"It’s been pretty awful.They’ve been trying to get me to agree to have a natural birth even after I had such a traumatic experience," she continued. "I’ve had to go to another consultant and I’m waiting for another appointment to get the go-ahead." Marnie went on to open up about how she is nervous for her second birth after admitting she felt her body "failed" her with welcoming Rox. "I’m definitely nervous, but I think that’s only natural after what I went through," she shared with OK!. "I’m trying to take it each day as it comes and not worry about it too much. "Obviously, I don’t want to put too much stress on the baby and my body, but it’s always going to be nerve-wracking as it’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced before." Marnie - who is due to welcome her second child in May - then confessed she and Casey were "protective" and "very secluded" after becoming parents for the first time.
