Dewberry first disclosed that she and partner Simon Jordan, former owner of Crystal Palace, were expecting a baby back in April.
In June, she divulged that her waters had broken at 28 weeks which saw her brought into hospital for an extended stay where she was subsequently diagnosed with preterm premature rupture of the membranes.
At the time, Dewberry described her experience after being admitted to hospital as "pretty horrendous" as well as "traumatic".
Dewberry won the second series of The Apprentice back in 2006. She's also ventured into politics after standing as an independent candidate in the 2017 general election for Hull West and Hessle, with just 5.5% of the vote.
She also stood for the constituency again in 2019 for the Brexit Party, coming third with 18% of the vote.
