    Sofia Richie was "absolutely terrified" when she started having contractions six weeks before giving birth

    The 26-year-old model has been married to Elliot Grange since 2023 and the pair welcomed daughter Eloise in May but she recalled an incident at 32 weeks where she woke up with intense pain and started suffering from Braxton Hicks, sometimes known as false labour pains


    Speaking on the 'She MD' podcast, she said: "I'm actually really excited to be here with you guys today just because now that I have my child, I'm like, I feel like people really don't talk about all the things that go wrong and all the things after you give birth that are so hard.

    "At 32 weeks I woke up and I was like, 'Hey, I woke up and I'm really tired today. My back really hurts. I feel a little crampy.' And I really thought it was going to be another one of those, 'Yeah, babe, that's pregnancy. You're going to be fine, but you can come in if you want me to check you' type situations.

    "She was like, 'You know what? Actually, I think you should go see the fetal specialist to monitor, to make sure that everything's okay, and then you'll go home. It's not a big deal.

    "Thank God she said that. ., "because they hooked me up to the monitor and they were like, 'You're in active labour.' I was really terrified."

    In the end, Sofia - who is the daughter of 'Hello' singer Lionel Richie and his ex-wife Diane Alexander - was in hospital for six days before she "begged" to be sent home but was put on bed rests so she could be monitored.

    She said: "I was begging. I was like, 'Please, please let me go home.' And she was like, 'You can go home, but you're on bed rest. We have to monitor you.

    So that's what I did. It was kind of a waiting game from there."

    Sofia was bedbound and experienced contractions and then had an induced at 38 weeks.

    She said: "I had a fantastic delivery!"
