Ex Towie star Lucy Meck has been taking extreme measures to bring on the labour of her first child with no joy.
The 28-year-old is just days away from giving birth to a baby boy with fiancé Ryan Thomas but has taken to Instagram to say despite trying EVERYTHING, her bundle of joy isn't budging.
Posting to her fans, she said: "Fed up.com!!!!! Word of advice for mumma’s to be DON’T expect you will be early even if everyone constantly says things to u like...
•‘You have dropped!! he won’t be much longer!’
•‘You were 6 weeks premature so he will be early.’
•‘Wow your bump is massive, he won’t go full term!’
•I found the 1st trimester very challenging due to sickness & fatigue, but I can honestly say 38-40weeks has been a lot tougher mentally & physically! It’s this weird limbo stage.
She added: "I’ve worked through the list of eating dates, pineapple, walking,sweeps, spicy food, raspberry leaf tea, clary sage oil baths, birthing ball And moreeee I won’t write as it would be a headline on the dailymail/The sun!!! But we know what I mean!!! I give up and I’m just going to relax and let nature take its course as it’s so disheartening when nothing happens!! #40weekspregnant "
Lucy and Ryan got engaged in June of last year during a romantic getaway to Italy, and two months later Lucy announced they were expecting their first child together.
Ryan already has a daughter, 11-year-old Scarlett from previous relationship with then Corrie co star Tina O'Brien.
Being overdue is probably extra annoying for Lucy given that her best friend Lydia Bright, who she was pregnant with at the exact same time, has now given birth.
The former TOWIE star, 30, welcomed her tiny daughter weeks after excitedly packing her hospital bags, alongside Lucy.
