It comes after Clelia revealed she broke both her legs and feet after a horrific car accident at the end of May which left her in hospital.
The former TOWIE star described her ‘painful’ injuries as she gave a health update via Instagram on Wednesday.
The TV personality, whose mother tragically died in the terrifying accident, revealed she has undergone ‘three operations’ and is ‘still facing another’.
Clelia said she “takes each day as it comes” and shared that their little bundle of joy “keeps her going every day” and “makes her more determined” to get better.
She wrote: ‘My reality: 35 weeks pregnant, two broken legs and two broken feet. I’ve broken more bones than I knew you had in your feet, and I will forever be setting off metal detectors at airports.
‘Three operations later, the healing process is going well. It’s a long and slow process, but I’m getting there.
‘I have yet to have an operation and there have been some tough setbacks, unforeseen delays and a lot of pain along the way, but the most important thing is that our little baby is fighting through it with me, which keeps me going every day, which makes me more determined and gives me so much strength, more than I ever thought I would have in a situation as difficult as this.
“It would be a dream to be on my feet before our bundle of joy arrives, but I just have to take each day as it comes.”
Clelia thanked partner Tommy for his ‘support’ and for becoming her ‘full-time carer’ after ‘the worst day of her life’.
She continued, “Having never broken a bone in my body or experienced anything even close to the pain and discomfort I experienced, I’m really proud of myself and my body for how far I have come since that day, the worst day of my life.
‘@tommy.cole has not only been the most supportive, loving and understanding partner, but he also had to become my full-time caregiver and I couldn’t get through a day without him.
“I can’t thank you enough, my dearest @tommy.cole, for your unconditional care and love.”
Alongside the post, the reality star shared a series of photos, including one of herself in a wheelchair wearing two black molded boots as she cradled her baby bump in front of the mirror.
