Sam Faiers reveals she's struggling with 'broken sleep' amid third trimester of pregnancy

Sam Faiers has revealed that she is struggling with her latest pregnancy, stating that the third trimester in particular is tough.

The reality star, 31, announced that she was expecting another child with her partner Paul Knightley, 33, a few months ago, with her sharing the news on social media.

The Only Way is Essex alum and her property developer beau are already parents to two young children; with son Paul, six, the eldest and their youngest, daughter Rosie, four.

And although it's not the first time that she's been pregnant, Sam had admitted that this time around has been a challenging experience, particularly in recent weeks.

She opened up about her experience to her 2.5 million followers on Instagram this evening, admitting that she is feeling particularly tired during the third trimester.

Alongside a video of her in bed, she wrote: "Wow. I've not been as tired as this with the last two pregnancies. Maybe because I have Paul and Rosie keeping me on my toes."

Sam - who was an original cast member on TOWIE - added: "Last trimester is really getting me. Broken sleep all night doesn't help I guess. Lord give me energy and motivation."

Her post comes after the reality star revealed that she intends to convert her dining room into a birthing suite, so that she can deliver the baby at home later this year.

She made the admission on a recent instalment of The Sam & Billie Show podcast earlier this month - with her hosting the project with older sister Billie Shepherd, 32.

Sam explained: "The home birth will be in the new house. The dining room is quite nice. I think we won't put very much in there. We will just make it like a birthing suite."

And when asked by her sister whether she would have a pool added to the room for the birth, the Mummy Diaries star said that it was "definitely" part of her birthing plan.

Sam is best known for having been an original cast member on TOWIE, which debuted in 2010. She remained on the reality series for several years, but left the show in 2014.

She later appeared as a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother and more recently was the focus of the reality show The Mummy Diaries, which ran from 2016 until 2021.
