Pregnant Megan McKenna shares pictures of bare baby bump as she reaches exciting milestone
PREGNANT Megan McKenna has shared some pictures of her bare baby bump after reaching an exciting milestone.
Megan, 31, announced she and her footballer fiancé Oliver Burke, 27, were expecting their first child together last month.
And taking to Instagram yesterday, she flaunted her growing tummy in a black-and-white bikini while on holiday with her partner.
The reality star looked incredible while lounging by the pool, wearing a straw sunhat and sunglasses.
In her caption, she gave fans an update with her pregnancy journey.
Megan wrote: “Woke up this morning feeling extra pregnant. Our baby’s the size of a bunch of grapes now.
“Also I’ve started to feel little flicks inside my belly the past week… that’s the only way I can explain it. How exciting.”
Megan recently opened up about a horror health ordeal which saw her rushed to hospital because her tongue had doubled in size.
We reported the TOWIE alum’s “really scary” experience last week after she had a “painful abscess” and suffered the second allergic reaction in two weeks.
Megan wrote on social media: “I woke up in the morning and my tongue was double the size.
“My neck and my throat was swollen and it was affecting me swallowing an everything. It was really scary.”
Megan then told how she went to an emergency dentist for the abscess, and was prescribed painkillers.
She admitted: “As soon as I started to take it I felt so weird the swelling got worse and I was being sick.
“Yesterday they told me to call 999 if my swelling got worse, obviously, because it can stop you breathing because it’s in your throat.”
Megan advised her fans she was in the danger zone for a secondary reaction to the pills and, as such, was admitted to hospital.
The Odds singer continued: “Now it’s all about trying to get better, it’s just so bad.
“Just being pregnant has made my body so much more sensitive, I am allergic to everything.
“I’ve been in so much pain. I’ve been on codeine and paracetamol and when I say that the codeine just takes the edge off, I have still been in pain.
“Honestly, it’s the worst thing ever, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.”
She then told fans she was living off a diet of chopped up and baby food, to make sure she is keeping up with her nutrient intake.
As the Celebrity X Factor winner closed off her video, she said: “It is nowhere near how bad it was yesterday.
“It was so bad but thank you for all the kind messages worrying about me.
“I am just praying, praying, praying over the next 24 hours I get better.”
In her post earlier in the week, the Ex On The Beach star was quick to thank staff at Birmingham City Hospital.
Back in April, Megan made her baby reveal alongside a cute video in which she wrote: “A little bit of you and a little bit of me… now we’re a family.”
Megan and Oliver got engaged weeks after making their red carpet debut as a couple.
Her baby-daddy got down on one knee on June 14 2023 after just five months of dating.
