“And when we were trying to have this baby, it wasn’t the process we thought it would be, so we were just so grateful to even get pregnant.’

“I don’t want to push it any more. This is enough,” she insisted.

As she opened up to 5.4million Instagram fans in a candid Q&A about her pregnancy, Stacey revealed she’d been completely surprised and learned she was pregnant at her July wedding.

The mum said she was ‘a lot further along’ with her baby than when ‘you usually tell people’ when she found out the news.

“I must have missed periods at the beginning, but I was breastfeeding Rose and when I stopped breastfeeding my periods were a bit all over the place anyway,” she explained. “So it didn’t even cross my mind because I just thought they’ll eventually go back to normal, but they never did.”

She went on: “We really wanted it to ourselves for the beginning bit, but we missed the beginning bit if that makes sense. We didn’t have to keep it a secret for 8 months because we didn’t know for 8 months.

“My periods were irregular from breastfeeding, we were planning a wedding then getting married, and then just crazy life and it honestly didn’t register.”
