Michelle, who usually keeps fans well-updated on social media, has shared far fewer Instagram posts recently as she navigates the first few months of the pregnancy.
The brunette bombshell, who has recently been alcohol-free, admitted that she prefers nesting at home in favour of being out and about.
Once a fan of late-night dinners in the early days of their romance, the star explained that she now favours an early night.
She said: “I am happy to have a night on the sofa with our dogs watching TV and relaxing, but we do still like getting dressed up and go out for dinner.”

The pregnant actress - who told fans over Christmas that she 'couldn't stop' eating - added: “In the old days we’d go out for dinner and drinks until the early hours.
"But now after dinner, I’ll look at my watch and say, 'Its 9.30pm, we’d better get back home for bedtime'.
Michelle Keegan shares romantic tribute to Mark Wright with new addition to £3.5m mansion
"It’s a bit more boring now.”
The married pair have been busy designing and building their forever home - just in time for their growing family.
In 2021, the TV duo purchased a £3.5m baby-friendly five-bedroom house, with a cinema room and an outdoor pool.
Last August the couple threw a housewarming party to celebrate the completion of the project - which boasts plenty of space for a nursery.
She told the Guardian: "It still gets me emotional. Because we’ve worked really hard for it. We’ve had to make a lot of sacrifices.
"I missed lots of milestones in my life due to work. Mark went to LA and we spent months apart, which was hard. But, it’s worth it."
Michelle said previously about wanting to settle down and have security in her life.
"I missed lots of milestones in my life due to work. Mark went to LA and we spent months apart, which was hard. But, it’s worth it."
Michelle went on to say that the house was also "about security" as "you never know when all this is going to end".
The couple first met behind-the-scenes on The X Factor before subsequently bumping into each other at numerous other events after.
A year later, the former TOWIE star asked Michelle out on a date which led to things becoming official in 2012.
