Helen Flanagan shows off baby bump as she vows it'll be her last child

Helen Flanagan showed off her baby bump as she posed in her underwear and reflected on her pregnancy.

Coronation Street star Helen is currently seven months pregnant with her third child, but she told her followers this would be her last baby as she couldn't face another bout of extreme morning sickness.

Helen, 30, wore a full face of make-up as she proudly cradled her baby bump as she wore a pink and black lingerie set from Pour moi.

She wrote a lengthy caption about her pregnancy saying she had found it a "challenge" after suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum and having nausea most days.

Admitting a fear of labour Helen said she was currently completing a hypnotherapy course to help her through the birth and had decided for a hospital birth rather than a home birth.

And she said she didn't mind if she had a boy or a girl and said: "I genuinely would love a girl or a boy. I’d love to have three girls and sisters together, a girl gang and I would equally adore to have a little boy a son as it’s a totally new experience. I just feel lucky to carry with other women close to me not having such an easy time."

Helen said she had also experienced back pain during her pregnancy and said this child would be her and her partner Scott's last.

She said: "This is definitely my last pregnancy. I had Matilda at 24 and I wanted my children close together and it just feels right for me.

"I would never want to go through the hyperemesis again, it wouldn’t be fair on the children I already have and I want to give each child as much attention as each other.

"I thought I’d feel sad if I knew I was carrying my last but the hyperemis has been a blessing as it’s took that away."

Speaking about how she feels about having three young children Helen said: Sometimes I feel a bit overwhelmed at the thought of having three little ones. I sometimes think- how will I juggle everything?

"Sometimes I think will I ever leave the house, but I think every new mum thinks that regardless of how many children she has.

"I always find it takes me a good month to feel a bit normal to recover from labour, to get to grips with nursing and to get out the house with more ease."
