Britney Spears reportedly rushed her baby son to hospital - because he was constipated.

The pop babe is said to have panicked when four-month-old Sean Preston wouldn't stop crying, and was terrified he was ill.

She called a bodyguard who drove her straight to Los Angeles' Malibu Urgent Care Centre.

But nurses at the clinic told the singer there was nothing wrong with the tot - he was just struggling to fill his nappy.

One nurse is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "It seems he was just straining to fill his diaper.

"We gave him a quick change and clean up and he was fine."

Less than half an hour later, Britney was seen sneaking out of a side door at the hospital.

She reportedly jumped over a wall into a waiting car, to avoid paparazzi, and was taken back to her plush mansion.

One of the star's assistants collected Sean from the hospital.

Last night (14.02.06), friends of the singer denied her dramatic dash was to do with the baby, insisting Britney was suffering from stomach pains.
