Charlotte Chilton has given an emotional update on her pregnancy, telling fans she feels ‘broken’ after experiencing severe pain.
The Traitors star is pregnant with her first child and has been documenting her experience on Instagram.
In her latest post, the 33-year-old has claimed to have been ‘terribly treated’ by the NHS.
Sharing her ‘reality’ she alleges that her appointments with consultants have been cancelled, that a midwife had incorrect due date information, and that she is being told different things.
‘I have never experienced pain like this and I get told to get on with it,’ she wrote.
‘I can’t walk I’m spending 2-3 hours at appointments they cancel and don’t tell me waiting around to be robbed off after my wait.. plus 1.5 hour round trip just to get there … and this is happening multiple times a week!

‘I am literally broken and I said please can I have some help when finally speaking to a doctor.
‘He wants admit me for a break? From what? You already said you won’t do anything else I have to wait for specialists (which is a week before my induction) .. he was however comforting unlike the eye rolling and short tempered lady I had before!!’
She added that after having seven miscarriages, she has ‘a mountain of complications’ that make things ‘unbelievably overwhelming’.

‘My respect goes out to all other mothers in my situation trying to get through a tough and scary pregnancy .. especially the ones doing it alone 💗,’ she concluded.
In an accompanying video, Charlotte is seen crying as she further elaborates on her ‘terrible day’.
Sharing that she intended to have a baby shower on Saturday, Charlotte said she was in ‘so much pain’ as she wiped away her tears. ‘I can’t get any help. I get passed around,’ she shared.
‘Penelope’s doing great,’ she also stated. Penelope is the name Charlotte has chosen for her unborn daughter.

Last month, Charlotte told her 36k followers that she had been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, and that she’d also developed a rash, which had spread to her whole body. She also developed SPD – a form of pelvic pain that can occur during pregnancy, that can worsen with walking or even turning over in bed, according to the NHS.
‘This has been exceptionally painful and extremely debilitating!!’ she explained.
Charlotte revealed earlier this year that her baby’s birth father is the Conor Maynard and that he will not be raising the baby with her.
Her relationship with the singer began shortly after The Traitors wrapped up, with the two meeting through a mutual friend, Harry Clark, who won the series.

Charlotte exclusively told Metro.co.uk that she met singer Conor, 31, at Raffles nightclub on the night the final of the Traitors aired – January 26. She claims winner Harry Clark – who is dating Conor’s younger sister Anna – made it clear Conor wanted her to go to the London nightclub.
‘He insisted on having that party there because he wanted to meet me and he knew I was newly single,’ she recalled.
Their budding relationship quickly soured when Charlotte discovered she was pregnant.
In an emotional video posted on social media, Charlotte opened up about the pain and disappointment she felt when Conor reacted negatively to the news of her pregnancy.

‘She deserves to know where she comes from. I’m not a secret, she’s not a dirty secret. I won’t be treated like one anymore, I won’t be silenced,’ Charlotte declared in the video.
‘I’m prepared to do this alone, but I’m not prepared to have my daughter have to grow up and not be able to say who her father is, or should I say, birth father, or hide it from her,’ she told Metro.co.uk in a June interview.
‘She deserves to know where she comes from. I’m not a secret, she’s not a dirty secret. I won’t be silenced.’
‘I am standing up for myself regardless of if it comes back to me. I just can’t do this be quiet, and shut up anymore,’ she said.
In the past, Charlotte endured seven miscarriages and unsuccessful IVF treatments during her previous marriage to her estranged wife, Laura.
