Oti has been incredibly open about her traumatic birth after explaining how her Her daughter’s life was saved by the NHS after a terrible sepsis scare.
She told The sun on sunday: ‘It was helpful that someone asked me, ‘How are you feeling? How are you dealing with these new emotions?’
‘In my case, sepsis was not discovered until after delivery. It is not something that has been overlooked, so I want to make that clear. I misinterpreted it a while ago.
“My daughter had an infection when she came out and the doctors were treating her. I didn’t have time to panic, we were just focused on her recovery.”
