It's supposed to be the most wonderful moment of a mother's life, but The Saturdays star Una Healy has says she suffered the "worst moment" of her life when her new baby, Aoife Belle, started choking right after she was born.

The singer, who gave birth to Aoife two weeks ago has admitted that she was "screaming" and fiance Ben Foden was extremely panicked when their little girl started choking. Speaking to Hello! magazine Una described the experience.

"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."

Ben added that Aoife was "forcefully choking" but doctors were able to help. "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."

But thankfully Aoife has recovered and Una says everything is going great. "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 loved up parents are set to get married in Tipperary this summer.
