The Whole Again singer told her 148,000 followers that she was facing a "challenge" as she'd been woken up at 4am by her baby and the Braxton Hicks contractions that she described as making her breathless.
The NHS say it and can sometimes feel like "extreme period pains" and can last up to 60 seconds. Natasha detailed her experience as she told her followers last month: "Well today was a bit of a challenge. Woke at 4am too really intense Braxton Hicks that took my breath away and nearly made me pee.
"The heat really got to me after my PT class and some running round so needed an afternoon nap and had another BH that was really intense. Although I'm 14 weeks away from my due date, my body is definitely preparing for labour already."
