Pregnant Stacey Solomon once told how starting a family left her fearing she could “die at any point”.
The Loose Women star – who is heavily pregnant with her fifth child – said she felt “invincible” before she became a mum to son Zach at 18.
But things changed as soon as she had given birth and she started worrying about what might happen.
Stacey Solomon felt ‘vulnerable’ after having baby
She told You magazine in 2021: “When I had Zachary I was still a kid, I felt like I could do anything and I was invincible. All of that went away immediately when I gave birth.
“I felt vulnerable, like I could die at any point.”
Loose Women star Stacey, 33, said that played a big role in the anxiety that has stayed with her.
I felt vulnerable, like I could die at any point.
But the TV star said the positive side of that is that she is “really vigilant” about her health and makes sure she gets things checked out.
How many kids do the couple have?
As well as 14-year-old Zachary, Stacey is mum to 10-year-old son Leighton, who is also from a previous relationship.
She and her husband Joe Swash have three-year-old son Rex and one-year old daughter Rose together.
