Amy Childs is dealing with the difficulties and worries of becoming a mother, admitting that she is ‘panicking’ over her pregnant twins.
Amy, 32, of The Only Way Is Essex, is expecting two children with her partner Billy Delbosq, joining her children from past marriages Polly, five, and Ritchie, four.
Despite having gone through pregnancy and childbirth twice previously, Amy feels like she’s gone ‘back to square one’ as she worries for her babies’ health.
In her column for OK! this week, the reality star discussed a recent episode in which she couldn’t sleep and her stomach began ‘cramping’ in the middle of the night.
‘I’ve had it before, it’s not like it’s my first baby, but I said to Bill that something felt different,’ she said.
After experiencing cramps at 1 a.m., the pregnant woman waited until 3.30 a.m. before calling the hospital and explaining she had a ‘belly ache and bad belly pain.’
She stated that she could feel the babies moving and being’really active,’ and she was concerned that if she went to the hospital, she would be told she had Braxton Hicks, or fake labour pains.
‘I’m a worrier, so if the babies weren’t moving I’d have definitely gone down to hospital,’ she added,
The mother-of-two, who is now 35 weeks pregnant, claimed she thought her twins were on the way when she felt the first twinges of cramping – and revealed she had consulted a clairvoyant who warned her she would go into labour this month.

The star of Towie Amy was previously brought to the hospital in January of this year after her babies stopped kicking, but everything turned out well.
She explained in an Instagram live that she ‘didn’t feel a kick’ and ‘rang the midwife straight away, of course I got checked. It was fine.’
Amy confessed: ‘That worry never goes.’
The 32-year-old reality star announced her pregnancy at the end of October, and she recently claimed she was bracing herself for backlash over her decision not to nurse her twins.
She made the decision after struggling with her daughter Polly and realising it ‘wasn’t for her’.
