Earlier this month, Millie said while she was uploading ‘smiling bump photos’, behind-the-scenes she was dealing with a leaky bladder, Carpel Tunnel Syndrome and sugary cravings.
Millie wrote: ‘As I come close to the end of my pregnancy, (it feels like I’ve been pregnant forever) I’m aware I’ve been posting lots of smiling bump photos but I wanted to be honest about my experience in recent weeks.
‘Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of beauty surrounding growing a human, it feels like a miracle.
‘A miracle that comes with a side portion of crazy old symptoms, soaring hormone levels and physical and emotional challenges.’
Oh, baby! Millie wore the same grey sports bra and black lycra shorts from her one month bump to take a photo of herself at nine months pregnant
Millie captioned the photo: ‘The female body is amazing, still can’t get my head around the fact that there is a baby human in there’

Millie announced she was expecting a baby girl with husband Hugo Taylor, 33, last November.
At the time, the television personality told Hello!: ‘I’m so excited it’s a girl. I would’ve been delighted with either, but when I found out we were having a girl, I suddenly realised this is what I really wanted.’
Millie and Hugo tied the knot in June 2018 at Hugo’s uncle’s country estate Whithurst Park, in West Sussex, one year after he proposed during a holiday to the Greek island of Mykonos.

The couple briefly dated during their Made In Chelsea days back in 2011 and reunited in May 2016 shortly after Millie’s split from her first husband, rapper Professor Green, 35.
Millie was married to the musician, real name Stephen Manderson, for two-and-a-half years before they announced their split in February 2016.
The former couple finalised their divorce in May 2016, the same week Millie and Hugo went public with their rekindled romance.
