Erin Molan rushed to hospital in an ambulance

The Footy Show host Erin Molan, who is eight months pregnant with her first child, has been rushed to hospital in an ambulance after falling in a shopping centre.

At an appearance on Thursday, Molan explained that she had the fall in a Sydney shopping centre earlier this week after getting a series of shots.

Luckily, Molan landed on her side – protecting her unborn baby from any injury.

"I had another little episode this week, unfortunately," the 35-year-old said.

"I got my whooping cough and flu shot and had a little ... faint is a strong word, but a little fall in the Randwick shops."

Molan was able to joke about the incident, which was her second trip to the emergency room while pregnant. 

"I'm just filthy because I'd ordered a chocolate doughnut and a milkshake, and I kind of went [to hospital] after I'd paid but before I'd got the doughnut," she joked.

Earlier this year, Molan collapsed and hit her head after falling down because of low blood pressure at Channel 9’s Sydney studio.

"I had a little incident, which wasn't fun. I think I need to learn that my body isn't capable of what it was last year," Erin explained on the TODAY show back in February.

"I'm in great health and the baby is fine," she added.

"I hit my knees and I hit my head, but not my stomach so the baby is fine."

Nine’s Director of Sport, Tom Malone, released a statement following the first fall.

"Erin's the perfect example of Nine's business strategy in that she creates great content across all platforms for all of our content divisions - including Nine News, 20-1, 9Honey and of course The Footy Show and Wide World of Sports. Her work ethic is second to none."

"Right from the outset, we've told Erin that her health and her baby's health are the first priority and whatever precautions we need to take around that we will."
