And she took to her Instagram Stories on Friday to let her followers know how she was taking to motherhood.

Sharing a picture of Bella fast asleep and referring to a cuddly toy, Nicole captioned the picture: ‘Little lady’s having some relaxing time. She loves listening to that sheep.

‘Our morning routing laid in bed with daddy on his chest (her fave) while I did some bottle sterilising & had a tidy up.

‘I had a bath & got dressed today feeling half human again. Still need to get some pink blankets.’

Having asked some of her followers to ask her some questions about life with her newborn, one person queried: ‘How was your birth overall? Traumatic? Magical?’

Speaking out: Nicole also gave her followers an insight into her new life as a mother in an extensive Q&A session about the birth and the days after

Nicole replied: ‘I was really disappointed and let down with the hospital. They induced me and then took it out as I was moaning with pains, they said it would help slow the contractions down! The pains got worse and I was literally begging them to help me with some pain relief, I was in fact crying at one point! They said I was one centimetre dilated and in false labour so I wasn’t allowed anything even though I know my body and I knew it wasn’t right I continued to beg them to help me.

‘The midwife as far as tell me I’m someone who would need an epidural when I’m in “labour” as if I was one centimetre dilated and couldn’t handle it.

‘I was hit with something to make me drowsy and sleepy, probably trying to shut me up as I was by this point in agonising pain! Two DRs even came down and said you’re one centimetre dilated without even checking me, just taking the word of the midwife who I had been begging to help me! They said, “I’ll come back in six hours,” this was at 12pm. Two hours later I had her, imagine!

‘The midwife said she was moving me to a quiet room because I obviously was moaning and screaming. When I got up she realised by the state of the bed my waters broke and I suppose that’s when she realised I was right all along and hit the panic button!

‘An amazing Dr came in as well as around 10 different medical staff! She said I was fully dilated & I started to push as my baby’s heart was dropping on the monitor, it went to 50 at one point, thank God she was okay. Always listen to your body, you know best!

‘If it wasn’t for that Dr I don’t even know what would be she literally got me through it was super fast and extremely hard as I was so drowsy and in pain. The relief when she came to me and finally someone who acted straight away as I was fully dilated she was flipping my saviour unlike the other DRs who dismissed me tow hours before.

‘But shes here and safe main thing. Just grateful and blessed for her! Next baby I know I won’t allow that to happen.’

Another person asked: ‘How come you were induced? I’m due to be induced in three weeks.’

TOWIE star Nicole replied: ‘I was 10 days overdue which is find to be honest. If I could of done anything different I would not of done it, you can go 14 days! I was getting anxious with baby moving & quite sick towards the end that’s why!

‘They said to do that & break my waters but my body did that itself. That probably sped it up I believe even though it was removed.’

Noting how Nicole had appeared to have taken to motherhood on social media, another person asked: ‘You seem a natural already. Have you had baby blues?’

She responded: ‘Aww thank you, I mean once I’m 100% better I will feel better for her.

‘Baby blues not yet. I’m hoping to skip that!’

One other person asked Nicole if she had any help with Bella at home, to which she replied: ‘My partner is here with me and to be honest he is actually amazing and the best dad to Bella.

‘He adores her, the way he looks after her is just amazing, family have come round too to see the bubba and they always make food and help with anything so I’m very grateful to all of them.’

New arrival: Nicole’s due date was October 22, but her little girl finally made a speedy arrival into the world over two weeks late, on November 7

On the hardest part of her pregnancy, Nicole wrote: ‘I was really sick the first 3/4 months, always puking up and no energy. It subsided after that trimester and got better.

‘I think the end was the hardest if I’m honest. Just sleep, eat little and often, don’t be hard on yourself. Growing a baby isn’t easy.’

One other person asked: ‘How long was your labour?,’ to which Nicole replied: ‘The pains I would say started at 9pm here and there, I hit the peak at 12pm when I was full blown at it.

‘This is when I was told I was one centimetre dilated and the two DRs came down and said we will check you in six hours despite me begging them for help. I had her two hours later at 2am.

‘I think three hours I was moaning and crying for help before I was pushing.’
