Stacey Solomon’s attempts to induce labour through extreme measures have caused widespread laughter and chaos in her family.
Stacey is due to give birth to her third child with husband Joe Swash, 41, any day now. The former X Factor singer is 33 years old.
In addition to their son Rex, born in May 2019, they also have a daughter named Rose, who was born in October 2021, on Stacey’s 32nd birthday.
Stacey and Joe have a mixed family as well, with Stacey’s kids Zach, 14, and Leighton, 10, from past relationships with Dean Cox and Aaron Barnham, and Joe’s son Harry, 14, from his previous relationship with ex-fiancee Emma Sophocleous.
Moreover, the Loose Women panellist is eager to get things moving forward because she is expecting her fifth child.
The celebrity has been quite open with her fans during her pregnancy, good times and bad, and has now revealed the position she’s attempting to encourage baby to go into.
Stacey shared a photo of herself crouching in her kitchen, wearing comfy pyjamas, with her hair in a messy bun, and a grin on her face.
She tweeted to her 5.5 million followers, “Happy Friday from me squatting at every opportunity just to try and let gravity do some of the job before labour comes in.”
‘Did anyone else do this at the end?’, she asked. ‘Or am I just a weirdo?’
She then wrote, “Joe thinks it’s funny,” with a crying laughing emoji, to convey Joe’s opinion on the matter.
Later, the expecting mother got up from the floor and posted a video to her Instagram Story in which she films her enormous baby bulge in the mirror.
‘Thought I’d come on and say hello,’ she began. ‘Still cooking, still going!’
Stacey said, “I just expected she’d be here by now because the more you have, the more they sort of, slip and slide out.” This was based on the fact that Rex and Rose were a little bit early. That’s what I assumed, at least!
But,”‘ Stacey giggled: “that’s not the case.”
‘She’s very comfy and cosy in there and I’m quite enjoying it actually, because I feel like this pregnancy has been shorter, so it’s nice to keep going and tie up all my loose ends.’
They kept Rose’s impending big sisterhood a secret for much of her pregnancy, with Stacey learning the news only after the fact.
To announce the arrival of their second daughter, Stacey posted a photo of her youngest (for now) daughter resting on her pregnant abdomen.
She captioned the sweet pics: ‘🐻 When Rose Found Out She’s Going To Have A… Sister 🐻😭 So excited to share with you that we are going to be saying hello to another darling daughter soon. Sisters 😭 The boys are so excited. And the thought of Rose having a little sister as well as all of her amazing big brothers has filled Our hearts 🖤
‘I have the most incredible sisters in the world. They are my everything. I’m so excited for the boys, Rose and our newest little girl…’
