Looking radiant in next to no make up and just a tiny crop top and comfy jogging bottoms, the model smiled happily for the camera as she rested her arm on her blossoming tummy.
DJ Lauren wrote next to the beautiful photo: “Bump watch…Not quite how I imagined pregnancy would be but isolation isn’t so bad, at least I will be well rested by the time baby arrives!
“Keeping me sane is all the amazing women over on the Facebook group I’ve set up called 👉🏼 The Mum Space.
“It’s basically a safe space for any mums or mums to be during lockdown to be able to chat to each other, ask Q’s, talk about our anxieties & vent if we want to!”
