‘Defo a viking baby!’ Binky Felstead reveals her bump has had a ‘growth spurt’

Binky Felstead noticed another change in her pregnancy journey on Thursday morning, taking to Instagram to share the update with her followers.

Posing in front of the mirror in gym gear, she flashed her pregnancy bump and exclaimed she’s had a growth spurt overnight.

‘Defo a viking baby!’ she added, of her unborn son.

She looked to be en route to a work out in a black crop top and leopard print leggings.

This followers a previous update in which she displayed her beautiful baby bump in a flowing white dress on Tuesday evening. 

The Made In Chelsea star, 30, looked radiant as she told her followers she’s beginning to feel tired in her third trimester, with her body ‘telling her to slow down’. 

She wrote: ‘Gosh I’m tired! Juggling a lot of ‘balls’ at the moment which I love as I’m working on a few things I’m really passionate about – however my energy levels are beginning to tell me to slow downnnn… which I hate.

‘I’m not very good at ‘chilling’ there’s always things to do isn’t there?! – and I don’t ever like taking a lunchtime nap which so many people say to do! Can’t wait for a bit of normality now- how’s everyone else feeling / coping?’

‘I’m feeling very grateful for long walks and fresh air in the sun with my family & this body of mine growing the next little member! Feels like it’s flown by … wonder if it’s going to continue like that … or start to slow down!’

The reality star – who is also mum to daughter India, three, who she co-parents with her former co-star ex-boyfriend Josh Patterson, 31 – is expecting her first son with businessman fiancé Max Darnton, 31.

Last week, Binky marked the date she would have welcomed her baby before suffering a tragic miscarriage last year.

The TV personality said she ‘won’t be able to fully relax until he is in my arms’ as she reflected on the ‘anxieties’ of going through pregnancy after a miscarriage.

Binky – real name Alexandra – explained she is ‘pleased to finally be on the home stretch after a long and nerve-wracking road’ to her third trimester. 

She wrote on her Instagram story: ‘Yesterday would have been our due date. I still get messages daily from you and I’m so happy people are feeling able to talk about miscarriage more which is helping so many. 

‘I’m so grateful I was able to get pregnant again, and am finally on the ‘homestretch’ after what has felt like a long and nerve wracking road.

‘Pregnancy after miscarriage doesn’t come without anxiety – I don’t think I will be able to fully relax until this baby boy is in my arms.’

Binky and Max, who is managing director at a global executive search and consulting firm, have been in a relationship since January 2019 after meeting at countryside private members’ club Soho Farmhouse.  

In September 2020, the couple announced that they were engaged after 19 months of dating.

In a recent appearance with the Made by Mammas podcast, Binky said that men can often be overlooked during a miscarriage and revealed she once found Max ‘in bits’ crying in their bedroom after suffering their baby loss.

Binky explained: ‘You don’t think about the men as well, no one really talks about the men but he was just so upset. I found him in bits in our bedroom crying because he felt so hopeless.

‘He didn’t know what to do because obviously, physically it was my body going through it but mentally he just felt distraught. He couldn’t help me apart from hug me and let me cry on his shoulder.’
