After uploading a video of herself stroking her pregnancy bump, Gemma opened up about her birthing plans.

In a now-deleted Instagram story, the actress said she had been reading a book on hypnobirthing all day.

Gemma gushed: "So excited. I'm genuinely so excited for what's to come."

It comes just days after Gemma was rushed to hospital with her fourth water infection. The star, 34, told fans she had been "vomiting all night" after dashing to A&E to find out the cause of her pain.

Gemma said: "Today’s post is the glamorous subject of Kidney infections! Yes, I’m going there. I’ve had 3 so far during pregnancy and this morning I was diagnosed with my 4th.

"The first two I knew nothing about, the third one floored me and I actually ended up in A&E with it back in early April. Apparently some woman are just prone to them"

Gemma said she mistakenly thought her pain was simply back ache after watching Avengers: End Game in the cinema with boyfriend Gorka Marquez before she was diagnosed.

She continued: "During mine & Gorks cinema trip I started with back ache but Avengers was a long ass movie so I thought maybe that’s why. Alas though last night came the fever, aches, cold sweats and nausea. In fact I pretty much looked like the exorcist.

"At first I felt a tad embarrassed going to the Docs with just “back ache and sickness” 🙄 but thank God I did.

"I recognised my symptoms from last time, caught it quickly so it’s not as bad as the last one (thankfully) and its currently being treated."

The actress went on to thank the NHS but admitted that she hopes she is left in peace until she goes into labour.
