The hospital appointment comes after Lauren showed off her growing stomach on Thursday and said her bump is ‘quite high-up’ and ’round’. 

She said to her 778k Instagram followers: ‘I feel like my bump is now levelling out with my body. It’s quite a high-up, round bump I’d say. I am still in my dressing gown, quite tired today’. 

The reality star proceeded to ask her fans to send her pregnancy questions for a Q&A session before reflecting on the pros and cons of expecting a child during lockdown.

Lauren continued: ‘A bit of a funny time, of lockdown and Covid, being pregnant, but also, what an amazing time to be pregnant because there’s nothing… you can’t do anything. So you’re embracing all of your pregnancy.’ (sic).

Just last month, Lauren admitted that she found the first three months of her pregnancy ‘quite difficult’ due to sickness and nausea. 

During an Instagram Q&A, she answered questions about her journey into motherhood, including her baby’s name, a gender reveal and plans for labour.

She also responded to criticism regarding her decision to share her private life online, as she teased a potential return to reality TV. 

Lauren said: ‘[I] Found it quite difficult for the first three months. It’s just over as well and it’s just starting to get better so yeah, just tired still, but not the sickness.’

Later on, she elaborated on her feelings of nausea: ‘I felt very, very sick but wasn’t actually sick all the time. I have been sick a few times, or just had the feeling, I would rather have been sick because it’s a mental release.’

Lauren confirmed her relationship with Charles last year and moved him into her Essex pad, just three weeks after dating.
