"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!"

She continued: "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!"

When did Paloma Faith and Leyman Lahcine announce her pregnancy?

'I am going to be releasing new music at this time and wanted to feel free in my body as it changes before all our eyes!

"I love my job and can't wait for you all to heat my 5th album and I will be out and about playing as much as this crazy time will allow (also a tour next year).

She added: "This child is so wanted, it's my 6th round of IVF and was a struggle to get here."

Do Paloma and Leyman have any other children?

Paloma is already mother to a four-year-old daughter with partner Leyman Lahcine.

She gave birth in December 2016.

Paloma initially revealed that she was intending to raise her child as gender neutral.

However, she has since referred to her child with female pronouns - and said on Instagram she now has "two gals"..

Paloma has opened up about having a miscarriage before getting pregnant for a second time.

She said: 'Last year I was trying again and it was strange because once my daughter turned 18 months I suddenly was like: 'I want another one. This is the best.'

"Then I had a miscarriage and it's sort of an ongoing thing. It's tense. It's not very sexy.

"I have a scar that isn't healing properly from my caesarian so it's creating a bit of a toxic atmosphere which is also quite hard."
