Katie Price ditches Botox for baby

Katie Price has given up Botox after learning it is bad for pregnant women.

The model is trying for a baby with husband Alex Reid and has ditched the wrinkle-smoothing injections after a doctor advised her the treatment could be harmful to expectant ladies.

A source said: "Katie was gutted but she didn't want to take any chances. She was the one who asked whether it was safe to have the injections when pregnant. When the doctor said it wasn't advisable Katie said, 'No way.' "

The 31-year-old star visited a beauty parlour in Surrey, South East England, on Friday (30.04.10) in preparation for her birthday party on May 22.

But instead of her normal skin-smoothing regime, the brunette beauty - who already has three children, Harvey, seven, Junior, four, and two-year-old Princess Tiaamii from previous relationships - opted for more natural procedures.

The source added to The Sun newspaper: "Instead she had a massage and a normal facial for an hour and a half. She is desperate for a baby after coming off the pill at Christmas. She keeps saying she is worried she will have loads of wrinkles at her birthday party. But deep down all she wants is to get pregnant so vanity has to be put to one side."

Last month, Katie sparked speculation she was expecting after pulling out of the Virgin London Marathon - a 26 mile charity run - after being advised by doctors.
