Pregnant Danielle Lloyd forced into a wheelchair due to terrible pain

She doesn't breeze through pregnancy

Drama and Danielle Lloyd go hand in hand, don’t they?

You name it, it’s happened to her.

Over the years, she has been stripped of her Miss England title after it was discovered she’d posed for Playboy, fell foul of the public in Celebrity Big Brother, was publicly dumped by Teddy Sherringham, discovered her husband Jamie O’Hara was fooling around behind her back – and yet she somehow seems to keep smiling.

Good for her.

However, she’s got something else to feel fed up about now.

During what she hoped would be a peaceful holiday in Dubai, the one-time glamour girl ended up with such crippling pelvic pain she was forced to get around in a wheel chair.

You see, Danielle suffers from Symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD).

The pain she suffers is so severe that she says she is often bedridden until it subsides.

The condition is actually pretty common and affects one in 300 pregnancies.

Fortunately, her fiancé Michael O’Neill and three young sons Harry, Archie and George were on hand to take her mind off things as they enjoyed a day out at the IMG Worlds of Adventure.

Of course, Dani is not the type to let the pain get the better of her, and at one point she heaved herself up out of the wheelchair and let one of her boys sit in it for a while.

She’s one tough momma!

The expectant mum recently said in her OK! column that she has been suffering terrible pain during this fourth pregnancy and is extra wary after her last boy Harry was born 10 weeks prematurely.

“I always try and get on with things but I want to avoid what happened with Harry at all costs so I’m going straight to the hospital to get checked out,” she said.

“I also feel like I’m suffering with Braxton Hicks which is far too early.”

Danielle also revealed that the pain this time around has been so severe that she almost passed out during a recent getaway with Michael last month.

“The flight home was a bit of a scare as, when I was walking, it felt like the baby was pushing down and I nearly passed out once I sat down,” she revealed.

“I felt better after a sleep but I still really want to get checked out.”

Last month Danielle shared a 4D scan of her unborn son and said she had noticed that the baby was a dead ringer for Michael.

She wrote next to the snap: “My little man looking the double of his daddy @gint1986. Can’t wait for him to get here.”

However, while she’s happy about the new addition to the family, she did admit that her sons weren’t exactly over the moon when they found she was having a boy – as revealed on Loose Women.

“The boys didn’t take it very well unfortunately!” she said.

“We got a box and filled it with balloons – pink for a girl or blue for a boy; when they opened it and saw the blue balloons they started crying!”
