Sophie Habboo broke down in tears as husband Jamie Laing revealed her traumatic birth complications led to an emergency C-section in the brand-new trailer for Raising Chelsea.
The Made In Chelsea couple filmed the birth of their two-month-old son, Ziggy, for their Disney+ series, after being told the baby's arm was through the cervix and Sophie, 31, urgently needed to change her birthing plan.
Gripping each other's hands, Jamie, 37, reassured a terrified Sophie as she gave birth for the first time, and the pair rejoiced as they heard Ziggy's first cry.
Speaking to camera, former Strictly star Jamie said: 'Bad news is that the baby, his arm is through the cervix. She needs to have an emergency C-section.'
The couple, who met on E4's Made in Chelsea in 2017, married six years later in Spain and welcomed Ziggy in December.
Their new three-part fly-on-the-wall series for Disney+, available to stream from 2nd April, follows them over a year and a half as they prepare for their first baby.

Sophie has opened up about the pressures women feel to 'snap back' after giving birth.
The star said she personally felt judged by other mothers and that, in her experience, she couldn't win either way.
She explained: 'I didn't necessarily feel that pressure from the public. Weirdly, there's more pressure on mums that you get judged either way.
'If you haven't snapped back, people are going to say something. If you have snapped back, people are going to say something.
'I am actually finding that, and I didn't expect that. There are some people commenting on the snapping back saying it's too soon and it's not realistic.
'I just don't think you can please anyone… Whether you've snapped back or not, it just shouldn't be a thing.'
Since welcoming Ziggy, Sophie says she has developed more gratitude for herself and her appearance, which she has found freeing as a new mother.
She added: 'I feel stronger and I have much more respect for myself. I speak more kindly to myself. Ziggy's my priority and I don't put as much pressure on what I look like because my brain is thinking about him and it's actually quite freeing and liberating.'
