Pregnant Love Island star Amy Hart admits feeling ‘deflated’ after 20-week scan
LOVE Island's Amy Hart has confessed to feeling "deflated" after seeing her unborn baby at her 20-week scan.
The pregnant star was thrilled to get another look at her firstborn during the hospital appointment but admits she is now ready to hold her bundle in her arms.
Amy, 30, told fans she is desperate for time to speed up after realising she is just halfway through her pregnancy.
Sharing her latest scan pictures on Instagram, Amy wrote: "20 weeks of growing a human!! 👶🏼
"I’ll be honest (as I always strive to be..) as much as this mornings scan was amazing, we saw so much (but covered our eyes at the right times so we didn’t see the gender!), I feel a little bit deflated this evening…but for all the right reasons!
"This last week I’ve been so so excited, the most excited I’ve been the whole time but I feel like I’ve been pregnant for aaaaggeess now and I’ve got to do the whole thing again and I just wanna have the baby here nowwww!!! (Veruca Salt vibes ✌🏻)."

She went on: "I’ve just booked our NCT course, hypnobirthing and paediatric first aid courses so hopefully that’ll make some time go faster!!
"Has anyone else felt like this or am I an ungrateful weirdo?!"
Amy, who found fame on the 2019 series of Love Island, has been met with a mixture of responses after sharing her truthful thoughts.
One fan told her: "20 weeks to birth is a little underwhelming. Nothing much happens (hopefully) apart from you expand, you get heartburn and sleeping slowly dwindles away. The initial excitement of scans etc goes and now you are just waiting for the birth. Felt the exact same thing myself, twice."

Amy replied: "Luckily I’ve got 2 holidays and Xmas so hopefully that will perk me up!"
Another wrote: "Not at all ungrateful or selfish….. everyone is different. If I’m honest I really didn’t enjoy being pregnant!! Now I sound selfish!! But the end result is the best ever feeling in the world. Big hugs you are doing AMAZING."
However, some of Amy's followers were quick to warn her to enjoy the rest of her pregnancy.
"It will go by so quickly! Enjoy the last months of being a couple and the build-up. It's such a special time that you won't get back," one penned.
Another said: ";There’s no harm in wanting to meet your baby and being excited but enjoy your pregnant time, it’s a magical experience."
And a third even commented: "I can speak for most mums of premature babies when I say we would have given anything to have been pregnant for as long as possible."
In August, Amy revealed that she had fallen pregnant naturally after worrying about struggling to conceive and freezing her eggs.
STAYING HONEST
The Love Island star told Loose Women she was around "14 weeks" pregnant, as she appeared on the show in a figure-hugging blue dress.
She is expecting her baby with her boyfriend Sam Rason and has been keeping fans updated every step of the way.
Last month, Amy admitted she had rushed home early from a holiday after experiencing a scare.
The star had begun to bleed and had to race home for an injection after discovering she is in the rhesus negative blood group.
Amy has also been forced to hit back at 'mum-shamers', after they claimed she is fibbing about being "chilled" despite following "every rule in the book.
She said: "I have a very overactive imagination. I have an amazing long term memory, but that's why I have to try and do everything by the book.
if anything did happen I know that although it wouldn't have been because I'd done something that you're not supposed to do like once in the space of nine months - that would be all that I would think about and I'd know exactly when I did it and I just wouldn't sleep for months.
“So that's why I have to try and be as by the book as I can."

Amy added: "So the reason that I'm quite chilled at the moment because I know I'm pregnant. I know that I'm having a baby in March. I've seen scans, I've seen them move the baby around, I've seen the heartbeat, I've got the pictures.
"The last thing to compute is that thing on the picture isn't being delivered by Amazon, it's in my stomach."
