Stacey Solomon bares baby bump as she shares last pregnancy milestone in countdown to birth

Stacey Solomon looked blooming as she bared her baby bump as she counts down to the birth of her fifth child. Earlier this week, the Sort Your Life Out host joked she was 'still full' and hadn't given birth to her second daughter as each social media silence, however brief, leads fans to thinking she has welcomed her latest bundle of joy.

Stacey, 33, announced on December 28 that she and her husband Joe Swash were expecting their third child together. The couple, who already share three-year-old son Rex, and 16-month-old daughter Rose, found out about the pregnancy later than most usually would, and decided to keep it to themselves for a few extra months.

She then confirmed on December 30 alongside her first bump snap that she was in fact eight months pregnant. And in the little time she's had left before her baby's arrival, which will be a little girl, the TV star has been offering updates.

Taking to her Instagram Story on Tuesday (January 31) Stacey captioned the photo of Rose grinning for the camera at the family's dining table. She said: "Still full bump, this pickle is in no hurry [cry-laughing emoji] Been trying to bring a bit of spring into the house today… Hope you’re all ok. Lots of love from me, Rose, bump & bun bun."

The Loose Women star has since returned to the social media platform as she shared a picture of her baby bump and a cup of tea. "Hello February. Our little girl will officially be a February baby. Our little Aquarius. I love February. I think because of the start of longer days, brighter days, it's a nice short month. I feel like it's a little gateway month into spring... Happy February everyone."

Later, she then bared her blossomed baby bump to her millions of followers as she marked her last big milestone before welcoming her bundle of joy, which she has confirmed is a girl, into the world. The former X Factor star shared a sweet clip of herself in the kitchen, wearing a comfy blue tracksuit set, with her youngest kids hovering around in her bright kitchen.

Stacey said she was enjoying "spending the start of my maternity leave with these two," as she beamed for the camera before adding: "2022 was full on filming schedules so it's such a treat to be home."

She kept her blonde locks down as she revealed that her tracksuit was from her own range with Manchester fashion brand In The Style. She joked that while it's "so comfy," her top is a bodysuit and due to needing the toilet "every two minutes" she couldn't wear it properly. "And I'm boiling all the time so I've turned it into a crop top," she added with a laughing emoji.

It comes after Stacey sent her well-wishes to Molly-Mae Hague after she announced the arrival of her first child. A week after giving birth, the former Love Island star revealed that she and her boyfriend Tommy Fury had become parents to a baby girl.

The new parents shared the date her daughter was born with a smiling picture of the doting parents holding their bundle of joy while still in the hospital. The sweet black and white snap was simply captioned "23/01/23," and was quickly flooded with congratulatory messages.

After saying "congratulations", Stacey messaged to her: "Hope you’re feeling ok. Sending all the love to you in your newborn bubble." And fans were quick to reply to Stacey's message. @caron_cazzy_cooke said: "@staceysolomon your turn now can't wait to see your little girl." And @andreatansey said: "@staceysolomon your turn next lovely.. bring on another pickle."
