Gemma Atkinson has shared her decision to hire a private midwife for support during her pregnancy.
Former Hollyoaks actress Gemma, 38, is expecting her second child with her fiancé Gorka Marquez. The couple are already proud parents to three-year-old Mia.
Following the birth of her daughter, Gemma revealed she had a difficult childbirth and almost died as she started haemorrhaging in labour and her daughter's heart rate began to drop.
