Singer Joss Stone 'definitely wants more children' after difficult birth of second child

Joss Stone said she 'definitely plans' to have more children after the difficult birth of her second child.

The 35-year-old had an emergency caesarean when she gave birth to her son Shackleton, who she shares with partner Cody DaLuz.

Her uterus had split so she won't be able to 'give birth naturally'. "I definitely want to have more children," the Right To Be Wrong singer explained.

"The doctor has said I can have another one but I definitely can’t give birth naturally because my uterus split. I’ve always wanted to adopt and Cody was adopted so he wants to adopt, too."

Speaking to Hello! Magazine, she said: "We’ll see but I’d like as many kids as I can.”

She also revealed that she and her family are moving back to the UK from Nashville.

The singer recently opened up about the scary experience she had when giving birth to her second child.

Along with Shackleton, she also shares daughter Violet with Cody.

Joss said her labour was far from smooth sailing, revealing she was already in "massive amounts of pain" before she was told to have a c-section.

She was surprised by the news after saying she had prepared her whole life for a natural birth.

However, in order to safely deliver their child, doctors made the decision to rush her to theatre.

Joss revealed to PEOPLE Magazine : "[Shackleton's] heartbeat was at normal rate. And then all of a sudden, it just slowed down, massively slowed down. I thought, 'Oh, that's my baby. That's not good'."

Talking about the nurse's actions in that stressful moment, she added: "She comes up to me and she goes, 'The room is going to fill up with a lot of people - Don't worry about it, just stay calm,' then Cody looks at me and he said the same thing.'

And in a scary turn of events, Joss revealed how the child's heart rate dropped again. "He was coming down the birth canal, and when my uterus split," she said. "His head went into my abdomen and he went back up... They had to bring him back to breathing again."

Doctors decided the best course of action was to put the singer to sleep and thankfully once she woke up, her baby son had been successfully brought into the world.
