Sonia gave birth to a baby girl in emotional scenes during EastEnders live 40th anniversary episode on Thursday
Another added: ‘Size of that baby.’
A third wrote: ‘Sonia’s baby aged 2 months in 3 minutes.’
While fourth echoed: ‘Bet that hurt to push out – huge!’
Sonia gave birth to a baby girl in emotional scenes during EastEnders live 40th anniversary episode on Thursday.
After becoming trapped in the Queen Vic with sister Bianca and cousin Lauren after the explosion, Sonia was left with no choice but to give birth on the floor of the pub.
When the baby – who was fathered by killer Reiss Calwell – arrived, Bianca gasped in horror and said: ‘She’s not breathing!’
As the newborn girl began to turn blue, Sonia appeared to go into a state of shock as her lip quivered and she lay back on the ground.
Bianca and Lauren both begged her for help in saving her daughter’s life and she eventually came to her senses and got the little girl to start crying.
The trio were soon rescued by the firefighters who came to put out the blaze and they rejoined their friends and neighbours outside.

Sonia, while sat in the back of an ambulance, cradled her newborn daughter and revealed she named her Julia.
Fans quickly took to X to speculate that the baby was named after Julia Smith, one of the creators and first producers of EastEnders.
As the credits rolled following the death of Martin Fowler, an alternate version of the credits, Julia’s theme, played.
News of Martin’s death will devastate Sonia as the pair had daughter Chloe together many years ago.
Fans wrote: ‘Sonia names her newborn Julia – probably a Julia Smith reference. Nice touch’… ‘Martin and Sonia’s baby, as one born, another one is gone.’
‘Oh God how is Sonia gonna feel when she finds out Martin is dead!’
‘For a second I thought Sonia was gonna die during childbirth and Martin would stay alive, BAWLING.’
‘Julia’s theme playing as Sonia has her happy ending while Martin dies.’
