LeAnn Rimes has stopped using birth control

Speaking to Eddie on their VH1 reality TV show 'LeAnn & Eddie' last night (21.08.14), she said: "She [the specialist] told me that my levels are on the lower side of normal and that we should not be waiting very much longer. Does that freak you out?"

Eddie - who already has sons Mason, 10, and Jake, six with his ex-wife Brandi Glanville - appeared to question whether they were ready to have a child just yet.

LeAnn hit back: "I know we were not planning on having a child right now, but I also do not want to miss what possibly could be my only opportunity to have a child naturally."

The blonde beauty decided to consult a doctor about her fertility levels after her mother Belinda revealed it took 12 years for her to fall pregnant with LeAnn.

LeAnn said: "I knew my mom had difficulty having me, but I never really knew how difficult it was. Eddie and I have talked about waiting a little bit longer before we try to have kids. It had never popped into my head that maybe I will have the same trouble she did."
