Kym Marsh's pregnancy has not been easy.
The Coronation Street star, who's 28 weeks gone and expecting a baby girl, has been in and out of hospital since she was diagnosed with an
incompetent
cervix.
'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,' says Kym, 34.
'It's been the longest few months of my life, but I have to give my baby the very best chance of being healthy.'
Kym and fiancé Jamie Lomas's son Archie died in
2009, moments after his unexpected arrival at
21 weeks.
'[St Mary]'s have done everything they can do now and we're just hoping the baby will hold on for as long as possible,' says Kym.
'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!'
