Charlotte, 28, was rushed to hospital on Saturday night after a medical diagnosis on Friday of diabetes.
The reality TV star took to social media to reveal how both she and partner Matthew Sarsfield were left terrified something was wrong.
Charlotte, who is the daughter of late comedian Les Dawson, said: “Another bloody scare tonight my darlings…
“Not felt our little man kick properly for 48 hours but everything was fine… He’s just been quiet.
“Thank God. Better to be safe than sorry.”

The northern gal said: “My darlings I had a little mini scare… I’ve had such a smooth run pregnancy thought it was too good to be true… well apart from being soooo drained and tired.
“Well this explains why I have been.
“I got a phone call saying I’ve got diabetes and it was really high my result, which has knocked me.”
Insisting she had been trying to improve her diet before the diagnosis, Charlotte continued: “I know people will be like.. ‘well your diet is horrendous you live off chips and gravehhh’.. yes my diet isn’t the best, but I have been trying!

“With my homemade soups smoothies etc but my nurse said it’s not bad diet that brings it on, but I have to cut junk out now. Which is terrifying but anything for my baby boyo.. I’m just scared.”
Referring to the need to now inject herself with insulin, Charlotte said: “I have no other words, petrified of needles.. having to jab myself 4 times a day is sooo scary.
“Matthew and I were so upset, we thought the worst.. as long as our little man is ok!
“Some people may think it’s nothing but did upset me… I went to hospital today an they were so lovely, said it’s the pregnancy diabetes but I have to be so careful because I could end up with it full time quite bad…
“My dad had it so thought that might have something to do with it!! Anyway story time has been a bit emotional tonight my darlings… love you all happy chuffin Friday.”
Charlotte previously revealed she is due to give birth on February 1, 2021 – a day before her what would have been her late father’s 90th birthday.
