‘I’m done trying to rush things’: Heavily pregnant Danielle Armstrong reveals she’s now overdue despite her desperate attempts to bring on labour
She’s gearing up to welcome her first child with fiancé Tom Edney.
And Danielle Armstrong has revealed that she has now gone past her due date as she waits to give birth to her daughter.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the 32-year-old TOWIE star confessed that, although she had been trying to induce labour, she is now sitting back and enjoying the time she has left before motherhood.

Showing off her burgeoning baby bump, Danielle mused: ‘I know I’ve been quiet the last few days, she’s still not here.
‘It’s really funny because if I just have a few days off my insta story everyone genuinely thinks I’m in labour. It’s just because I’m having a quiet day off of any social media!’
She continued: ‘In my head now, because I’ve gone past my due date, I’m like you know what, she’ll be here when she’s here.
‘I’m not stressing, I’m actually going to embrace any joy of this time of having still quite good sleep. I’m sleeping really well, I’m having at least seven hours.’

Vowing to make the most of this time, Danielle added: ‘I’m going to enjoy having this time of me and Tom because I know it will all obviously change when bubba girl is here.’
Yet she admitted to trying out many old wives tales to bring on labour, confessing: ‘I’ve done the walking, I’ve been on this bouncy ball, I’ve been walking sideways up the stairs, I’ve had pineapple, I’ve been drinking raspberry leaf tea, I’ve had a curry.
‘All of the things people tell you to do that can maybe bring on labour, I’ve done!
‘And you know what, I’m just going to enjoy this moment and this time, instead of rushing to try and get things going.’

The reality star first announced she is expecting back in November 2019 and revealed her due date is in May.
She and Tommy have been long-term friends for 22 years and first went public with their relationship in September, after he ‘swept Danielle off her feet’ following her split from her ex-boyfriend Daniel Spiller.
Tommy proposed to Danielle during a trip to Dubai at the beginning of March. Announcing the news on Instagram, Danielle gushed: ‘Feel Like The Luckiest Girl In The World Right Now… I SAID YES☺️ #imengaged.’
