Pregnant Jodi Albert has revealed she fears being hit with postnatal depression for a second time.
The Wonderland star suffered with the condition after son Koa was born nearly three years ago.
And the 31-year-old now worries it will return after the announcement that she was expecting again with husband Kian Egan.
She said: “I think once you’ve had it, it is definitely something you become aware of. You look out for the signs.

“Personally I don’t think it will come back – but you never know. I’d know what to look for whereas the first time I had no idea.”
She told the Sunday Mirror: “I definitely think there are more women out there who suffer in silence than the ones who are actually vocal about it.
“It’s still something that’s very much in the dark, especially in Ireland. I do think a lot of women are so strong, they bring up their children and they stay very quiet.”
