PREGNANT Megan McKenna has opened up on the horror health ordeal which saw her rushed to hospital after her tongue was left "double the size."
We reported the ex TOWIE star's "really scary" experience earlier this week after she had a "painful abscess" and suffered the second allergic reaction in two weeks.
Megan, 31, announced she was pregnant with her first child with footballer fiance Oliver Burke, 27, last month.
Yet the TV star turned country singer has suffered a difficult maternity journey so far, previously suffering another allergic reaction which saw her stomach also double in size.
Now she has opened up on this week's experience in a candid video posted to her Instagram page.

Megan said: "I woke up in the morning and my tongue was double the size.
"My neck and my throat was swollen and it was affecting me swallowing an everything.
"It was really scary."

Megan then told how she went to an emergency dentist for the abscess, and was prescribed painkillers.
She then admitted: "As soon as I started to take it I felt so weird the swelling got worse and I was being sick.
"Yesterday they told me to call 999 if my swelling got worse, obviously, because it can stop you breathing because it's in your throat."
Megan then advised her fans she was in the danger zone for a secondary reaction to the pills and, as such, was admitted to hospital.
The Odds singer continued: "Now it's all about trying to get better, it's just so bad.

"Just being pregnant has made my body so much more sensitive, I am allergic to everything.
"I've been in so much pain. I've been on codeine and paracetamol and when I say that the codeine just takes the edge off, I have still been in pain.
"Honestly, it's the worst thing ever, I wouldn't wish it on anyone."
She then told fans she was living off a diet of chopped up and baby food, to make sure she is keeping up with her nutrient intake.

As the Celeb X Factor star closed off her video she said: "It is nowhere near how bad it was yesterday.
"It was so bad but thank you for all the kind messages worrying about me.
"I am just praying, praying, praying over the next 24 hours I get better."
In her post earlier in the week, the Ex On The Beach star was quick to thank staff at Birmingham City Hospital.
Baby reveal
Back in April, Megan made her baby reveal alongside a cute video in which she wrote: “A little bit of you and a little bit of me… now we’re a family.”
Megan and Oliver got engaged weeks after making their red carpet debut as a couple.
Her baby-daddy got down on one knee on June 14 2023 after just five months of dating.
They shared a romantic video of the proposal in Montenegro.
At the time, Megan told fans: "YES YES YES a thousand times YES. You have opened up a world I never thought was possible. I love you Oliver Burke… here’s to forever my future husband."
Oliver added: "I promise to love you for the rest of my life.
"I can’t wait to grow old with you my wife to be. I love you. Forever. And always."
