Jackie O has been ordered to wait out the rest of her pregnancy in hospital.

With only weeks left till the birth of her first child, the radio host was admitted to Sydney’s Mater Hospital Thursday after a routine check-up.

Jackie O called her 2Day FM co-host Kyle Sandilands and fill-in Sophie Monk (currently doing the show from LA) to tell them the news.

“Because it’s an IVF baby it’s actually quite small so I’ve been ordered to stay in hospital for the rest of the time and hopefully things improve,” she explained on air.

The Kyle and Jackie O star is not really enjoying her confinement so far. “I guess we’ll keep doing our tests and go from there. I hope not because I’m already going crazy in here,” she said.

While Sandilands wasn’t too happy about the situation either – “Now I’m all stressed, now I can feel a stress rash” – Monk has agreed to fill in full time until Jackie returns. “I’m backing you 100 per cent, Jackie, take as much time off as you need,” she reassured her.

Though Jackie O hasn’t disclosed the sex of her baby, she’s been open about the fact she’d love a little girl, and Sydney’s Daily Telegraph reports she was spotted in Double Bay perusing infant girl’s clothing, so she may yet get her wish!
