Pregnant Danielle Lloyd has revealed that she feared the worst after she was rushed to hospital last week and doctors said they couldn’t find her unborn baby’s heartbeat.
The 27-year-old WAG was dramatically dashed to A&E after collapsing and vomiting in the shower, where she was diagnosed with ‘serious dehydration and dizziness’ and put on a drip.
But the four-months-pregnant star faced more horror when doctors thought she might be suffering a virus that puts pregnant women at risk of miscarrying – then couldn’t locate her unborn child’s heartbeat.
Scared: Pregnant Danielle Lloyd, seen here leaving Liverpool Women’s Hospital last week, revealed at one point medics couldn’t find her unborn baby’s heartbreak
The model, who is engaged to footballer Jamie O’Hara, was struck down by severe stomach pains the day after a visit to Alton Towers with her family and her friend Katie Price.

The following day, Danielle and Jamie, 24, visited her parents’ home in Liverpool. But as soon as they arrived, Danielle took a turn for the worse and was rushed to hospital in the city by Jamie and her mother.
On arrival, she was put into isolation because medics feared she was suffering from a virus that could be harmful to other pregnant women.

She told New! magazine: ‘I felt so weak that Jamie had to undress me. I had stomach pains, which the doctors said was caused by vomiting constantly with nothing in my stomach. The pain was unbearable.’
Danielle continued: ‘I was really, really worried for the baby. An internal examination was done at A&E, but I asked if they could give me a scan or listen to the baby’s heartbeat.
‘My mind was all over the place. It was really terrifying. In the end, they brought the machine round to listen to the baby’s heartbeat and it was literally 25 minutes until they found it. I was panicking so much.
‘I remember just looking at Jamie and trying not to cry. My baby means everything.’
Fortunately, Danielle was deemed recovered enough to be discharged last Tuesday evening, though she has been warned to take things easy.
She has hired a nanny to look after her eight-month-old baby Archie full time and is taking anti-sickness medication.
She wrote on her Twitter: ‘At home with my boys still feel very tired & weak but happy X’
The baby is due in August.
