Pregnant Olivia Bowen reveals due date as she changes outlook on becoming a mum

Olivia Bowen says she's feeling much calmer about becoming a first time mum as she reveals her due date.

Wearing a figure-hugging baby pink dress the former Love Islander affectionately placed a hand on her blossoming bump.

"I've become so much more comfortable and calm about becoming a mum & expecting now. It just seems to take time to get used to it!

"So, that being said I wanted to share with our online family that baby bowen is due in june," she added with a love heart emoji.

The 28-year-old added that the couple doesn't want to know the gender of the baby before it's born.

"We're still not finding out the gender though haha! Staying strong. I actually don't even want to know, it seems quite insignificant to me now. At first it was a thing & people love to guess!

"Alex & I just don't believe in any of the old wives tales of bump shape stuff. We literally don't have a clue, and we don't really guess either!"

"Any ladies in their early pregnancy or even later stages, if you're feeling like you're flapping & anxious don't worry! I felt so helpless & it passed!"

She added that the "hormones don't help" and said: "Just take comfort in knowing I did not feel maternal whatsoever & now I just feel so excited & at peace with it which sounds weird but I was so anxious, now I just feel calm!"

"Calm before the storm maybe! You got this!" she added.

She posed in her walk in wardrobe in a tan baggy hoodie and coat with a pair of legging shorts.

She shared a photo during her early pregnancy and joked about how she thought her bump was far bigger than it was.

"It's the funniest thing because at the time you think you have a bump then you compare it to now and you're like OH ok this is an actual bump I think I was just wishing it."

She went on to say that she didn't properly start showing until the four or five month mark, and added that every woman's body is different.

The mum-to-be said that she isn't planning on taking maternity leave too, adding that it's "not really a thing" when you're self employed.

"We're very lucky to have flexible jobs, I haven't planned maternity leave obviously it's not really a thing when your self employed. I'm going to take it as it comes, hopefully not as long as I wanna work but who knows how it'll be!"
