The Simple Life star, who announced last week that she is four-months pregnant, is said to have sought medical advice when she began to bleed excessively.
Doctors reportedly assured Richie that her baby was safe, but advised her to eat more to ensure that her unborn child receives adequate nutrition.
A source told Star: "Nicole was bleeding so much - it was really scary for her. They found out she's suffering from both a hormonal and nutritional deficiency."
