Krystal – who is 13 weeks pregnant – has previously suffered two devastating miscarriages in the past.

‘On Sunday we had the fright of our lives, in a public bathroom I had a really bad bleed and we were convinced that there was no way our little baby would make it after losing so much blood,’ Krystal said in her lengthy Instagram post.
‘I went to emergency and was told that I was most likely suffering an impending miscarriage.’
Krystal said she chose to go home to see if she needed to book a D&C (dilation and curettage) with her obstetrician.
‘That evening my heart felt like it was being crushed, I was mourning for another child that I had never met, I just couldn’t believe this was happening again,’ Krystal said.
Krystal said that she and husband Neil Hipwell and their two children, daughter Nakoda, one, and son Sunny, five, opted to pray for the baby in the hopes of a miracle.

‘We were so shocked that our little baby had survived,’ Krystal said.
‘We believe it is nothing short of a miracle!!! We still aren’t completely out of the woods just yet.’
She finished: ‘We are scared but hopeful for our baby’s future and so grateful to God for our little miracle.’

‘Feeling so incredibly blessed to be able to grow our family,’ Krystal wrote online at the time.
‘Even if it means we will now be pushed into that category where we will no longer be invited over for dinner parties and will most likely never find a babysitter ever again.’
Krystal also revealed on her Instagram Story that she hasn’t been able to go to the gym as usual because of her morning sickness.
‘I’ve been feeling terribly nauseous. It’s the worst I’ve felt in any of my pregnancies,’ she said.
Krystal rose to fame on the 2006 season of Big Brother when she was just 19.
After appearing on the reality show, she enjoyed a varied career in the spotlight.
At the height of her fame, she would regularly model for men’s magazines and briefly starred on the singing show It Takes Two in 2007.
