Stacey Solomon's famous friends have reportedly been urging the star to take it easy after she revealed she'd suffered a series of miscarriages before falling pregnant.
The Loose Women regular recently announced she is expecting a second child with her fiancé Joe Swash, and she also explained she had suffered some devastating miscarriages too.
Stacey has been feeling off kilter recently and her celebrity pals - including Vicky Pattison, her friends at Loose Women, and Sophie Hinchcliffe - are reportedly desperate for her to "take her foot off the gas" and concentrate on her wellbeing.
A source told Closer : "Her celebrity friends have been rallying around her and offering loads of support.
"They've begged her to slow down and told her to take all the time she needs so she doesn't feel pressure or stress."
"It's now quite clear that she's been going through a lot of secret heartache and it's only natural that she feels nervous because of it.
"However, they're nursing her through it - as is Joe, who's incredibly supportive - and have let her know that she can always offload on them and she doesn't have to keep all her stresses and fears bottled up."
The Loose Women presenter is known for her bubbly personality, but her friends are said to have told her not to hide and "lean" on them for support, if she is struggling with her mental health.
"The reason Stacey's such a huge hit is because of her positive attitude and her infectious big smile - but behind the scenes, Stacey's been going through so much.
"They've urged her to lean on them and reassured her that it's OK to feel vulnerable and have down days," the source added.
"She has openly said she suffers with anxiety, so they're hoping she can take her foot off the gas as a bit and concentrate on herself.
"She has a huge support group around her who can help, so she doesn't need to put on a brave face if she isn't feeling good inside."
Stacey had been feeling unwell recently as she prepares to add to her family but her brief spell of feeling under the weather has been a huge "wake-up call" for her to prioritise herself and her unborn baby.
The insider said: "Stacey felt a huge weight off her shoulders after her last scan, but being so unwell and worn out has really been a wake-up call for her to prioritise her mental wellbeing and her baby's health, especially as they've struggled to conceive again."
