Billie Faiers has revealed she is scared about giving birth for the third time as her baby is “really low”.
The Mummy Diaries star announced she was pregnant again by husband Greg Shepherd in June.
Although the 32-year-old is “happy and excited” to welcome the new addition to her family, she admits she is more nervous this time around.
She said her age could be a factor, as she had daughter Nellie, eight, and five-year-old son Arthur in her twenties.
But Billie revealed she is also experiencing worse symptoms than she had with her other two pregnancies, including morning sickness which has left her bed bound.

Now in her second trimester, five months pregnant Billie said she is finally starting to feel better – but is still ready for bed at 7.30pm.
In an interview with New magazine, the soon-to-be mum of three spoke about her fears of giving birth again in a few months’ time.
She said: “I’m carrying really low and I feel like there’s a lot of pressure down there already. Although I’m not really big yet, I feel like if I’m on my feet for a certain amount of time, I need to sit down.”
Billie said she researched it and it seems it’s to do with the baby lying on the veins that get blood to your legs, so it’s this that is causing her discomfort.
Explaining how it feels different to her other pregnancies, Billie shared: “When I had Nelly I was in my early twenties, now I’m in my early thirties, so that could make a difference.
“Life is really busy for me at the moment. I’ve got the pregnancy, Nelly and Arthur, filming, and renovating the house. It’s all going really quickly.”
Billie admitted that at the beginning of pregnancy number three she definitely felt “more unwell”.
Although she also got morning sickness with Nelly and Arthur, this time it was so bad she had to “take a few days in bed ill”.
She has since got her appetite back and is starting to feel good, but says she is definitely “more nervous” with her third pregnancy.
“You just want everything to be OK, but being pregnant is a scary time – every scan makes me nervous,” Billie said.
“I think because I haven’t been pregnant in a really long time, that also makes a difference. I’m overthinking it all, but hopefully it will be fine.”
Billie hasn’t said if the baby is a boy or girl yet, or talked baby names - but daughter Nelly has a name in mind and it’s inspired by Love Island.
If the baby is a boy, she wants to call it Davide after Italian Stallion Davide Sanclimenti, who won this year’s show with Essex girl Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
But Billie is having none of it, saying “it’s a lovely name, but it’s not for me”.
