The33-year-old – who's married to West Brom footballer Erik Pieters – is currently undergoing chemotherapy.
Nermina says she will find out in December if she will need surgery, having been diagnosed with early-stage aggressive breast cancer.
She was devastated to discover she was pregnant at the same time.
Nermina told OK! Magazine: “I was pregnant when I found out I had cancer, it broke my heart we couldn’t keep the baby – nobody should ever find themselves in that unthinkable position.”
Nermina – a former showjumper – said she couldn't face leaving her two-year-old daughter Alaya to grow up without her.
