Stacey Solomon baffles fans as she says she didn't know about pregnancy for 8 months

Loose Women's Stacey Solomon left fans baffled as she claimed she didn’t know she was pregnant with her fifth child until she was eight months pregnant.

Last week, the 33-year-old announced to fans she was expecting with her husband Joe Swash. This will be Stacey’s fifth child, and third with Joe.

After leaving fans confused the Loose Women star had to confirm that the couple didn’t just find out they were expecting at eight months pregnant, however the couple were very late to find out, reports The Mirror.

Following a fan who said they were confused on how the couple didn’t notice Stacey’s growing belly, Stacey clarified that after ‘finding out late’, the pair decided to wait the first few months of the pregnancy so they ‘had it to ourselves’.

She said: "I must be saying it wrong. I mean, we didn't just find out three days ago when I looked down and was like 'oh, that's not my usual evening bloat. What's going on?'

"But when we did find out it was past the point people would usually tell people."

Stacey also admitted that both her and Joe are incredibly ‘unprepared’ for baby number five - no baby names and no nursery ready for their baby. She revealed that Joe is wanting to go with a traditional name. Stacey said: "We've got no names. Like literally, nothing. We've had so many kids we've ran out of names."

The Loose Women star also shared that Joe prefers ‘really old’ names such as Betty or Arthur, compared to Stacey who leans towards floral or Hebrew names. Stacey and Joe are already proud parents to Rex, 3, and Rose, 1, while she also has Zach, 14, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships.

When the couple announced the pregnancy, Stacey revealed the due date for her fifth baby is this month.

She told her Instagram followers: "Coming soon… Much sooner than we thought When we found out we still wanted to have that first few months you usually would to adjust and get excited and enjoy it to ourselves, but that didn’t leave us with very long left. So this time next month, we will be getting ready to say hello to a whole new pickle. So grateful."
