Pregnant Alex Jones takes to Instagram to reveal she’s been rushed to hospital after she couldn’t feel baby move – but reassures fans her tot is fine
PREGNANT Alex Jones took to Instagram today to reveal she's been rushed to hospital after she couldn't feel her baby move - but reassured fans her tot is fine.
The One Show presenter revealed she was pregnant with her second child in December.
Alex, 41, and husband Charlie Thomson, are already parents to son Edward, two, but Alex feared something was wrong with her unborn baby when she hadn't felt it move for a while.
Taking to her Instagram Stories today, Alex posted a picture of herself lying on a hospital bed, a monitor strapped to her stomach while wearing a grey sweater.
She wrote across it: "Hadn't felt much movement from the baby for a few days so lying here being monitored."
Alex then told other expectant mums not to be afraid of seeking reassurance if they are worried about something similar.
She added: "If in doubt mammas ALWAYS check! So reassuring to hear the heartbeat."
Alex first revealed the happy news she was pregnant again during a festive edition of The One Show in December.
Alex was congratulated by her co-host Matt Baker and hundreds of viewers, who inundated the show’s social media handles with their well wishes.
Holding her stomach, the Welsh TV star explained: “Now I’ve not been on the mince pies! There is a little baby – look.”

Alex had made no secret of her desire to have a second child and last year told The Sun it had been tough trying to conceive again.
She said: “I have to say, the first time – absolutely fine. Luckily, God, it happened.
“But second time, not as easy. I suppose I’m older now, but we took it for granted that it would be OK. "But you don’t really know until you start trying how it’s going to go, do you?"
