Pregnant Stephanie Davis rushed to A&E after she was left struggling to breathe and 'on the verge of tears'.

Stephanie Davis was rushed to hospital on Friday night after feeling “really unwell” and having difficulty breathing.

The Hollyoaks star, 31, who is currently pregnant with her second child, took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday to update her followers on her career emergency.

She explained: 'I haven't been feeling well. I'm short of breath and my joints are very swollen.'

Raising his hand to show the camera, he added: “I've turned a funny color, they said it could be pregnancy arthritis, it's killing me.”

“My ankles are swollen and I started getting really short of breath, so the doctor sent me to the ER on Friday night. And I thought I can't sit down, it's torture.”

Stephanie explained that she had been “on the verge of tears,” but explained that doctors had given her nebulizers and she was doing much better.

She said: 'They ended up giving me some nebulisers to help me breathe, so that helped. And right at the end, God knows what time of the morning, we just wanted to get home.

'I was ready to go to bed, on the verge of tears after sitting in those chairs. I'm struggling a little again tonight, but I'm fine, I'm fine. I think I've been a little stressed.

The mother-of-one added that she had decided to go to A&E out of concern for her unborn child, but admitted she was exhausted after the overnight emergency.

She said: 'If I wasn't pregnant I wouldn't have gone because it's just a nightmare, isn't it, sitting there.

“But obviously because of the swollen hands, the swollen feet, the difficulty breathing, the pregnancy, she obviously just wanted to make sure the baby was okay.” So we put up with it.

Stephanie ended her video by saying she had bought chocolate and ice cream and was looking forward to “trying to have a nice weekend” and going for a walk to get some fresh air.

However, she admitted: 'I'm very tired. It's been a bit stressful, I'm going to take my time this week and relax.'
