This trip to the hospital comes after Lucy had to rush Roman to the hospital back in September. The two-year-old was put on a ventilator after Lucy found him ‘blue’ in his cot.

Why did Lucy Mecklenburgh take Roman to the hospital before?

The former TOWIE star explained that Roman suffers from a “viral-induced wheeze” that has seen him in and out of hospital for a while.

Speaking about the night she found Roman ill in his cot back in September on the Snot, Sweat and Tears podcast, Lucy said: “I watched him on the monitor and he seemed fine, and at 4 am something didn’t feel right.”

The model then went on to say: “I watched him on the monitor and he was moving very slowly, side to side, and I thought, ‘This doesn’t feel right and I want to go and see him.”

“I think it’s in us all and as mums, we just know don’t we?” she continued. “Anyway, Basildon Hospital and St. Mary’s in London, I just want to say a huge thank you. I was in the safest hands ever.”

What else did Lucy have to say about Roman’s illness?

Lucy, who is engaged to ex-Corrie star, Ryan Thomas, said she thinks isolation during the pandemic affected Roman’s immune system.

She added: “I don’t know this for a fact, but I think potentially Roman was born ten days before Covid and because he was kept so isolated – literally isolated for six months – he didn’t have a chance to fight off viruses.”

Lucy Mecklenburgh announced her second pregnancy on November 8 with an adorable Instagram post.

In the picture, Lucy is showing off her bump, with Roman sitting next to her showing off his belly too.

The picture, which has 372k likes, was full of comments from fans and celebrities alike wishing the star their congratulations.
