Amanda Owen Explains on Podcast Why She Delivered Eighth Child at Home

She says the long trip to hospital made travel unrealistic.

Overview

  • Speaking on the White Wine Question Time podcast, the Our Yorkshire Farm star said she "could not be arsed" to call an ambulance.
  • She described daughter Clemmy’s birth on the farmhouse floor with a few cushions, a rug and the family terrier present.
  • The nearest hospital was reported to be about 69 miles away, and she recalled previous labors ending in roadside lay-bys.
  • Owen said she initially could not find scissors to cut the umbilical cord and then went upstairs to wake Clive.
  • She and ex-husband Clive Owen separated in 2022 but continue to co-parent their nine children, and she has recently discussed anxiety, depression and an eating disorder linked to media scrutiny.
