Kym Marsh has revealed that she is relieved to be out of hospital after spending time under observation because of complications with her pregnancy.
The 'Coronation Street' star, who is 28 weeks gone, explained that she is on modified bed rest but is happy to be at home.
In an interview with Now magazine, she said: "I was released after a spell in hospital under observation last Monday and it's lovely to be back home, although I'm still on modified bed rest.
"It's been the longest few months of my life, but I have to give my baby the very best chance of being healthy."
The 33-year-old and her partner Jamie Lomas, pictured, lost their son Archie in 2009 after he arrived early at 21 weeks and she said that she hopes her baby girl will not be premature.
She added: "We're just hoping the baby will hold on for as long as possible.
"She's got hiccups all the time at the moment. It feels like a constant tapping. I couldn't work out what it was at first!"
