Lacey Turner got back into bed after waters broke as she felt 'too tired' to give birth

EastEnders star and mum of two Lacey Turner opened up about the birth of son Trilby on today's Loose Women - revealing her laid back approach the second time around.

Lacey and husband Matt Kay shared their joy earlier this month after welcoming baby boy Trilby in February.

The little lad is a baby brother to daughter Dusty, who turns two later this year.

And today Lacey told that she'd got back into bed after her waters broke because she was "too tired."

Chatting to the Loose Women panel today, the Stacey Slater actress recalled: "I was sitting here minding my own business, I'd gone up to bed – I hadn't packed a hospital bag or anything.

"I'd got the case down ready to pack it that week but, you know, with the second one you're just so laid back.

"I'd washed a few babygrows but that was it. I went to go to bed and it was like whoosh! I thought that only happened in films so I was like, surely not."

Lacey continued: "And I thought, 'no, I can't, I'm so tired,' so I got into bed and pretended it wasn't happening.

"Then I thought, 'I can't do this, I'd better phone them up,' and they said 'come up now,' so I threw some Mini Eggs and a nighty in the case and off I went."

She told OK! magazine of the birth: "He came at 36 weeks! It was around 11pm and I was just about to go to bed and my waters broke like something out of a film.

"I had no idea that would happen, as my waters didn't break with Dusty. I didn’t know you could have that much water, I thought it was for TV purposes only!"

She shared the first snap of the newborn looking cosy under a blanket hand-knitted by her on-screen mum Gillian Wright.

The proud mum just shared a heart emoji as a caption, and was soon flooded with comments.

Fellow new mum Dani Dyer wrote: "Congratulations he is beautiful! and LOVE the name!"

EastEnders co-star Tamzin Outhwaite added: "congratulations...beautiful."
