Anika Moa has opened up about the "scary" birth of her second daughter, Marigold Tui Grace Utting-Moa, who was born via emergency caesarean.
Speaking to Woman's Day, Moa said she was told she would have to be induced three weeks early, and realised her "hopes of a natural birth were not going to plan".
"It was pretty scary, but I just had to dig deep and tell myself I'd be having this baby soon."
Moa said she leant on her wife Natasha Utting for support when she was told she needed the caesarean.
"You know when you're on a plane and there's turbulence, and you look straight at the air hostess to see if she's showing fear? But Natasha was great. She didn't look frightened at all," she told the magazine.
