Pregnant Gemma Atkinson hits back after she’s inundated with concerned messages about unborn son
GEMMA Atkinson has hit back after being inundated with concerned messages about her unborn son.
The former Hollyoaks star, 38, is currently expecting her second baby with professional dancer Gorka Márquez, 32.
But, taking to her Instagram Story, Gemma explained why she’s held back in sharing her pregnancy journey with fans.
She said in a video, “Not posted a lot of bump pictures cos when I do, I get inundated with messages from people being dead concerned.
“I know it comes from a lovely place but they’re like, ‘Oh my god, you’re too high, he’s not coming for ages, there’s no way the head can be down, is he definitely not breached, is he definitely ok?’
“He’s fine. The last four weeks, I’ve had checkups weekly and he’s been in the same place. His head is physically, like, you can’t get any lower without coming out.”
Gemma and Gorka, who already share three-year-old daughter Mia, are currently counting down to the arrival of their baby boy.
The pair will document their pregnancy journey with their second child in their own TV show, Gemma and Gorka: Life Behind the Lens.
The parents revealed their journey towards their second baby would be documented in a brand new UKTV show.
They said: “We’re so excited to be working with W on a project which not only takes people into our lives behind closed doors but also one that raises awareness of Vaginal Birth After Caesarean Delivery (VBAC) and an honest look into the journey of a second pregnancy after a previous traumatic birth.
“We get lots of questions from people who have experienced something similar so it will be a great way for viewers to receive information from professionals who we meet along the way.”
