Former Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby has opened up about the fear she feels over becoming a mam for the first time.
The 32-year-old is expecting a girl with boyfriend Jake Ankers, and her due date is fast approaching. But the star has previously admitted that the pregnancy has not been an easy one, revealing that she battled with prenatal depression as well as PTSD from an ectopic pregnancy in 2016.
And as a fan asked for advice on social media, Charlotte responded with a candid message in which she admitted that her pregnancy worries had recently reduced her to tears. The star also said that she had found herself turning to her own mam for support before the baby comes along, The Mirror reports .

A fan messaged Charlotte: “I’m 25 weeks pregnant and I just hate it… any advice??? I feel like I may not be a good mom”. Charlotte shared the question on her Instagram Stories, along with a photo of her in tears.
“This was me yesterday,” the star admitted. “I cried all morning and my mam had to give me a big pep talk.
“I'm so so so so so scared about this HUGE change in my life and I worry about it all the time! Don't you worry about a single thing, it's totally normal to feel that way!”
Charlotte added: "You also have raging hormones coursing around your body! I struggled with a bit of prenatal depression in the very beginning as well, which again is so normal!
“These feelings aren't going to last forever my girl,” she reassured the fan. “Pregnancy can be really, really tough. I've not had the easiest. Remember to keep talking to your loved ones about all your feelings - don't keep them bottled up.”
Charlotte had close friends and Geordie Shore co-stars Holly Hagan and Sophie Kasaei in tears as she broke the news of her pregnancy in an emotional reveal at a reunion party at the Boiler Shop in Newcastle. The star also threw a lavish gender reveal party at Above rooftop bar in the city centre , where the letter G was drawn in the sky to confirm that the pair were expecting a girl.
Charlotte has also revealed that she will be giving birth on camera as part of a BBC documentary about her pregnancy journey. The star said that she has picked a name for her daughter, and predicted that she is “going to be a pop star”.
