Molly-Mae Hague has opened up on a health condition that she is experiencing meaning that she can't feel her unborn baby kicking.
Taking to Instagram the former Love Island star shared a number of scan pictures. She explained that she had been feeling "disheartened" as she hadn't been able to feel her unborn daughter moving about and kicking much.
However, after visiting the hospital where she got to see the little one moving about on the screen, Molly-Mae explained that she felt "reassured" after discovering the reason for lack of movement. She said that she has been told that she has an anterior placenta.

The reality TV star wrote: "So I actually have an anterior placenta. I have been getting quite disheartened at how little I've been able to feel her move...
"Especially when I can feel her and Tommy can't when he touches my belly. So it's really reassuring to know it's because my placenta is literally a huge sponge between me and baby that's absorbing all her movements and preventing me from really feeling it."
She added: "Think it'll be a while yet until we see her little legs kicking through or Tommy feels her but I'm keeping my fingers crossed." She ended the post with a love heart emoji and labelled the placenta on the scan so that her fans could see how close to the baby it was.
In a second post, she went on to add that she "isn't bothered" about people finding out the due date. Molly-Mae said: "It's really not a big taboo secret. It's just not something I wanted to outright say myself because who knows when she'll actually arrive."
