Mum-of-two Kym Marsh is 26 weeks pregnant, but only because of very careful treatment to ensure her baby isn't born premature.
The actress has been diagnosed with an incompetent cervix and describes her pregnancy as a 'nightmare'.
'I couldn't go through this again, it's too heartbreaking,' says Kym.
'I can definitely say my childbearing days are over, I'm just not equipped to deal with it at the grand old age of 34.'
The Coronation Street star is already mum to David, 15 and Emily, 13, from a former relationship.
Kym and fiancé Jamie Lomas' son Archie died in 2009, moments after his unexpected arrival at
21 weeks.
Kym has had a stitch in her cervix to protect her little girl and she and Jamie, 30, are feeling optimistic that all will be well.
'It will all be worth it if she arrives here safely,' says Kym.
'I have no doubt that whenever she gets here she'll be A1.
'She's our little miracle, that's for sure.'
