Pregnant Dani Dyer showcases her bump in lilac belted dress and shares glimpse into nursery

She is preparing to welcome her first child with boyfriend Sammy Kimmence. 

And Dani Dyer showcased her bump in a lilac belted dress as she shared a glimpse into her baby’s nursery on Instagram on Monday. 

The Love Island winner, 24, announced her pregnancy in July and has been keeping her fans updated on Instagram ever since. 

Dani has now shared a series of snaps to Instagram as she revealed the baby’s animal-themed nursery, kitted out by Wayfair.  

In the first snap, the daughter of Danny Dyer looks glamorous in the midi-dress as she stands next to the baby’s wardrobe and gazes at the tiny clothes. 

Dani also showed off her white cot, complete with a sheer white and brown canopy and elephant teddy on the bed. 

The wall behind the cot is papered with elephant-patterned wallpaper while she has hung a picture of a giraffe and one of a rabbit on the wall. 

The room was filled with different animal ornaments, including a wooden elephant and rhino as well as a light-up elephant. 

The mother-to-be has displayed books around the room, and has hung grey curtains with white stars, which matches the blanket on the changing table. 

There was bunting on the wall and in the final snap Dani posed on the grey chair, which had a teal blanket hung over it, as she glowed, radiating happiness before welcoming her baby. 

On Monday evening, the reality star revealed she experienced her first Braxton Hicks contractions.

She admitted she was in pain after experiencing the uterine contractions, which can start six weeks into any pregnancy but are more prevalent in the second or third trimester. 

Addressing her Instagram followers, she said: ‘So last night I properly experienced them Braxton Hicks contraction things – honestly there’s so much that goes into being pregnant. 

‘They were really painful. I was like what’s this, what’s that. Wow, they’re not very nice.’ 

The TV personality also fielded a Q&A with followers after many shared their own experiences with the mild cramping brought on by the contractions.  

Responding to a fan who suffered with Braxton Hicks 26 weeks into her pregnancy, Dani admitted she was at an advantage as she had researched the symptom before experiencing it. 

She said: ‘Always best to get checked if you’re scared. I read about them in a book weirdly enough yesterday so I felt like I knew exactly what they was when it was happening.’  

The Love Islander told her Instagram followers on Christmas Eve that she is ‘so scared to give birth’ as her due date quickly approaches in ‘a month’s time’. 

She begged her followers to give her ‘tips’ as she admitted that she was finding it hard to remain laid back about going into labour. 

The expectant mother said that she was terrified as it hit her that she is going to be welcoming a baby very early in the new year. 

She continued: ‘So I honestly am so scared now to give birth. Like knowing in a month’s time, there is going to be a baby here – hopefully if I’m not like overdue and stuff – I’m just really scared!

‘I just want tips now. I’ve been sort of that person that’s like “yeah I’m fine and whatever – giving birth, easy” and now I’m sitting here like “oh my God”. Um, any tips would be great.’
