"'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, but I can honestly say 38-40weeks has been a lot tougher mentally & physically! It’s this weird limbo stage.

This is Lucy's first baby, but Ryan Thomas is already dad to 11-year-old Scarlett with his ex Tina O'Brien.

Update: Lucy's rep has confirmed to Heart.co.uk that Lucy hasn't yet given birth, and that her post was a tongue-in-cheek joke.
