Nikki Manashe, Alex Reid’s fiancee, has revealed a devastating update on her pregnancy concerns after being taken to the hospital.
Alex, 47, of Celebrity Big Brother fame, revealed that Nikki had been rushed to hospital after he noticed she was seriously bleeding at home earlier this week.
She is presently expecting twins, her second and third children with Alex, via in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
Nikki returned to social media on Wednesday, posting photographs of herself in a hospital bed and explaining how doctors have set out numerous possibilities for what may happen in the coming days.
While she is still bleeding, options include going into early labour and physicians trying to save her and her twins’ lives, but she might also recover and carry the pregnancy to term.
Nikki also said that she was supposed to move into a new house with fiance Alex and their one-year-old daughter Anastasia this week, as well as launch a pregnant and baby-friendly candle line.

‘Instead I write this from a hospital bed, scared and emotionally broken,’ she wrote.
She continued: ‘48 hours ago my waters broke from twin A. I started to bleed because I have a low lying placenta. The bleeding is still happening on and off.
‘After speaking to my consultant here is my scenarios –
‘Scenario one – I get very sick from an infection due to waters breaking and end up having to abort both babies to save my life. Scenario two – I deliver my twins within the next 24-72 hours (this is the most common time to go into labour once your waters break) my babies won’t survive.
‘Scenario three – one baby (twin B) keeps growing and survives and we lose the baby that has lost the fluid.
‘Scenario four – both babies survive past 22 weeks, have a special steroid injection to help develop the twins lungs but they still could be delivered early ending up in a special unit for a good few months. If this happens I have been told to be prepared for a high chance of babies suffering with cerebral palsy, limb disfigurements and breathing problems.
‘The last and only scenario I want which could happen is I stay healthy, the fluid returns, babies stay healthy and we last to full term.’
Nikki also stated that she will be in the hospital for the foreseeable future.
‘I have to be brave for my daughter and have to keep fighting for these little twins, my mini reidernaters. Please have us in your prayers tonight,’ she concluded.
It comes after Alex told followers yesterday night that Nikki was finally sleeping after being awake for 24 hours.
He also described seeing her bleeding at home as a “scary” event, and hearing her cry while surrounded by “tonnes of blood” before deciding to rush her to the hospital.
Alex and Nikki have been open about their IVF journey for the last seven years, using it to conceive Anastasia and suffering five losses.
