Rachel Gorry has shared an update on how pregnancy is going so far and revealed that she is both “amazed” and a “little scared” carrying her twins.
The influencer announced back in February that she’s having twin babies with her boyfriend Adrien.
She has now taken to her Instagram story to share a baby bump update, and wrote: “Hey 👶🏼👶🏼 Your loved so much already🤎.”
“Bump is bumping 🤰🏼 and I’m loving it 😍 you’ll have to excuse the bump pictures but I’m obsessed 🥰.”
The 34-year-old is “still amazed there is two babies in my belly” and she’s “a little scared at how big it will get 😂.”
Nonetheless, Rachel can’t express just “how lucky and grateful” she feels.
During a Q&A on Instagram shortly after announcing her pregnancy, she explained that she’s due in September, but expects to give birth slightly earlier in August.
A fan then asked how she found out she’s having not one but two babies.
The already mother-of-three explained that finding out was “actually quite a scary day”, as she had been experiencing severe implantation cramping.
“This had been going on for awhile this time. They were quite severe. I went to bed one night and I wasn’t feeling well at all and I woke up the next morning and the cramps – I was doubled over,” she said.
“The doctor was scanning me and the nurse was in the room… I couldn’t see anything straight away and the tears were just like streaming from my eyes. I was lying on the bed and I just thought ‘we’re after losing the baby.'”
As she broke down in tears, Rachel continued: “I don’t know why this is making me emotional, it’s so silly my emotions are all over the place, but I just know so many people go through this. It was devastating lying there thinking, ‘oh my god’.”
“She couldn’t see anything but then I could see the baby in the sac. She just said I’ll talk to you at the end and I just thought, ‘All right something’s wrong, because I’ve had three kids before and I’ve never been told we’ll talk at the end’. They’d normally say something like. ‘oh there’s the heartbeat.’”
Rachel explained that another doctor then came into the room to look at the screen and said to her and Adrien: “Oh my god, congratulations! You’re having twins!”
“You just go from a low to such a high… Twins… that’s such a shock but I think because I thought we were gonna be leaving the hospital without a baby – sorry, I’m so emotional, I think we thought we were leaving the hospital with no baby and now we ended up leaving with two.”
She finished off the story by saying its just “such a blessing.”
Rachel also revealed the twins “aren’t identical”, and that loads of people had predicted that she was pregnant before she announced it.
“People were even writing stuff under posts and I was like ‘oh my god!’ When I had Leah, I think people always assume because I’m a slim build [that I might be] nice and neat or whatever, [but] I get so big when I’m pregnant…”
“I feel like the minute I found out I was pregnant, I was like oh my god I have a bump straight away. My face gets so puffy. I don’t know whether it fills with fluid or what it is.”
“But my face is my tell-tale sign that I’m pregnant and so many people were saying ‘your face is a lot puffier. You’re putting on weight or whatever.’ So yeah, a lot of people knew. There was no way I could hide it.”
“Then I started getting the messages: ‘Are you pregnant?’ I was like how do they know?! You can hide your belly but I can’t hide me face. My face is what it is. It’s gonna get much bigger than this!”
Rachel also told her followers that it was a “natural conception” and that she didn’t do IVF.
