Pregnant Binky Felstead will feel constant anxiety until she can hold her baby – after miscarriage

She is expecting her third child and announced the happy news last week.

But pregnant Binky Felstead has revealed she will feel a constant fear until she can hold her baby in her arms after having a previous miscarriage — when she shared her first bump.

The former Made In Chelsea star, 32, took to her Instagram story on Thursday to do a Q&A, where she responded to a fan who asked: ‘What have you done to ease anxiety while waiting for the 12-week scan after a miscarriage?’

She replied, ‘So for me, and it was the same with Wolfie, I think I’ll always have this fear until I get this baby in my arms. Going to scans is always terrifying now.

“I even had an early week ultrasound at seven weeks and the lady who did the scan could see a little bit of blood where the baby was and as 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 to my Bloss app and clicked on the pregnancy section of the clinic, we typed in what had happened and within a few minutes one of our experts replied that this is completely normal and fine! ‘

Before the Q&A, she shared her first abs workout while donning a gray sports bra and tight leggings.

Binky is already a parent to son Wolfie, 17 months, with husband Max Darnton, as well as daughter India, five, with her ex-boyfriend and former TV co-star, Josh ‘JP’ Patterson.

In October 2020, Binky revealed that she had unfortunately miscarried earlier that year.

She was expecting her second child – her first with Max – but unfortunately miscarried at 12 weeks, leaving the couple “heartbroken.”

She wrote: ‘I have thought long and hard about this position, but I felt that if I can pass on warmth, comfort or help to someone in the same position, that would be great. It’s only fair that I share my “downs” as well as my “up” moments.

Today would have been my 18 week mark, but unfortunately we had an early miscarriage just before 12 weeks. Not only was this heartbreaking for us, but it also came as a shock to me.

“I hadn’t realized until then how blessed I was to have such a relatively uncomplicated pregnancy with India – I admit I was naive enough to assume that the next one would be so easy, but I had two early scans as I was concerned that I was bleeding. They found a ‘very strong’ heartbeat. On the third scan, however, I was told, “I’m afraid there’s no heartbeat.”

‘My doctor told me 1 in 4 pregnancies will have a miscarriage (not that statistics make it any easier!) With 82% of my followers being women – that means about 237,800 women who ‘follow’ me could (or have) the same ), which is just so sad.

“When we talked about our situation with some close friends, we learned that some of them have also miscarried in the past. I asked them why they never said anything, and all they said was that they felt they couldn’t or shouldn’t talk about it. Almost like it’s a taboo topic, which is heartbreaking.

“If you’ve been through this, I hope you give yourself time to heal mentally and physically and do what you need to. I keep reminding myself that I couldn’t have done anything, and maybe this was nature’s way of saying that for whatever reason this little soul wasn’t ready for the world. Sending so much love.

“Later I learned that @miscarriageassociation is available to help anyone who has/experienced this. It is a national charity that provides support and information to anyone affected by a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, both women and men.

“You can call their helpline or talk to them via live chat or even message them on Instagram and they will do everything they can to help you out.”

Binky announced her third pregnancy in an Instagram post shared with followers on Sunday morning.

The beauty posted a video of herself and businessman Max revealing the unborn child’s first ultrasound while they were out with their blended family.

She shared a sweet family video with her 1.4 million followers, writing: ‘Imagine you’re approaching the ‘oh so quiet’ phase again…. Taurus baby comes in warm’

Binky revealed the joyous news on social media, revealing that the baby will be a Taurus – meaning the due date will be between approximately April 20 and May 20 next year.

The announcement came in the form of a forest video, featuring Binky, Max, India and Wolfie, with hit Bjork song Oh So Quiet in the background.

The former reality star was filmed walking hand in hand with her children through the leafy park as they enjoyed a day out.

Max handed his stepdaughter India a rainbow gift bag during the walk, with the youngster opening it to find a series of ultrasound pictures of her new sibling.

A delighted Binky leaned over and beamed at her daughter, who then jumped for joy as she held the photos.

Max simply wrote festive emojis on his wife’s post, while reposting the video to his own Instagram page, writing, “Can’t wait.”

Binky and Max’s baby news comes three and a half months after the couple tied the knot at a three-day party in Corfu, surrounded by their friends and family.

The announcement mirrored that of Binky’s latest pregnancy reveal in 2020, when she told followers she was expecting Wolfie.

At the time, she shared the news by having India hold up a row of ultrasound photos – in the same way the youngster did before this announcement.

Binky then welcomed Wolfie, her first child with Max, in June 2021 and shared the new arrival with a sweet photo of the trio from the hospital.

The TV Personality born in India in June 2017, but a little over a year later, in September 2018, separated from ex Josh, arguing it was “unfair” for India to stay together.

Binky found love with Max again and the couple announced they got engaged in September 2020 after dating for 19 months.

Spontaneously talking about the proposal via Instagram, which took place after he asked her daughter for permission to ask the question, she wrote, “Easiest ‘Yes’ EVER!”

Max posed the question in a picturesque field in the English countryside.

The pair have been going strong since meeting at separate parties at the private members club Soho Farmhouse in January 2019.
