Love Island's Shaughna Phillips posts sweet message to unborn baby as she hits 30 weeks

Love Island star Shaughna Phillips has shared a sweet message to mark her 30-week pregnancy milestone.

The reality TV star, 28, who is expecting her first child with her mystery boyfriend, took to Instagram on Saturday to share the update as she spoke lovingly to her unborn child in the sweet message.

Posing in a checkered jumpsuit, Shaughna cradled her blossoming bump as she beamed in the mirror selfie.

Alongside the gorgeous snap of the glamourous Love Island star, Shaughna penned: "30 weeks of growing you my little darling, not long now."

Shaughna's sweet baby bump snap comes after she recently revealed that she 'feels like an ogre' after refusing to take any photos of herself on a trip to Los Angeles.

The former Love Island star, who is heavily pregnant, felt so self-conscious during her holiday that she hid away from the camera - adding that she's 'struggling to get out of this funk'.

The mother-to-be recently headed to America with her boyfriend Billy for their babymoon.

Sharing some graffiti in the street she added the caption: "I'm having an existential crisis and have not got in a single photo in LA because I legit feel like an ogre.

"Was planning on taking sooooo many pics and having so much to show you guys and it's just not worked out like that yet, hopefully I snap out of this funk. Ugh hormones + swollen feet + jet lag with a sprinkling of big belly is not a good combo lol."

Shaughna also told her 1.4million followers that her baby was in a breech position, which means she may have to have a c-section.

In her OK! column last year, the reality TV star wrote that she's become increasingly self conscious when it comes to her changing body.

"I've noticed how big my belly is now and the first thought on your mind, for me anyway, isn't, 'Oh my god, I've got a baby in my belly'. My first thought is, 'Oh my god, I'm huge'."

"But if somebody else said to me, 'I feel really big,' I would be like, 'Shut up, you're growing a human, give yourself a break'. I'm just so hard on myself. And I'm so used to being negative to myself that I do really forget," she admitted.

Shaughna also confessed that there was 'no hiding' the bump now and that she is trying to accept that she has a baby inside her tummy, but the influencer confessed that she 'doesnt' feel herself' or 'feel sexy'.

However, she did say that she feels her pregnancy is a 'blessing' and that she feels 'lucky' on a daily basis - but said that it's ok to have conflicting feelings.

Shaughna shared the news that she was expecting her first baby back in October.
