The Only Way is Essex's Amy Childs has told fans she feels like a 'terrible mum' as she sought their advice. The reality star, who is currently pregnant with twins, is a doting mum to her two children, daughter Polly and son Ritchie but ahead of the birth of her first children with partner Billy Delbosq, Amy is concerned for her firstborn.
Amy took to Instagram on Thursday (March 13) with a photo of Polly, who she shares with an ex-partner, who was sporting a fluffy pink dressing down and sitting on her adorable grown-up bed. "My very emotional Polly," the 32-year-old started her open and honest post.
"Mums wondered if I could ask for some advice, polly has been very emotional lately.. completely overwhelmed, don’t want to leave my side.. keeps on cuddling me and the bumps, maybe she knows change is coming, she tells me how much she loves me and how much she is going to miss me when I drop her off at school," she went on to share.

"It's making me really upset.. any mums going through the same.. I feel such a terrible mum and it’s making me upset. I just want everything to be perfect when the twins come!!" But Amy did end her post: "However in other news today she is a very very happy girl with her new bed from @the_bedroom_centre she has been asking me for a bigs girls bed for months now and finally has got it!!"
Amy's post was quickly flooded with messages from fellow parents who have either faced the situation themselves or had some advice and support to share.
Amy announced her and her partner Billy's exciting pregnancy news back in October. The mum-of-two shared how a pregnancy test over the summer and was shocked when it came back positive. However, the real shock came when she and Billy were told they were having twins.
The joyous news came after Amy thought her family was complete with her two children Polly, five, from her relationship with Bradley Wright, and four-year-old Ritchie who is named after his father and Amy’s ex, Ritchie. But all that changed for the 32-year-old after meeting Essex businessman Billy last year and falling in love.
Following their whirlwind romance, Amy came around to the idea of having another child and planned to get pregnant in 2023, she told OK! Magazine in an exclusive pregnancy photoshoot. But Billy wasn't the first person Amy told when she found out she was pregnant. That honour went to cousin and co-star Harry Derbidge. "I was quite early [into the pregnancy] when I found out and Bill was away working," she explained.
"I said to HarryI feel really different, I did a pregnancy test and it came up positive. I was like, 'Oh my God, Harry, I’m pregnant!' He thought I was joking. I rang Bill straight away and I was like, 'Oh my God, I’m pregnant.' He couldn’t believe it." On expecting twins, Billy, 39, said: "I still can’t get my head round it to be honest – it’s crazy." Amy and former First Dates contestant Billy met on a night out with her mates and discovered they have a mutual friend.
