Stacey Solomon shares pic of furry baby bump and asks mums for advice

The Loose Women star jokes she’s ‘pregnant with a Furby’ after noticing ‘thick, wiry black’ hair on her tummy

Loose Women star Stacey Solomon has shared a candid snap of her 'furry' baby bump on Instagram, asking fellow mums for advice.

The 29-year-old, who is pregnant with boyfriend Joe Swash’s child, posted the close-up shot on social media in the hope that it would open up a conversation with other mums about the 'thick, wiry black' hair on her tummy.

I think I’m pregnant with a Furby 🤣 I need to know... Did anyone else’s belly just suddenly become covered in fur? Im not sure if you can see it but all of the grainy little lines are blonde hairs that I’ve never had before and now I’ve now started sprouting some lovely thick, wirey black ones around my belly button. I’ve always had my hair tummy snail trail which is a line of hair that practically goes from my cleavage all the way done to my hoo-ha but never an all over fuzz 😂😂 i’m not upset by it one bit I’ve always loved my, furrier than most, body, I’m just so fascinated as to why this happens? What does it mean? Is it to keep the Furby warm? 😂😂 Any incites are much appreciated (I think, as long as they’re not scary, if you have something scary to say, DON’T my anxiety can’t take it 🤣)

Spending some time with mummy all to himself before he has to share me three ways. He’s been sharing me with his little brother for nearly 7 years and he’s been incredible. So we are getting some memories in during the calm before the storm 😂 love u Zachy 💛 P.S He’s laughing because he thinks my boobs are way too big and embarrassing for me to be cuddling him 😂

Stacey’s fans were quick to reassure the body confident star it was 'hormonal' and nothing to worry about. They also showered her with compliments and praised her for getting real about pregnancy.

One wrote: “Perfectly normal hun its just connected to the hormonal shift 💜 you are looking fab and obviously excited for your new addition which is great for all of us to see 💜.”

“It's just a hormonal thing, should go when bubba arrived, love your confidence, your amazing,” said another.

A rare moment where I’m awake 😂😂 just wanted to say we are so so grateful for all of the lovely messages we’ve received since sharing our news and each and every one means so much to us it really does. We are still trying to get through them all and reply back but we aren’t doing it very quickly 😂😂 so thought we’d post a massive THANK YOU from all of us we are so over the moon and excited and blown away by kindness 💜💜

Some followers even suggested the TV personality’s new “fuzz” was an indication of the baby’s sex.

One fan said: “I’ve heard that it means you have more testosterone when your pregnant so strange things like that can happen. Maybe that means your having a baby boy 🤔 who knows!”

“Mine did, it means a boy 💙💙,” wrote another.

Stacey already has two sons, Zachary, 10, and Leighton, six, and Joe is dad to 11-year old Harry Swash. The couple have been dating since January 2016.
