Ex-Celtic TV presenter Summer Harl opens up about pregnancy after fearing she had Gestational Diabetes

Ex Celtic TV host Summer Harl has opened up about her pregnancy journey as she hits the 27 week mark.

Summer took to her blog ' Not Another Blogger ' to update her followers of her experience so far.

The 31-year-old is expecting her first child with Hearts keeper Craig Gordon, and announced the exciting news back in October after she previously opened up about her struggle to conceive due to having  Polycystic ovary syndrome.

Summer told her fans about how she found out the gender of the baby, the way she told her family the news but also went on to talk about getting tested for Gestational Diabetes.

Summer said she was worried about it and avoided using Google for answers.

She wrote: "I went for a glucose test last week, to check for Gestational Diabetes. I had been warned that I could encounter this as it's very common for PCOS sufferers. As the test date got closer, I was feeling a little worried about it.

"I hadn't googled anything because I try not to do that with anything. It's terrifying searching for things pregnancy related as there are so many conflicting stories, stats, articles etc.

"My consultant had told me to look out for fatigue, and I hadn't felt tired so thought I would be ok. (It actually turns out that most symptoms aren't felt anyway, and that just like PCOS, 1 in 5 women develop it).

"Anyway, I did my fasting, had my bloods taken, drank the pretty awful drink, went away for 2 hours and back for more bloods. But within 24 hours, my results were in, and they were all normal. Yey, I felt very grateful about this."

Just last week, the influencer shared her recent 4D ultra sound which showed off the baby's cute face.

She posted a series of pictures of the detailed scan photos which clearly show the outline of the eyes, nose, lips and hands.

Alongside the pictures, she wrote: "New year, new lockdown. We're here enjoying our little bubble... hope everyone is doing ok. x"

And her followers were delighted to see her  healthy baby boy.

One said: "Ah how cute. Look at those lips!"

While another added: "Amazing Summer, sending lots of love."

And another wrote: "This is epic."

Summer and her partner Craig revealed on Instagram just before Christmas that they were expecting a boy, by posing in front of a Christmas tree covered in blue decorations and a large 'BOY' balloon.
