of course elated! This baby couldn’t be more loved or wanted if she tried (yes I have two gals). I’m now going through the constant worry of bottle vs breast, last time I breast fed exclusively and I think it was too hard! I don’t know if I wana put myself through that this time..... but I’m
Trying anyway. And my nipples are on fire. Lost a litre of blood and I’m in so much pain despite the pain killers.
The joys! (sic)"
The 'Upside Down' singer recently admitted to feeling so much anxiety about the world around her that she refused to go outside until her baby was born.
She said: "My anxiety is through the roof ... Some people I knew approached me in the park yesterday as I was taking my little one for a walk for some exercise and I felt like I was going to break down into tears begging them not to come near as I scrambled to put both our masks on. They were so kind and empathetic and kept away but I vowed that would be the last time I step outside my house again until the baby is born."
The 'Voice Kids' coach - who gave birth to her first daughter in December 2016 - announced last September that she was pregnant after six rounds of IVF.
Paloma decided with her first child not to publicly disclose her daughter's name.
