Alongside a photo of her huge bump, Lucy said: “Fed up.com!!!!! Word of advice for mumma’s to be DON’T expect you will be early even if everyone constantly says things to you like…
“‘You have dropped!! he won’t be much longer!’ ‘You were 6 weeks premature so he will be early.’
“‘Wow your bump is massive, he won’t go full term!’
I found the 1st trimester very challenging due to sickness & fatigue.
“I found the 1st trimester very challenging due to sickness & fatigue, but I can honestly say 38-40weeks has been a lot tougher mentally & physically! It’s this weird limbo stage.
“I’ve worked through the list of eating dates, pineapple, walking,sweeps, spicy food, raspberry leaf tea, clary sage oil baths, birthing ball.
“But we know what I mean!!! I give up and I’m just going to relax and let nature take its course as it’s so disheartening when nothing happens!! #40weekspregnant.”

Meanwhile, during a babymoon in the Algarve in September, Ryan shared a photo of himself cradling Lucy’s bump as she posed in a blue swimsuit.
He wrote: “Blue is for….?” followed by a baby with a blue dummy and a blue heart emoji.
Back in December, Lucy revealed she had gained two stone during her pregnancy and she was embracing it.
During a Q&A session on her Instagram Stories, one of Lucy’s followers – who is also pregnant – posed a probing question.
She said: “How have you found putting on extra weight during your pregnancy? I hate it. I’ve gained over two stone and accepted it’s part of the journey.”
