A few months ago, in October, Daniela Martins created a surprise by announcing that she was expecting her third child! With her husband Julien, the former candidate of Secret Story (season 3 in 2009) is about to welcome a second little boy, two years after little Valentin (born in 2019) and five years after the arrival of his eldest Eléa (born in 2016). As the term approaches, Daniela Martins naturally begins to be agitated and to prepare everything so that her baby arrives in the best conditions. But some bad news came to spoil his good mood.
In story Instagram, on December 26, Daniela Martins confided to apprehend her childbirth, which should take place in the absence of her husband due to the health crisis. “I just received a message from the maternity ward telling me that accompanying persons were not allowed. I’m not hiding from you that it’s starting to freak me out. It would piss me off to give birth alone … But I risk giving birth in full peak apparently. This is one of the reasons I didn’t want to be pregnant during Covid. But I didn’t expect it to last that long …“, she lamented a few weeks (or even days) of giving birth.
A traumatic first childbirth
The pretty brunette can, however, still hope that this regulation is not imposed on her and that her half Julien can be present thanks to certain testimonies from women who have come to reassure her. However, an internet user offered her an alternative so that she could be sure of being well surrounded: that of giving birth at home. But Daniela Martins’ response is clear: “Never. “
And for good reason, she knows all too well the importance of having medical support during childbirth, she who almost lost her first child. “He would have died if I hadn’t been to the hospital, if he hadn’t been tubed immediately, if it hadn’t been for the hyper-responsive medical team. When we experience such a thing, we cannot give birth at home. Well, not me. I’m still too traumatized to take any risk“, she explained.
It is true that Daniela Martins experienced the horror when welcoming her daughter Eléa. In 2020, she said: “Longest 6 hours of my life. I had contractions every 1min30 with a cervix that did not open and a baby who was in pain and whose heart was racing. She (the midwife, editor’s note) categorically refused to give me an epidural. Leaving me agonizing in my tears, my stool (I got on it so my body was twisting)“. Eléa was born with respiratory distress, bordering on the worst.”Eléa was torn from my arms, connected to machines so that she could breathe, that she would stay alive“, she remembered. A terrible first experience which had even made her hesitate at the time to have a second child. But, fortunately for her son Valentin, everything had gone very well.
