The star explained: "I thought I would be up for the idea of hypnobirthing. I did start a birthing course. I'm going to be honest I'm a really terrible online learner. 

"Starting the course reminded me of school and revising. I just found myself instantly sort of switching off, and that made me think I don't want hypnobirthing or I'm downright lazy. Maybe the latter option.

"Ignorance is bliss for me. I feel really positive, excited and have a feeling it's going to go OK."

Her words appeared to ruffle feathers though, with fans flocking to the comment section to share their thoughts.

One seethed: "Why don't you spend more time studying! Instead of deluding yourself that making youtube videos matter."

Another agreed, stating: "Ignorance is not bliss in labour, do your research so you can advocate for yourself."

One viewer shared their advice, writing: "Used the PBC Hypnobirthing with my first birth and definitely recommend watching the breathing videos at least  the Freya app is also a great tool for when labour starts."

The video, that has reached nearly 540K views, was also met with an outpouring of support, with one fan gushing: "Don’t feel guilty or feel like your being ‘big headed’ for admitting that you’ve had an amazing pregnancy, it’s lovely to hear, wishing you an easy and blessed birth journey."

"If anyone hates on you for having an easy pregnancy they are clowns. It's a blessing to have a happy pregnancy and to feel health especially after your endometriosis" commented another.

The Pretty Little Thing Creative Director was also recently faced with criticism after fans speculated she had been dying her hair during pregnancy.

One fan shamed the former Islander, writing: "Can't believe you've been bleaching your hair while pregnant."

Another added: "Isn't it dangerous to bleach your hair when you're pregnant?"

It comes after Molly confirmed that she and boyfriend Tommy Fury are expecting to welcome their first child at the end of January.
