Former Made In Chelsea star Binky Felstead has opened up on her Instagram about the anxiety she's felt throughout her pregnancy so far, with much of it stemming from a miscarriage she suffered in the past.
Last week Binky, 32, announced that she is expecting her third child, her second with husband Max Darnton.
Sharing the exciting news to Instagram she posted a sweet video with the caption: "Imagine thinking you’re nearing the 'oh so quiet' phase again…. Taurus baby coming in hot."
Binky already shares 17-month-old son Wolfie with Max, and daughter India, five, with her ex-boyfriend Joshua Patterson.
Opening up further about her pregnancy the TV star took part in an Instagram Q&A in which fans could send her pregnancy related questions.
One question asked: "What did you do to ease anxiety waiting for the 12 week scan after a miscarriage?"
Replying to this the soon to be mum-of-three said: "So for me, and it was the same with Wolfie, I think I am always going to have this anxiety until I get this baby in my arms. Going to scans is always terrifying now.
"I even had an early week scan at seven weeks and the lady doing the scan could see a little bit of blood where the baby was and like with my miscarriage there was no blood in my knickers, then there was blood for about a week and I kept being told it was fine until we were told there was no heartbeat.
"So this time I really freaked out and went on my Bloss app and clicked into the pregnancy section of the clinic we typed in what had happened and within a few minutes one of our experts replied saying this is totally normal and fine!"
In 2020 Binky heartbreakingly announced that she had suffered a miscarriage, sharing the devastating news with fans on Instagram.
Posting a photo of a sunset over a field, she wrote: "I've thought long and hard about doing this post, but I felt that if I can pass on any warmth, comfort or help to anybody in the same position – well that would be great. It's only fair that I share some of my 'downs' as well as my 'up' moments.
"Today would have been my 18 week mark, but sadly we had an early miscarriage just before 12 weeks. Not only was this heartbreaking for us, but it also came as such a shock to me.
"I hadn't realised until then how blessed I was with having such a relatively straight forward pregnancy with India – I'll admit I was naive enough to assume the next one would be as straightforward, but I had two early scans as I was concerned I was bleeding. They found a 'very strong' heartbeat. However, on the third scan I was told 'I'm afraid there's no heartbeat'.
"I was told by my doctor that 1 in 4 pregnancies miscarry (not that statistics make it any easier!) With 82% of my following being women – that means roughly 237,800 women 'following' me could (or have) experienced the same, which is just so sad."
