Pregnant Amy Childs in health scare as she calls hospital at 3am with scary stomach pain

Pregnant TOWIE star Amy Childs revealed she recently phoned the hospital at 3am after a health scare.

The mum-of-two, 32, is expecting twins with her partner Billy Delbosq, 39, in April, but worried the tots might be arriving early after suffering from stomach cramps.

Amy is already mum to Polly, five, and Ritchie, four and said she's used to cramping, but the experience she had recently "felt different".

Opening up about the scary time, she said: "A couple of nights ago I couldn’t sleep at all. I got up around 1am and my tummy was really cramping. I’ve had it before, it’s not like it’s my first baby, but I said to Bill that something felt different.

"I rang the hospital around 3:30am and said, ‘Look, I feel like I’ve really got a belly ache and bad belly pain’. I told them that the babies were moving and really active, which was good, because what I didn’t want to go to the hospital for them to check me, see that they were moving and tell me it's just Braxton Hicks."

Amy was told there are double the contractions when you're expecting twins - but she thought her son and daughter might be arriving early.

"When I was getting the twinges I thought, ‘Oh my god, are they coming now?" she told OK! magazine.

The telly star will be 35 weeks pregnant on Monday (March 20).

Amy took to social media this week sharing an update of her growing baby bump with her fans.

The reality star posed for a short video, as she filmed herself in a full-length mirror, dressed in a black t-shirt with grey leggings.

Cradling her bump, she captioned the clip: “My bump is getting really hard and I can see my belly is dropping... (monkey emoji heart emoji).”

Looking as if she is about to give birth at any moment, the TOWIE star revealed she is actually due on or around April 26.

Amy revealed her pregnancy with boyfriend, Billy - who she's been with since 2021 - in October, sharing a snap of her scan in January.

The couple recently enjoyed a stay at the lavish £600-a-night Cave Hotel near Canterbury for their baby moon before they become proud parents of twins.
