Jennifer Lopez has opened up for the first time about when she discovered a lump on her baby's head and she panicked.

The 'On The Floor' star thought that someone had dropped her daughter Emme and the fear sent her and then-husband Marc Anthony into a frantic worry that resulted in the couple rushing their daughter to the hospital.

JLo thought that was something was wrong with her daughter shortly after she was born. Emme, who has a twin brother Max, was just a baby when they discovered something was wrong.

In an interview with CNN, JLo said: "I just remember that feeling of something is wrong with that baby and I'm gonna die.

"I remember looking at Marc and going, 'We should call the doctor.' I started panicking a little bit and he was panicking too because we were thinking, 'Did somebody drop her when we weren't looking?'"

He also added: "I just remember looking at him and saying, 'If this baby ... if Emme's not going to be OK, I'm not going to be OK. He's like, 'I'm not going to be OK - none of us are going to be OK.'"

Emme had a few routine tests, but the ordeal made Jen feel very fortunate to have the resources and access to good health care.

She said: "I was thinking, 'What if I didn't have that? What if I didn't have access to great health care?' What if I was a mom just sitting there and there was something wrong with my baby and there was nothing I could do about it?"

Shortly after the scare, the couple set up the Maribel Foundation in memory of Marc's sister Maribel, who died of brain cancer at the age of eight.

The organisation is dedicated to improve the health of children and women.
