"I think in my head I had it that I would maybe be able to get two hours or three hours sleep and I'd be able to survive.
"But actually, what I experienced was from the minute I gave birth on the Monday night until about day five I actually didn't sleep for a single hour.
"I didn't have a single hour of sleep for the first week, I absolutely just completely ran off of adrenaline.
"I actually made myself quite unwell. By day five, it was 100% the hardest day of my entire life.

"It was the hardest day of my life, I was genuinely scared for myself, for my health, as I had zero sleep for five nights."
"I've only felt that in the last couple of days that I've got a grip of myself, and remember to take care of myself," she said.
It comes after she revealed she collapsed on the floor “like a sack of potatoes” just hours after giving birth.
Molly opted to have an epidural at the first available opportunity, which stops you from feeling anything from your waist downwards.
She explained: “I forgot that I had an epidural and I tried to get out of bed ten minutes or so after I had given birth.
“Tommy was holding Bambi in a chair by the bed and I tried to get out of bed and stand up and walk over to them.
"When I pivoted myself out of bed and stood up, I literally just dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes.
“I just collapsed in a heap, my legs just went like jelly. The nurse was panicking, but I was laughing when it happened.
"I was like ‘I’m fine, I’m not faint, I am just an idiot, I can’t feel my legs, why did I try to stand up?’”
Speaking in the candid and very emotional video, Molly discussed her decision to have an epidural, saying: “I always knew it was something I wanted to have.
"I personally knew my pain threshold probably wasn't going to be high enough to get me through a natural delivery."
The star was close to having a C-section, but suddenly jumped from 3 cm dilated to 7 and gave birth vaginally.
She told her fans: "The pushing, I'll be completely honest, I loved it. And I loved it because of my epidural.
"I enjoyed the pushing because I'd had an epidural, I don't think I'd have enjoyed it without one. I don't think I'd have enjoyed the whole labour without it.
"It made me completely enjoy my labour. I could still feel everything I had all the sensations, but I was not in any pain. So every time I had a contraction I'd push push push really really hard.
"I could feel Bambi's head coming out of my vagina – I know I keep saying it but I have to give it credit because it doesn't sound normal otherwise.
