Outlander star Nell Hudson reveals childbirth left her 'broken in two' as she shares graphic hospital snap after welcoming a baby girl with Max King
Nell Hudson has spoken out about her traumatic childbirth experience after welcoming her first child with producer husband Max King. The Outlander star, 34, took to Instagram on Wednesday to reveal she had become a mother, sharing a sweet snap of her baby girl's hand and calling for 'a new word for love' to describe how she felt towards her daughter. Yet it wasn't all smooth sailing for the star, who admitted giving birth had left her 'broken in two' and shared a snap of her blood-stained hospital bed. She wrote: 'I can't believe everyone ever was given birth to by a woman and we all just go around like it's normal, 'MOTHERS - I am in awe of all of you. I am broken in two in the best possible way. It's a girl. Need a new word for love.' Nell's pregnancy had come as a surprise to the couple, with the actress previously revealing that her due date had ended up being the same day she had planned to marry Max. It wasn't all smooth sailing for the star, who admitted giving birth had left her 'broken in two' and shared a snap of her blood-stained hospital bed in an Instagram post on Wednesday Speaking to Wedding Edition last month, Nell admitted 'divine intervention' occurred after the couple had settled on July 26 as their wedding date. She recalled: 'In November, with some surprise but mostly a lot of happiness, I discovered I was pregnant. Max (my now husband) and I showed up at our first antenatal appointment full of nerves, squeezing hands as the midwife calculated how many weeks gone I was. '"So you're due date is…." she said, squinting at her computer, "Saturday the 26th of July!" We had to laugh. Well, there went the plans for that version of the wedding. 'In the end, it all turned out to be a blessing, and we decided on a much smaller, family-only affair than the original celebrations we had planned.' Nell and Max, a producer and brother of celebrity hair stylist Larry King, tied the knot last month in a small family ceremony. The Worcestershire-born actress wore a ruffled white gown with delicate tulle sleeves and a dramatic tiered A-line skirt. With one hand resting gently on her bump, the bride looked every inch the glowing mum-to-be. Her husband, Max, stood proudly beside her in a classic black double-breasted suit and silver tie. Fans and fellow co-stars flocked to the comment section to congratulate the star, with former Call the Midwife co-star Jennifer Kirby joking: 'I was like "wait… people do this ALL THE TIME?! MULTIPLE TIMES??" ❤️ congrats darling x' She shared snaps on Instagram, captioned: 'First little look at some wedding pics ❤️. 'What can I say that hasn't ever been said it really was the best day ever. More to come soon.' The couple announced their engagement in March last year while on a romantic getaway in Paris, with a photo of them smiling in front of the Eiffel Tower. Last month's post included credits for her glam team, with makeup by Devon Windsor (@devonmakeupgirl) and hair styled by her new brother-in-law, of course using luxury clip-in extensions by Tatiana Karelina. Nell, who found fame as Laoghaire MacKenzie in the hit Starz series Outlander, has also appeared in ITV's Victoria and Channel 4's The Irregulars. She is the daughter of author Cressida Connolly and stepdaughter of the late journalist A.A. Gill, who died of cancer in 2016.
