Heavily pregnant Lucy Mecklenburgh hints at sleep struggles as due date approaches

She's waking up at the crack of dawn

Lucy Mecklenburgh is due to give birth to her first child in just a few weeks, and today she gave her fans a glimpse into the life of a heavily pregnant mum-to-be.

The former TOWIE star, 28, and her partner, former Corrie actor Ryan Thomas, 35, are expecting a baby boy in March.

And judging by the two Instagram posts Lucy shared this morning, she was awake VERY early going over some last-minute preparations in her head.

The first post that she shared with her 1.6 million followers simply said: “0457… Yep my usual time for cereal.”

Being heavily pregnant can’t be very comfortable – so it’s no wonder that mums-to-be don’t get much sleep.

But Lucy then suggested that there was another reason for her insomnia – she has a lot going through her mind.

Less than half an hour after, she posted another message saying: “And lists for my lists!!
