Charlotte Crosby has updated fans on her C-section recovery and shared details about the birth of her second child on Thursday.
The former Geordie Shore star, 34, welcomed her daughter, Pixi Cecilia Ankers, with fiancé Jake Ankers last Friday.
And she has now shared on her blog that she is healing well following the birth of her baby girl.
Having previously undergone a C-section with her first daughter, Alba, Charlotte felt less anxious this time.
However, she admitted to experiencing a wave of fear just before the procedure due to intrusive thoughts.
Despite her nerves, Charlotte said her main focus was ensuring her baby arrived safely as she went for her C-section.

It comes after Charlotte revealed she would be having planned C-section as she finds it ‘too hard to push a baby out’ as she opened up about her second pregnancy last month.
Charlotte admitted she does not want to feel ‘out of control’ during child birth and has ‘absolutely no desire to push’ as she explained why she has booked for a C-section.
Speaking to new! magazine, she said: ‘I would always only have a C-section I have absolutely no desire to push a baby out of my vagina as it is too hard.
‘I had a C-section with Alba and it was such a good experience I like to be in control especially after my ectopic pregnancy [in 2016].
‘Waking up from that operation and being told I almost died and lost two reproductive organs was awful. I never want to feel out of control like that again.’
The birth has also been filmed for Charlotte’s reality show, Geordie Shore: Charlotte’s Having Another Baby.
The TV personality previously admitted she couldn’t wait for her pregnancy to be over as she had a hard time during her final trimester.
She added: ‘I’m just surviving at this point. I’m so ready to have this baby now, I can’t wait I’ve been throwing up all morning.’

Charlotte had an ectopic pregnancy back in 2016 which left her fearing she would never be able to have kids.
An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb, usually in the fallopian tube, meaning a baby is unable to develop and leaving the mother’s health in danger.
She said: ‘I hadn’t ever felt pain like this and couldn’t take anymore. I told Kate [a friend] to cancel the doctor, I need to go to the hospital, this is something worse than period pain.’
She said she found out she was pregnant after giving a urine sample and said of the moment: ‘I was in shock, and when Kate said ‘Congratulations!’ I said no no no, this is bad.’
Charlotte told how her heart sank as she knew it was something serious and recalls crying and panicking whether she could ever have a baby in the future.
‘I found out my fallopian tube had completely ruptured, and the doctor had to remove my left fallopian tube and an ovary,’ she said.
During her second pregnancy, Charlotte and fiancé Jake were also subjected to an armed burglary at their £1 million Sunderland mansion back in November last year.
And her upcoming four-part Paramount+ series will include the aftermath of the terrifying incident.
The birth has also been filmed for Charlotte’s reality show, Geordie Shore : Charlotte’s Having Another Baby
Charlotte exclusively told MailOnline: ‘There’s lots of things that have happened over the past few months that are quite heavily featured, which I’ve never spoken about at all, because obvio
usly it’s police matters.
‘But the burglary, everything like that, the show was there. Do you know what I mean?
‘But I’ve never spoke about that with anyone. I’ve not answered any interview questions. It’s a police matter like as it stands.
‘But basically, the show was with us 24/7, whilst all this was going on. So there’s lots – there’s so much in every single episode and there’s only four episodes. So like, you’re kind of not going to want it to end.’
After such a scary ordeal, when asked about if she felt nervous about opening her home up for the world to see on the TV, she admitted that it did make her ‘rethink’ her decision.
Charlotte admitted: ‘I’ve been in that house for a decade, and it’s been on TV all the way through them 10 years.
‘I think, after it happened, it definitely made us rethink like how much of the house I should really be showing. Now I’ve got children.
‘And so it definitely made us rethink a lot of things, having a lot of conversations and just like, thinking about a lot.
Charlotte’s fiancé Jake shared the terrifying news on his Instagram Story
‘Yeah, I definitely think, not necessarily nervous… But definitely rethinking like, maybe the future.’
Charlotte was heavily pregnant with her unborn daughter when a gang of balaclava-masked raiders entered her home.
Days later Charlotte gave fans an update on her social media, confessing that it left her ‘living in fear’.
She told her fans on Instagram: ‘I now have the BEST security in the northeast with man guards, security dogs and 24/7 surveillance.’
The star added: ‘I’ve been living in fear since last week. Not feeling safe in your own home with small children is really something else.
‘I’ve been trying my hardest to put what happened out of my head! And I’m sorry for being on here!
‘It’s just took some time dealing with everything that’s gone on and then I was in hospital!’
