The victim says the day she was pushed into the back of a van in Enfield “ruined her life”.
The kidnappers, all from north or north of London, have all since been sentenced and jailed.
The 36-year-old woman, who was six months pregnant, left her home with her mother and sister on the morning of May 10, 2024, to wait for a taxi to a personal training session.
But as she walked along the curb close to her Enfield home, she was suddenly grabbed and thrown into the back of a white Ford Transit van.
Her attackers bound her hands with cable ties as they quickly drove away before questioning her about her partner.
One demanded: “If you lie to me I’m gonna kick the baby out your stomach.”
In a series of terrifying phone calls, the men called her partner and threatened to cut off her fingers if he fulfill their demands for money and valuable jewellery.
The three were members of a London-based gang who had been contracted to carry out the kidnapping.
Despite being blindfolded and bound at the wrist, when the woman was left alone in the van she managed to escape the vehicle.
She flagged down a cab and travelling to the safety of her mother’s house.
The Met’s Flying Squad responded to the crime immediately.
They subsequently tracked the van using CCTV and were able to locate the vehicle the same night the hostage was recovered.
Officers were then able to identify the suspects using DNA evidence, fingerprint impressions and mobile phone data.
Audi Johnson, 35, Ahmad Ghiasi, 26 and Nicholas Mitchell, 55 were found guilty of conspiracy to kidnap on June 3 following a six-week trial at Kingston Crown Court.
In a powerful victim impact statement, the woman said that she has not been able to go home since the traumatic ordeal, and spent the rest of her pregnancy sleeping on her sister’s couch.
She said: “The incident ruined my life. I will never be the same person again. I am having to start my life all over again.
“I will forever have fear and paranoia as part of my life now. I didn’t deserve to be a victim of what happened to me. And to top it off, it was all made so much worse by being pregnant.
“This will always be something that will be part of my pregnancy, which is meant to be a happy experience, and will always be something that is a part of my daughter.”
Audi Johnson, of Northolt had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to kidnap and was sentenced to five years and four months.
Ahmad Ghiasi, of Fourth Avenue, Luton was sentenced to seven years for conspiracy to kidnap.
