Molly-Mae's midwife in disbelief as pregnant star shares how much weight she's gained

Molly-Mae Hague has jokingly revealed her midwife was left 'shocked' when the pregnant Love Island star shared how much weight she has gained in her pregnancy journey so far.

The former Love Island star, 23, who is expecting her first child with longterm boyfriend, Tommy Fury, also 23, opened up about her pregnancy journey in her latest YouTube video as she discussed her struggles with body image ahead of the birth of her first child.

YouTube sensation Molly, who revealed in her video that she is already six months pregnant, said that the main symptom of her pregnancy has been hunger - and the expectant mum hasn't been able to stop herself from eating everything that she craves.

As a result, Molly revealed that she had already gained a stone within the first 13-weeks of her pregnancy - an admission which left her midwife rather shocked.

"Throughout my pregnancy so far I have been beyond lucky. I've had literally no morning sickness or sickness at all - literally nothing," Molly told her subscribers in her latest video.

"Literally, all I've had to do is cure my little sickness moments has been to eat, which has meant that I've already gained a stone - but we don't care guys. I've already told my midwife how much weight I had put on already and she was like 'that's not normal'.

"But the hunger has definitely been my main symptom. And my biggest challenge has definitely been mentally."

Molly went to to explain that throughout her pregnancy journey, she has found it increasingly difficult to feel body confident as her body continues to change and as her bump grows bigger every week.

"I am really really struggling with my body at the minute and I knew this would happen. I knew that this was going to be the thing I struggled with the most out of this whole entire journey,' she explained.

"I've always struggled with my body image. I've always been quite conscious of my body - I don't tend to show off too much skin. I don't like Summer and Spring because I don't like revealing my body. I knew this part of the journey, and watching my body change so much already would be so hard.

"I know it's a blessing and it's amazing and it's meant to be changing but it has been hard."

During her video, Molly revealed that she is now 21 weeks pregnant as she talked about her due date.

"When I announce, I'm going to have three months left. Three months. I'm not going to be giving specific dates, I'm going to keep those to myself," she told.

Molly-Mae said the most popular question surrounding her pregnancy is her due date - but said she is in no hurry to reveal it.

She said: "It's just not something I'm going to share. From around my videos you guys are definitely going to work out around the time my baby is due. I feel like sharing dates and stuff, anything can happen."
