"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."
She announced the incredible pregnancy news back February, posting the happy news to her Instagram and wrote: " 7 years of loving you, 17 months of marriage. We finally got our little miracle. Baby Gay due September 2023. We really couldn’t be any happier xxx."
Speaking to the Mirror about their baby news, Natasha said: "This is something we’ve both wanted for such a long time and we just feel blessed. It has brought more of a paternal side out in Charles towards me.
"He’s really looking after me, he’s taken over the cooking because it was making me feel bad. It feels very much like the two of us in it together, which is lovely."
