I had 5 seizures but my friend got me breathing again.. it was a miracle. Now I’ve come out the other side and my baby completes me

– that the day he smiled at me was more amazing and emotional even than the day he was born, because you suddenly think, ‘Oh my God – you love me back!’

“Suddenly, all those sleepless nights and all that worry goes out the window.

“You look in those little eyes and the love you feel... It’s like a connection I’ve never felt and thank God I’ve done it. I mean, I’ve left it later in life but I think it’s probably the right thing and I wasn’t ready before – before I met Jamie.

“And now I’ve got this little family and I just feel, like a contentment, a calm. Maybe I was looking for something in the wrong places and now I feel I’ve found it in this little boy when I look in his eyes, it’s just incredible.

Sheridan is shown during her pregnancy talking about anxiety and depression with other mums-to-be who may be suffering.

She says in the new interview: “I was very grateful that parents agreed to talk to me because you never want to feel like you’re intruding in their lives.

“I spoke to mums who were getting help from Ripplez, a community project run by mums who volunteer to help other mums who are vulnerable or struggling.

“The help Ripplez gives is amazing, and the mums are so brave to reach out to them.

“The NHS are incredible but they are so stretched. After the baby is born is when people often seem to struggle but are scared to reach
