Pregnant Lauren Goodger shows off her growing baby bump as she counts down to giving birth to first baby

LAUREN Goodger looked a gem in a two-tone turquoise bodycon as she showed off her growing baby bump.

The former TOWIE star is expecting her first baby with boyfriend Charles Drury, and initially kept her pregnancy curves hidden.

Yet Lauren, 34, is now proudly revealing her changing figure, stepping out in the knee-length figure-hugging garment to run errands.

Making sure she was comfortable, she added a pair of black fluffy sliders to pad around in.

Yet in typical style, Lauren ensured her hair was perfectly blow-dried and make-up on-point for her al-fresco adventures.

She placed a tender hand on her belly and clutched her handbag as she took extra care crossing the street.

In January 2021, Lauren told how she was three months pregnant, with the reality star due to give birth to a baby girl in July 2021.

In 2017, the Celebs Go Dating star bravely opened up about her and her former boyfriend Jake McLean's heartbreaking 2013 miscarriage while she was competing on Dancing On Ice.

She told Channel 5's In Therapy at the time: "I was on a TV show that was quite intense and I had to try and perform when I was quite far gone - it didn't last."

Earlier this month, the expectant mum suffered another scare when she believed her unborn baby had stopped moving.

She was so terrified and anxious about the health of her unborn child that her heart rate shot up.

She rushed to hospital and thankfully her baby was fine - but the combination of her racing blood pressure and hormones caused her to panic.

Lauren exclusively told The Sun Online that anything to do with her heart sparks her anxiety.

As a result, she immediately convinced herself she was going to have a fatal heart attack.

"My anxiety is my heart so that was a trigger for me," Lauren said.

Thankfully, she got the all-clear from medics.

Meanwhile, Lauren announced her big baby news on January 18, 2021.

She admitted that her 23-year-old toyboy Charles Drury didn't believe her when she first told him she'd had a positive pregnancy test.

Telling all on the moment that she found out she is expecting, Lauren shared: "I was in bed not well with a cold and I was meant to come on that day and I’m always quite regular.

"We went and bought a test from a bargain shop and I did it - I couldn’t believe it! I rang him and he was like: 'You’re lying, you’re joking.'

"He didn’t believe the test! I did a digital one as well and he walked around with it in his bag for about three days."
