Suzanne Shaw has admitted she is anxious as she awaits the birth of her second child, and how it will affect her family dynamic.
The former Hear'Say singer revealed her concerns in her latest blog for Closer magazine as she counts down the final six weeks of her pregnancy.
Shaw, 33, spoke of how she is currently making the final preparations ahead of her due date, but also, how she is spending time with her fiancé Sam Greenfield and her 10-year-old son, Corey.
She revealed in her blog: "Time is ticking away 'til my due date now and I would be lying if I said my brain was not doing over-time. Not only is it doing over-time with my checklist of things to do- do we have everything we need? Nursery is sorted, nappies, baby grows... etc! I'm also thinking about how life is going to change for us all.
"Of course I'm prepared for what's going to happen but it's Sam's first time – how is he going to cope? I know parenting comes naturally to him and he's a great role model to Corey but those sleepless nights and the parental worry can do crazy things to your mind. And then it really tests the strength of the relationship. I have total faith in us but I will be honest, it's crossed my mind a few times.
"Now the one thing that has crossed my mind from day one and has continuously, is what a huge change it's going to be for Corey. Nowadays, families come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and it's reassuring that as parents we just make it work and do what we can to make our children happy.
"Corey is my rock and I worship the ground he walks on. He's always adapted well to every situation we've been in, work or home life, and taken it in his stride. He's never complained and always excels; I'm hoping I have a little to do with his good nature and great attitude but I have to say it's just a part of Corey.
"I know he's really excited about being a brother and he's going to dote on the little baby, I just hope he doesn't feel any major shift in the family dynamic. I'll do everything in my power that he doesn't, but you hear of problems and upset in same parent families, let alone stepdad and mum combo."
The singer-turned-actress then reached out to her fans who have experienced similar feelings or who are currently going through the same situation, explaining: "It's good to feel we're not alone."
Shaw and Greenfield started dating in 2013. After a whirlwind romance, the couple announced their engagement in June 2014. In March of this year, they announced they were expecting their first child together. Shaw is also a mother to Corey, 10, from her previous relationship with Darren Day.
