Casey Batchelor is expecting her third baby with boyfriend Dane Goodson.
And the fitness guru, 36, has revealed that she is planning to undergo a C-section when her new arrival is due after she experienced "trauma" during her first labour in 2018.
Speaking on her pregnancy plans, Casey bravely thought back to the tough time in which her spine was punctured by her epidural, which led to her suffering from "severe pain".
The horrific event left her struggling to bond with firstborn child Florence as she couldn't hold her - which means she is firmly set on having a C-section.
Thinking back to the birth, she told OK! magazine : "It was classed as trauma. It was awful. They had to give me a rapid birth and break my waters because her heart rate was going up and down."
Former glamour model Casey explained her body was in "shock" and she was "having fits and being sick" due to having "no breaks between contractions."
The star added that due to her being unable to stay still that "they punctured my spine, so I had an epidural drip and I had brain fluid leakage".
Continuing on how the pain continued after she gave birth, she added: "I couldn’t stand because I had constant, severe headaches. They said the hole I had was so severe the pain was the equivalent of a brain tumour. I couldn’t even hold her and I had to just lie down flat."
It will not be the Celebrity Big Brother personalities first C-section as she underwent the surgery when she gave birth to her second daughter, Sadie, in 2020.
As the second experience was smoother after Casey was "in so much pain from the first birth" it made her decision to have a C-section in the spring an easy one.
Brunette bombshell Casey announced that she is expecting her third baby in three years, earlier this week.
She previously admitted that she and Dane were hoping to complete their family with a son.
However, she's adamant baby number three will be her last.
She told new! magazine: "I think this will be the last time [pregnancy] though...
"I'm 36 now and by the time I've had the next one it'll be like I've spent my whole 30s pregnant."
