‘Baby is exactly where she needs to be!’ Pregnant Stacey Solomon is reassured after scan revealed her ‘small’ bump is nothing to worry about
Stacey Solomon has told fans she feels reassured about her baby’s health after she attended a hospital scan on Sunday.
The expectant mother-of-three took to Instagram to tell her fans: ‘Baby is exactly where she needs to be today despite my tummy size’ – which is currently measuring at 2 per cent instead of the expected 20 per cent for her gestation.
It comes as Stacey, 31, was told by her followers that her bump seems ‘small’ for how far along she is.

She uploaded a video of her ultrasound scans and pink flowers to her Stories with the caption: ‘Lots of people have said my bump is very small, and it really is measuring at 2 per cent instead of 20 per cent + but thankfully baby is exactly where she needs to be today despite my tummy size…’
The former X Factor star, who is expecting her first daughter with Joe Swash, 39, warned her well-intentioned followers: ‘Every pregnancy, every bump and every baby is different.’
‘And as kind as people are I think sometimes it’s important to remember when telling someone they look “big” or “small” or anything in between it can be so worrying for the mummy growing a human and worrying why they look so different to someone else.’

‘And can be really scary…’
She continued: ‘I know people don’t mean any harm by saying “you’re so petite and tiny” but it definitely has played on my mind a lot and made me worry I wasn’t growing properly…’
Stacey also apologised to her followers for not being very active on the social media platform, posting a sweet photo of her bump with her hand resting on top.

Her story read: ‘Good morning Sorry I’ve been so quiet we’ve spent the weekend checking in on princess pickle…’
‘All is ok’, she continued. ‘
And we got to see her this morning to double check everything…’
‘Feeling so grateful that she’s happy, comfy and safe in there Hope you’re all ok… Happy Sunday’.
She spent the weekend preparing a very pink and flowery nursery with Joe and her youngest son Rex, two.
Earlier this week, the Loose Women star revealed that she won’t be returning to the show until after Christmas and will be taking a lengthy maternity leave as she gears up to welcome a baby girl with her fiancé.
Speaking during Friday’s show – when fellow panellists Nadia Sawalha, Kaye Adams and Linda Robson threw her a baby shower live on air – the soon-to-be mother-of-four was asked by Linda, 63: ‘How long are you gonna be off for? Just wondering when you’re coming back.’

Stacey replied: ‘I’ll probably come back after Christmas I reckon. I’ve never had a proper maternity leave.’
The former X Factor star, who is expecting her first daughter with Joe, 39, did promise her castmates that she would make sure to bring her little girl into the studio beforehand.
When asked by Linda: ‘You’ve got to come back before with the baby,’ Stacey replied: ‘Oh god as soon as she’s born.’

Kaye, 58, then added: ‘It will be nice for you to have a period of time where you can just concentrate on the family.’
During the impromptu baby shower, Stacey was presented with a variety of gifts and snacks – including her go-to pregnancy craving, raw cauliflower with mango chutney, mayonnaise and curry powder – and donned both a sash and tiara.
Stacey also explained that she is ‘mindful’ of every moment in her fourth pregnancy as it’s likely this will be the ‘last time’ she has a child.

Stacey and Joe – who have been together since 2015 and became engaged on Christmas Eve – are set to tie the knot next July after postponing their wedding due to the pandemic.
She and Joe share two-year-old son Rex, while Stacey also has Zachary, 13, and nine-year-old Leighton from previous relationships.
Elsewhere, Stacey has been putting her DIY skills to the test since moving into her new dream home with her blossoming family, and on Wednesday gave fans a peek of her unborn daughter’s new nursery.
Emotional, Stacey wrote: ‘I could honestly cry, it’s such lovely flooring. And just makes it feel so much bigger and cleaner in here… I went for a white herringbone laminate so I can mop it and keep it nice and clean in here. I just love it.’
