Stephanie Davis told fans she's been really unwell and is suffering from 'swollen joints' after being rushed into A&E

Pregnant Stephanie Davis was rushed to hospital after struggling to breathe on Friday.

The Hollyoaks star, 31, who told fans she was expecting a baby boy in August this year, said she had been "really unwell" and was suffering from "swollen joints".

Updating her fans on her health on her Instagram Story, Stephanie said her doctor thought she may be experiencing "pregnancy arthritis", sharing: "I've not been feeling well. I've been really short of breath and I've had really swollen joints." Showing her hand to the camera, she continued: "I've gone a funny colour, they said it could be pregnancy arthritis, it's killing me.

"The doctor sent me to A&E on Friday night and they ended up giving me some nebulisers to help me breathe, so that helped."

Admitting she was on the "verge of tears" having been in A&E until the early hours of the morning, the Over The Rainbow star said she "just wanted to get home".

Conceding she was "still struggling a bit" on Saturday night, Stephanie assured fans she was ok, saying: "I'm ok, I'm fine, I've just been a bit stressed, I think."

Saying she wouldn't have gone to A&E if she wasn't pregnant, Stephanie concluded that she had to go because of her shortness of breath and swollen joints, but said she was, thankfully, "all cosy at home" as she recovers.

Stephanie revealed she is pregnant with a baby boy in August, following a 'rollercoaster' few months which included a tragic miscarriage.

In a chat with OK! magazine, alongside her partner Joe McKalroy, the actress expressed her joy about the new addition to their family, which also includes Stephanie's seven-year old son.
