Amy: “I’ll be relieved when this pregnancy is over”
Pals say that while Amy Childs is delighted to be expecting her second child, she’s physically tired and stressed
She announced in S April that she was expecting a baby with businessman boyfriend Ritchie, just one year after welcoming daughter Polly with her ex Bradley Wright.
And insiders say that while former TOWIE star Amy Childs is excited about the new addition to her family – due in September – she’s admitted to pals she’ll be relieved to not be pregnant soon.
A source says, “Amy has said she feels like she’s been pregnant for the past two years! She loves being a mum, but having two babies so close together is a tough task for anyone. Polly is only 13 months old, and being a mother to her while heavily pregnant has beenstressful. The recent heatwave has also left her feeling tired and swollen. It’s been a lot to handle.”
Opening up about her postbaby body last July, Amy, 28, – who split from Bradley just six weeks after welcoming Polly – slammed trolls, insisting, “What gets me down is the negative comments. I’m a size 10 so people need to lay off.”
But insiders say partner Ritchie – whose surname has never been revealed in an attempt to stay out of the limelight – has been boosting her confidence.
The source says, “Amy confessed she was nervous about getting her body back in shape, especially after having two babies so close together. But Ritchie has been amazing. He makes her feel beautiful and he’s reassured her there’s no rush to slim down. He loves her pregnancy curves and can’t wait for them to welcome their first child together.”
