While she's thrilled to be expecting her fourth child with hubby Kieran Hayler, Jordan is also struggling with miscarriage fears and the knock-on effect it could have on her seven-week-old marriage.

'She can't help but worry it's a lot to deal with so soon. Her great fear is losing the baby'
And after dating stripper Kieran for just six weeks before they wed in January, Jordan – aka Katie Price – who is thought to be around three months pregnant, has told pals she’s worried about such a life-changing upheaval.
A pal says: “Katie’s told friends that while she’s thrilled about the pregnancy and hopes it will bring her and Kieran closer, she can’t help but worry it’s a lot to deal with so soon. But her great fear is losing the baby.”
The former glamour model, who’s already mum to Harvey, 10, Junior, seven, and Princess, five, suffered a miscarriage before her split with Peter Andre in 2009 and has said she had terminations during their relationship.
She also had crippling postnatal depression with Junior, which she described in her book Jordan: Pushed To The Limit as “one of the worst times of my life,” saying it turned her into a “right psycho woman.” The star later endured traumatic attempts at IVF in 2010 during her marriage to cage-fighter Alex Reid.
'Katie's worried about post natal depression, which pushed her to the edge'
Now pals say Jordan – who’s reportedly planning a C-section for August – is worried history could repeat itself. A source says: “The thought of having a miscarriage dredges up her worst memories. Losing her last baby left her heartbroken. Her marriage to Pete was under strain – and that made things worse. They split weeks later.
“Katie’s also worried about postnatal depression, which pushed her to the edge. But she’s aware of the warning signs. So she is really trying to take things slowly and eat healthily to avoid any complications."
