Charlotte Dawson was startled when her waters abruptly broke in her sleep.
‘Last night was a bit of a weird, unexpected, rainy night,’ the singer wrote her 1.3 million Instagram fans yesterday evening.
The Celebs Go Dating star, 30, isn’t supposed to give birth to her second kid until next week, but it appears like things are moving a bit faster than intended.
Charlotte already has a two-year-old son named Noah, and she and fiancé Matt Sarsfield revealed earlier this year that they are expecting another child.
‘You couldn’t write it, I’ve just done my tan and my waters break’ the star said, joking that ‘tanning Thursdays’ was probably the worst ever time for this to happen.
‘It’s been a bit of a mad 24 hours, I had this big gush of water come last night,’ she continued.
Luckily, her waters breaking didn’t ruin that tan – ‘thank god.’
But it wasn’t all jokes, as Charlotte admitted the doctors were ‘worried’ about her baby, as she explained: ‘This is minging to say, but I had brown stuff, and obviously they thought it could be old blood and stuff so that was a bit of a worry.’
Also, the baby’s movements had ‘got a bit slow’.
Fortunately, upon inspection – and after “the jelly was on the belly” – he began to wiggle about a bit more, at which time Charlotte had small contractions, which she described as being equivalent to extremely awful period discomfort.

The doctor also went ‘down there’ to examine what the water-breakage problem was, and discovered that it was her ‘back waters’ that ruptured, not the front ones that popped.
‘So everything’s fine, no infection or anything,’ Charlotte reassured her followers, but added she had to be careful as there was a risk of infection still.
‘I’m not dilated yet. But she could feel his head,’ the star – who is daughter of comic Les Dawson – explained.
‘I just didn’t expect it last night, because I didn’t have any pains or anything. It was really weird these waters breaking, because I just didn’t have any pain. I had bits of pain, and I just had to sit through it,’ she added.
As the hospital was ‘busy’ Charlotte got sent home, ‘still with bumpalicious’ as there was ‘no point waiting around’.
Charlotte, on the other hand, was having trouble sleeping last night, despite the fact that she was ‘knackered’ from not sleeping the night before.
What is the solution? Some ‘delicious buttery toast,’ a cup of tea, and the new Whitney Houston biopic.
Not much longer… Charlotte, you’ve got this!
