Molly-Mae Hague has shared how she scared her boyfriend Tommy Fury after experiencing painful pregnancy symptoms. The mum-to-be has been opening up to fans after taking part in a Q&A about her third trimester.
Molly-Mae and Tommy, both 23, are just a few weeks away from welcoming their first child into the world. The impending arrival of their bundle of joy comes less than four years after the pair met and fell in love on Love Island in 2019. The couple delighted fans back in September when they announced they were expecting and again weeks later when they revealed they were having a baby girl.
Social media influencer Molly-Mae has since been documenting her pregnancy and as she nears the end of it, she decided to have a catch-up with her legions of followers.

During the chat, in a vlog on her YouTube channel, Molly-Mae was asked if she had been experiencing leg cramps. And it turns out the Pretty Little Thing creative director gave her other half a 'heart attack' as she suffered from the pregnancy side effect. "I literally cant explain how badly I've been getting cramp in my calves," she said.
"I got cramp so badly the other night in bed that I am still limping now because of the pain it put me in. My calf three days later from having a cramp in my leg, I physically can't walk properly. I was walking through the Trafford Centre yesterday and I literally had a pirate limp, I was walking literally like my leg was fully broken.
"The cramps, I never knew that was a pregnancy symptom, I had no idea about it. But I can confirm that the cramp experience has been like no pain that I've ever, ever, ever experienced!" She then detailed her latest flare-up which left her screaming in the night, leaving Tommy to think the baby was coming early.
"The scariest part about it is that it can happen at like three in the morning," she said. "The other night when it happened it was like four in the morning and I don't wake Tommy up for anything, I've been really unwell in the night before, I never wake him up because I always feel so bad...
"But the minute this cramp set in my leg, I literally launched onto Tommy, the poor boy had a literally heart attack! I was like 'babe, babe, my leg,' and he was like 'it's alright, it's alright', he was so startled. I think he must've thought that I was going into labour." She continued: "But the pain was that horrendous, I couldn't not hold onto him and scream. It lasted for probably like two minutes, I've never experienced anything like it. It's not like a normal cramp at all, nothing like a normal cramp."
During the same video, Molly-Mae showed off her baby bump and her stretch marks which she says she 'stupidly' thought she wouldn't get. "I stupidly had thought that I wasn't going to get stretch marks," Molly-Mae told the camera. "I don't know why. I've always been blessed with quite good skin on my body, aside from the fact I did suffer with a bit of eczema."
She added: "I thought I might get a couple but I won't get loads and I was really wrong. I've gotten a serious amount of stretch marks, mainly on my boobs. My boobs are unrecognisable, I'll be completely honest with you," before showing her stomach t o point out where she sees stretch marks.
But she then urged her fellow mums-to-be "not worry about stretch marks." She shared: "Please don't beat yourself up about it and think maybe I should be buying [this and that], I personally think that nothing is going to stop it."
