❤️ Isla is going to be a big sister! ❤️@davidcomahony and I are over the moon to finally share our exciting news. Pick up a copy of OK! or click the link in my stories to see all the gorgeous pictures from our family shoot and read all about my pregnancy so far. ❤️ Thank you @ok_mag and your lovely team for making this shoot such a special family day for us. We had so much fun and Isla is still talking about it!! Special thanks to you all for being so kind and considerate where her allergies are concerned too. She was free to play and have fun with everyone and I LOVED every moment of feeling pampered! ❤️🤰🏼😘📸
Got in a bit of a photo hole last night and found this old calender shot from when I was Miss December! I was never actually hugely comfortable doing these shoots and always battled to wear a swimsuit instead of a bikini… I would have worn a ski suit if they’d let me 😂 I think part of it was that these things didn’t feel terribly optional, it was very much part of being on the show I was on. I also never felt in ‘good enough’ shape… I kinda wish my 40 year old self could go back and have a little word with my 20 something year old self about that! On the flip side, looking back… we had a real laugh on this trip, i actually really like this shot as there is a confidence about it and it’s nice to be reminded and reflect on this season of my life ❤️ #naughties
Me and bump. There are some amazing women doing so much for postpartum body positivity. I have pretty substanstial diastasis recti from my previous pregnancy and two umblical hernias that have well and truly ‘popped’ as well as my bump! I’m not quite ready to reveal all of that for the world to see but I love my bump and I also wanted to give a big shout out to @hotmilklingerie who kindly gifted me this maternity/nursing bra. I bought loads of their bras when I was carrying Isla and lived in them through my breastfeeding journey which only ended when I was three months preggo with this one!! I love that they allow me to celebrate all the parts of me… the parts that are mothering, growing and sustaining life… and the part that is a sexy 40 year old woman. Thanks @hotmilklingerie ❤️#pregnancy #secondtrimester #breastfeeding #maternity #underwear
Packing a 26 week old kick boxer! There is no corner of the flat for a bump shot without utter domestic mayhem 🤣 So in the spirit of ‘come as you are’ … I’m casually leaning on my washing. #26weeks #bump #pregnant #secondtrimester #keepingitclassy
25 weeks this week 🤰🏼Welcoming in all the warm loveliness of little kicks and somersaults and loving every moment of feeling connected to this new little bundle 💖… and also… hello reflux, gestational diabetes and SPD my old friends. Ahhhh all part of the rich tapestry…
Thank you so much @actionforchildrenuk @lielle_mua @chris88hair @bellepr_ for such a special morning ❤️
London in the sunshine this morning ❤️☀️🌈
We had the most magical day yesterday with my dear friend @carleystenson1 and little Skye. Isla went on the beach and dipped her toes in the sea for the first time and she loved it!! Magic!! 💫🌊💖. Carley thank you for the most beautiful day and for all the care you took with Isla’s allergies. You are a black belt friend! You made us feel so safe and so very, very welcome. When a friend ‘gets it’ like you do it makes such a huge difference and means Isla can play freely and I can breathe a little easier knowing that another adult also has eyes in the back of their head! I hope this is the beginning of many adventures to come!! Love you loads 💖💖💖💖💖

Six years of us next month @davidcomahony ❤️
We love Little Baby Bum and are very excited to share that they have relaunched!! Isla learns so much from her favourite characters and as parents, the fun, catchy songs open a dialogue for us to discuss and sing along to anything from potty training to learning to get dressed! I find that music and singing really helps ease Isla through tricky transitions and gives us ideas for new ways to educate through fun and play… for that reason, Little Baby Bum has become a key part of our daily routine. Join in the Halloween fun with Little Baby Bum on You Tube!

The first reel we made during lockdown. At the time, my baby hadn’t met any other babies!! The West-End was closed. 🙉 It was a hard time but we found ways to find the fun! You could take @davidcomahony out of musical theatre but….. 🕺🏻🪩🎭
Ali Bastian shares her allergy story with us. Ali came across our haircare when searching for products that would help to reduce the chances of irritation for her daughter Ilsa. Now the whole family uses them. 💙
