However, Megan has been criticised for her choices of meals – with complaints about eating sushi through to being accused of having lip fillers as her body adjusts to the pregnancy.
In her latest video, Megan was seen happily making crepes while discussing her excitement about having her baby, which should be due within the next month.
As the star spoke about babies recognising music, she joked the tot will "definitely be a Swiftie" as she's been listening to Taylor Swift's country albums.

Pregnant Megan McKenna 'struggling to walk and breath' after her baby bump drops as she prepares to give
In the video, Megan noted she was finding the third trimester "the hardest" part of her pregnancy, and admitted she was struggling to sleep with the baby moving around in her belly.
Showing off her bump by lifting her black tank top, Megan told her followers that she "never thought she'd be the person to talk to her baby as it kicked" and explained she felt "connected" to the unborn tot.
She later added in the comment: "Anyone else sitting on the end of the bed at 5am waiting for the sun to come up 😂 3rd trimester is defo the hardest..
"Even though I’m struggling with acid reflux & insomnia I feel so connected to our baby! It’s the best ever. I can’t even imagine how I’m going to feel when it’s here. Best memories coming."
The new video comes after she admitted struggling to walk and breathe after her baby bump "dropped" as the due date approaches.
Mum-to-be Megan has suffered bouts of illness during her first pregnancy.
Megan announced in April she was pregnant with her first child, after rounds of IVF treatment with fiancé Ollie in order to conceive.
However, she's been plagued with medical issues since, including being bedridden after a bad reaction to medication she was given.
Megan has also admitted her pregnancy is complicated by her severe wheat allergy, as she’s worried about what this could mean for her child.
