She then explained that she conceived via IVF as she opened up in the caption.

Sara told fans: "Love these pictures by @pushgilbey from last weekend’s gig @woolwichworks and felt a lot of feelings at seeing my bump so big and proud.

"I’ve been shy about posting about my pregnancy, partly my own anxiety after losing one at the beginning of the year, but also awareness of what other people may be going through.

"There can be so much sadness felt alongside the happiness (and luck) of others. However I’m in the third trimester now and realised if I don’t post soon, you’ll see me with a buggy next year and think I stole a kid.
