She’s been on cloud nine ever since she announced she’s expecting her first child with long-term partner Tommy Mallet.
But Georgia Kousoulou shared a few of her pregnancy woes on Instagram on Wednesday as she revealed she hasn’t been able to get a good night’s sleep since becoming an expectant mother.
The TOWIE star, 29, admitted she believed her rest would only be disrupted once her baby arrives, and also confessed she ‘isn’t looking forward to’ her upcoming blood test to discover whether she has gestational diabetes.
Going make-up free and chilling in her PJs, the TV star told her followers: ‘Afternoon guys, I thought I’d have a bit of a lazy one this morning.
‘I couldn’t sleep last night and I can’t remember the last time I slept a full nights sleep [since being pregnant].
‘I thought this is just when the baby comes. I’m going to go on my rowing machine and just walk.’
The media personality – who is currently 22 weeks pregnant – went on to reach out to fans for their advice on prams, before expressing her fears over fasting for her forthcoming blood test.
The blonde beauty added: ‘Tomorrow is the day I get my bloods done. I’ve got to do fasted so I can’t eat past a certain time, go there in the morning, get the blood test, then have a fizzy drink, and then have another blood test a few hours later.
‘I’ll probably struggle on this as I feel really faint if I don’t eat. I have low blood pressure so this is not going to be ideal, but we’ll just get through it. I’m really not looking forward to that!’
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that affects pregnant women, usually during the second or third trimester. It can affect people who didn’t have diabetes before their pregnancy and usually goes away after the birth.
Last month, the influencer and her businessman boyfriend, 28, revealed they already know the gender of their baby after having a private Harmony blood test.
The pair, who have been dating for over six years, the couple have also bagged their own ITVBe spin-off series that will give fans the chance to watch them as they become parents for the first time.
Unlike some of the show’s couples that have had their relationships plagued with drama, the duo have stood by each other and maintained a strong romance over the years.
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that affects pregnant women, usually during the second or third trimester.
Women with gestational diabetes do not have diabetes before their pregnancy. It usually goes away after the birth.
It occurs when the hormones produced during pregnancy make it difficult for your body to use insulin properly, putting you at an increased risk of insulin resistance.
Treatment focuses on managing blood sugar levels through diet, exercise and sometimes medication.
Women can significantly reduce their risk of developing gestational diabetes by managing their weight, eating healthily and keeping active.
Figures estimate one in five women will develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
Georgia supported Tommy through his battle with mental health in 2018, when the entrepreneur admitted to not being able to leave the house amid his toughest days.
While they are not yet engaged, the pair did discuss the prospect of getting married during the latest series of TOWIE.
Social media star Georgia said: ‘God, I’m with you for the rest of my life, that’s mental isn’t it? Like we’re actually going to be together forever, that’s long.’
Tommy added: ‘I come in handy sometimes George. I’m needed in other ways, kids, marriage, you’re not going to get married by yourself, are you?’ to which Georgia replied: ‘No and I am happy about it.’
