Stacey Solomon has had her household in hysterics with her methods of trying to induce labour.

The former X Factor star, 33, and husband Joe Swash, 41, are currently expecting their third child together, with Stacey set to pop any day now.

They already share Rex, who was born in May 2019, and daughter Rose, born on Stacey’s 32nd birthday in October 2021.

Stacey and Joe are also a happily blended family, as Joe was already father to son Harry, 14, from his previous relationship with ex-fiancee Emma Sophocleous, while Stacey has sons Zach, 14, and Leighton, 10, with former partners Dean Cox and Aaron Barnham respectively.

And with baby number five on the way, the Loose Women panelist is keen to hurry things along.

As ever, the star has shared the ups and downs of pregnancy with her fans – warts and all – and has now revealed the position she’s trying to get baby moving.

Stacey posted a photo squatting in her kitchen, cosy pyjamas on, hair in a messy bun, and mug of tea in hand as she smiled.

‘Happy Friday from me squatting at every opportunity just to try and let gravity do some of the work before labour kicks in’, she wrote to her 5.5million followers.

‘Did anyone else do this at the end?’, she asked. ‘Or am I just a weirdo?’

Sharing Joe’s reaction to the whole thing, she added: ‘Joe thinks it’s hilarious’, followed by a cry laughing emoji.

Up from the floor, the mummy-to-be later shared a video to her Instagram Story, filming her very large bump in the mirror.

‘Thought I’d come on and say hello,’ she began. ‘Still cooking, still going!’

Stacey continued: ‘I think because Rex and Rose were a little bit early, I automatically just assumed she’d be here by now, because the more you have, the more they sort of, slip and slide out. Or, that’s what I thought anyway!’

‘But it’s not the case,’ Stacey laughed.

‘She’s very comfy and cosy in there and I’m quite enjoying it actually, because I feel like this pregnancy has been shorter, so it’s nice to keep going and tie up all my loose ends.’

Having kept the pregnancy to themselves for much of the time – although, Stacey only found out later herself – the couple recently announced that Rose is set to become a big sister.

Sharing the adorable news that they’re having a baby girl, Stacey posed with her youngest daughter (for now!), sitting on top of her belly.
