22 Kids and Counting fans say the same thing over heartwarming baby news
22 Kids and Counting viewers will see The Radfords welcome a new arrival into the family on Sunday's instalment of the Channel 5 show. It appears there's a fresh addition to the Radford clan making their Channel 5 debut this weekend. On Sunday evening, fans of the hit programme 22 Kids and Counting will witness Chloe Radford, who marked a significant milestone this weekend, delivering her second child. Yet, prior to the newest addition to the brood, a sneak peek for the episode on Channel 5's X account reveals that Chloe endured a frightening experience beforehand. Rushed to triage, Chloe is spotted with her father Noel in the vehicle, describing how it doesn't feel like the baby is moving despite her attempts to encourage some movement. Following an emergency scan, audiences discover that the infant was perfectly fine after medics detected his heartbeat on the monitor, reports Manchester Evening News. Discussing the harrowing experience, her partner Jake admitted he was in a state of panic as she responded: "Just an awful feeling, awful." Subsequently in the teaser, it depicted her at home with her daughter Mila after heeding her mum Sue's advice about taking things easier. The footage then switches to Sue at home with her family as she receives a text message confirming Chloe has delivered. Radiating joy, she announces to everyone: "Oh, got a text, he's here! Oh my gosh. He said, 'She did great, bless her, he was really fast. So he's not said any weight or anything." Noel remarked: "He's here, safe and well, all good!" As the family took turns guessing the weight of their latest arrival, the scene shifted to Chloe and Jamie bringing their newborn son Bodhi back from hospital. She revealed: "Feel good, yeah, feel really good. I'm just glad it's over with and he's here and he's safe. We're going to go home and get settled into a family life of four. I can't actually believe it." With Channel 5 sharing the preview on their social media accounts, it wasn't long before people commented on the clip. One person said: "Bless, congratulations." Another commented: "Gorgeous family. So much love. Congratulations xxx." While another wrote: "Such a beautiful family."

What is Wilms tumour? WILMS tumours are a type of kidney cancer that mainly affect children. They are also called nephroblastomas as they develop from cells called nephroblasts. Kidney cancer in children is rare but Wilms tumour is the most common type. About 85 children between the ages of 0 and 14 years are diagnosed with Wilms tumour each year in the UK - mostly children under 5. Rarely, Wilms tumours can develop in older children and very rarely, in adults. Wilms tumours usually only affect one kidney but in fewer than 10 out of 100 children, they can affect both kidneys. The most common symptom is a painless swelling of the abdomen. Parents might notice a lump in the tummy when bathing the baby, or if their child suddenly jumps a nappy size. A healthcare worker might notice a swollen tummy when the child is having a routine appointment. Other less common symptoms include: blood in their wee (urine) pain caused by bleeding inside the tumour loss of appetite raised blood pressure high temperature (fever) weight loss constipation generally feeling unwell being irritable due to their tummy feeling uncomfortable shortness of breath and cough (usually if the cancer has spread to the lungs) Two of the Radford children, Advertisement To which Ellie, 20, agreed: 'Yeah, I think that's why it's so hard to write.' 12 Ellie and Aimee prepared a speech for Sophie's funeral Credit: Channel 5 12 Aimee found saying goodbye "really hard" Credit: Channel 5 Aimee then sobbed: 'Knowing that you're saying a goodbye is really hard.'
