Last updated at 11:14am on 13.03.08Kerry Katona is at breaking point after conceiving a child to save her marriage, it has been reported.

Kerry is said to be on the verge of a meltdown over her troubled marriage to Marc Croft
A source told Closer: " She's in floods of tears about everything - she's a wreck."
"She goes on about how Marc doesn't love her and is just in it for the money - she said she thought he was going to leave her until she got pregnant again."
The latest incident is the third time Croft has been accused of infidelity.
Samantha Rhiaz, 29, claims she slept with Croft and even produced a recording of a phone call where Mark reportedly revealed he was only with Kerry for the money.
He reportedly said: "Kerry's alright, but she's not my cup of tea. It's about the money. Forget her."
Croft denied the claims to Kerry, who was initially said to be "mad" about the revelations.

But Katona eventually believed Croft's story as he assured her it was not his voice on the tape.
A source told Heat magazine: "Mark has told Kerry that it's not his voice and she believes him.
"In the conversation, the male voice says 'innit' but Mark doesn't use words like that.
"He's used that as a way of trying to convince Kerry that he is telling her the truth."
Katona has suffered from bouts of insecurity in her relationship with Croft, worrying that her pregnant figure has turned him off.
A source told Closer: "Kerry said 'I feel disgusting when I look in the mirror. I don't think Marc finds me attractive anymore - let's see what happens when the money dries up.'"
Persistent reports have claimed that Kerry's finances are in a dire state – she is said to be on the verge of being declared bankrupt if she fails to meet a huge tax debt.
But the couple's friend refutes this, telling Mail Online: "All this talk about bankruptcy is nonsense. They only owe about £20,000 having previously owed around £200,000, and she makes £2 or £3 million pounds a year."
The pair, who live in Wilmslow, Cheshire, with Molly, six, Lily-Sue, five and one-year-old Heidi, are expecting their fourth child in June.
Kerry recently hit back at reports she has an alcohol problem after she was seen drinking wine on her MTV reality show Crazy In Love.
She told OK! magazine: "I'm sorry but what woman who is pregnant has not had a glass of wine? Get over it. A lot of women have more than that. I'm sick of people judging me."
Her spokesperson Max Clifford has also dismissed as "nonsense" reports she has taken cocaine during her pregnancy.

That makes it ok then!
When will people like her realise that just because other women drink alcohol while pregnant doesn't make it right!! If she carries on the way she is rumoured to be then she deserves to have the children taken away from her!
Grow up Kerry!
