The last meet up before the first of two babies arrives 🥹
How lovely that our little ones will all grow up together, and clearly get their dance moves from the best dancer of the group, ME. 🤟🏼😂

Last nights British Soap Awards! What an honour it was to be asked to present the outstanding achievement award to my lovely friend Mark Charnock. Such a deserving winner. The soaps were always a night I looked forward to when I worked on Hollyoaks & Emmerdale, a chance for everyone to party together. Back in the day one of the last to leave the afterparty to last night not even attending the afterparty because my feet, legs, lower back and vagina were all aching 🤦🏼♀️😂
However, for the show itself I felt like a pregnant princess in my dress.

Happy Father’s Day!
Your last one as just a girl dad 🥰
They say a dad is his sons first hero and his daughters first love.
It’s definitely the case so far for you and Mia. Enjoy your day @gorka_marquez and thanks for looking after us all ❤️

Saturday stroll for Fro Yo! 🤟🏼
Genuinely though!
Wtf is that about? 😂
Grandparents care to explain??? 🤔😂
2 more sleeps and he’s home for a full 10 weeks!
(Can you tell they both like cooking shows?) 👨🍳😂
This was in Tenerife and it was a show Gorks used to watch as a kid. He was chuffed it was on and after telling Mia all about it she took it upon herself to sit and watch too. She loved it! I sent this video to his mum at the time and she said it made her emotional as she used to sit and do the same thing when Gorka was that age and a reason why he loves to cook so much now. A reminder of how quickly time passes I guess 🥹❤️ @gorka_marquez
When Mia was a baby 🥹
My DMs are flooded at the min with questions about if im nervous for birth this time around after what happened last time. Because lots of 2nd time mums to be had a similar experience. For those that don’t know, with Mia, my waters broke on the 2nd and I ended up needing an emergency C section on the 4th which 2hrs later resulted in a big postpartum hemorrhage.
Not exactly what we had in mind but from speaking openly about it I’ve met SO many couples who went through the same. It’s more common than I thought!
I’d by lying if I said it hadn’t crossed my mind that at almost 38wks I’ll be very soon bringing my little man into the world, BUT, I’m so much more calm and in tune with it all this time around. I know every pregnancy is different. From only 2wks pregnant I felt different this time. Carrying Mia was a breeze in comparison to this little dude. I’m far from an expert but what I’m telling myself this time is below, it may help some of you ❤️
1. My body & my mind are capable and I have full trust in them.
2. Rather than contractions, I’ll be calling them surges. And each surge is a step closer to meeting my baby and a step closer to beginning my journey to feeling myself in my body again.
3. The surges will last up to a min at a time. And I can do anything for a minute! 💪🏼
4. I’m trusting the process & on the day I will do whatever is safest for me and little man.
5. Should it go the same way as last time, it’s not my first rodeo and despite 2 days of worry & confusion, I’ve had almost 4 years of beautiful Mia. Her birth was a success 🥰
6. Any which way a woman chooses to give birth or is told a certain way is safest to give birth is a superhero. Growing & birthing a baby is a trauma on our bodies. Even if it all goes “smoothly” there’s still a recovery process both mentally & physically.
lastly, and this may be a tad woo woo for some 😂 But I believe little man’s birth date, plan and time has already been decided in the spiritual realm anyway. The physical side, the portal is me. But my Ángels & guides know how and when he’s arriving, and I feel comfort with them around me 💫💫
Last show on @packedlunchc4 before little man arrives! Thought it apt to share todays pic (I brought a lovely white top for the show but got my foundation all over it so scruffy black tee shirt it was) 🤦🏼♀️
swipe to see the first time Mia saw me on the show 2 years ago 🥹
She was so chuffed! Now, she couldn’t care less 😂
Love being part of the team. @stephlunch and the whole crew are wonderful. Looking forward to watching on the couch for the next few months likely covered in sick & poo and I’ll be back after Mat leave 🙌🏼

Final show for @gorka_marquez and the gang today! 👏🏼👏🏼
I’m SO proud of him!
If you’ve been lucky enough to see the show you’ll know how physically demanding it is on the pros to perform like they do. Sometimes twice a day. Mentally it’s just as tough learning the choreography, rehabbing and fuelling. Dancers really are athletes & from me struggling weekly to learn just one 3 min dance each Saturday for Strictly, I take my hat off to them 😂
Very much looking forward to some downtime with Gorks (although I’m busy work wise these next two weeks) but then it calms down a bit and then it’s just a waiting game for as and when little man is ready 👶
I was reading about how clever our bodies are in that once everything is relaxed as in jobs, work, stress levels etc… it knows it can go into labour. I know for some it’s not the case but I’m hoping for me it is. This time I’m confident in my body and it’s capabilities. I trust it. And I’m going along with it. If after everything it went through last time and STILL got Mia and myself through it. I know it can do it all again as and when it needs 🙏
The British Soap Awards 🇬🇧❤️
How lovely to be back presenting an award to @markcharnock
I’ll not tell you what he called us backstage for keeping it a secret from him 😂😜
As promised my chat with the lovely kat from @hatch_athletic Kats a Women’s health physio and a pre and postpartum functional fitness coach. A fountain of knowledge and hopefully any mums to be or mums already looking for help with pelvic floor rehab, ab separation, incontinence or just confidence in general, she’s there to help 🙌🏼
Thanks for tuning in ❤️ 🤰
