It comes after the expectant mother described waiting for her bundle of joy as a ‘weird’ time as she admitted that she is ‘so sure’ that she is going into labour ‘every day’.
Taking to Instagram, she explained: ‘I feel like this is obviously such a weird time of year anyway like in “normal life” between Christmas and New Year, but obviously with 2020 it’s even weirder and then waiting for the baby to come is even weirder!
‘Like I just feel like I’m in this groundhog day, weird place. And look we’ve got all the bags by the door here, and then we’ve got like the car seat and the pillow here cos we were so sure it was happening on Boxing Day.
‘So every day we are like “it’s going to be today” and it’s not! So I’m probably being quite quiet on here but I’m just in this weird like mental place of waiting. It’s just hard to think about anything else really.’
