The 31-year-old was put on a drip after doctors discovered she was dehydrated during a routine appointment.
Tiffany was being tested for gestational diabetes in hospital when medics became concerned.
She told fans: "Went in this morning to get tested again for gestational diabetes because the baby is measuring so big and ended up on a drip due to being so dehydrated and baby heart rate high.
"I just can't shake this flu I've got. It's been about ten days now.
"My whole pregnancy has been so smooth and now right at the end it's proving so hard.
"Hope I'll be better soon."
Tiffany, 31, is expecting another baby boy with her footballer husband Cameron McGeehan, 29.
The couple are already proud parents to one-year-old son Jude.
Tiffany is the younger sister of Lucy, who joined series four of Made in Chelsea in 2012.
She arrived on the E4 show two years later and previously dated Sam Thompson in front of the cameras.
What is gestational diabetes?
Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy and usually goes away once you give birth.
The NHS states that it can happen at any stage of pregnancy, but is more common in the second or third trimester.
It happens when your body cannot produce enough insulin – a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels – to meet your extra needs in pregnancy.
Gestational diabetes can cause problems for you and your baby during pregnancy and after birth. But the risks can be reduced if the condition is detected early and well managed.

Since then, he has undergone monthly check-ups using videoscopes to monitor his condition - a procedure he once described as feeling like going "a couple of rounds with Mike Tyson".With funding from the Stars Appeal, the hospital's charity, six new videoscopes which cut appointment times have been purchased at a cost of £115,000. These devices allow for quicker and more comfortable diagnoses for patients with suspected head and neck their introduction in September, more than 1,600 patients referred with suspected head and neck cancers have benefitted from their use. 'Felt like a punch' Mr Russell said: "I am well used to this unpleasant procedure, but the new cameras make it so much more comfortable. For new patients, they will significantly reduce the fear of having it done."He added: "The new cameras made the procedure so much easier to manage. Sometimes it used to feel like being punched in the nose."The upgraded scopes also offer doctors much clearer images, helping them to detect changes in patients over time. This is particularly important for people like Mr Russell, whose cancer has been persistent and unpredictable. "The unique nature of my cancer meant it kept coming and going. This equipment is really important because doctors can now see subtle changes that may signal something's happening," he scopes are part of a new 'one-stop' diagnostic service led by the hospital's Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) and Maxillofacial can now receive assessments in a single visit, instead of attending multiple departments. ENT consultant Mr Kostas Marinakis said the new equipment has had a major impact. "The superior image quality gives us the best chance of detecting early cancers and significantly improves the comfort of the procedure. "We're extremely grateful to the Stars Appeal supporters for making this possible."
