Dani Dyer has finally opened up about her newfound pregnancy journey – admitting that it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.
The Love Island winner, 24, shocked fans last week when she dropped the bombshell baby news with boyfriend Sammy Kimmence.
Revealing that she’s reached the 14-week mark of her pregnancy, Dani decided to share some intimate details from her experience so far.
Writing to her 3.3 million Instagram followers, Dani posted a sweet summer snap of herself soaking up the rays as she chewed on a watermelon.
Her blossoming baby bump was on full display for fans to admire.
In a lengthy caption, the mum-to-be wrote: “14 Weeks. I’ve really started noticing the changes in my body and I’m definitely embracing it.”
She continued: “Apparently at this stage I’m supposed to feel ‘on top of the world’ which I really hope for as the first few months have been really hard. I’ve had loads of messages from people so thought I’d share my experience so far.”
Despite admitting to always feeling nauseas, Dani said she hasn’t experienced any physical sickness during her pregnancy.
She explained: “And honestly your responses and little tips have been amazing I really feel like it is like a little community on here and I love it lol. I’ve been lucky with not being physically sick.”
She added: “But I’ve definitely suffered with the nausea, always being tired but waking up at stupid times and horrendous migraines (I will definitely be trying out all the new things people have recommended me so Thankyou).”
Dani admitted that she’s changed her eating habits now that she’s expecting, telling fans she’s opting for carbohydrates instead of salads due to cravings.
She went on: “I’ve had to say goodbye to salads and hello to anything that can go inside of a sandwich or a roll because for some reason a plain salad makes me GAG! All I want is carbs carbs carbs.”
Dani added: “At first I felt terrible I didn’t want to exercise or do anything I just wanted to lay on the sofa and sleep. But there is NOTHING wrong with that, I think I’ve learnt everyday I will feel different!
“Some days I’ll have energy some days I won’t even want to get out of my pyjamas and that’s totally ok.
“There’s always a lot of pressure on how you should feel but we are all different. I actually want to shout out to the women that write on netmums because they have got me through the worrying.”
She concluded: “I’ve honestly never ever been a hypochondriac until now. I have drove myself mad with worry over every single niggle or pain or if I have had a headache that lasted more than a day I have been on the phone to 111.
“But I am calming down now, you can’t help but worry the first few months as it really is the hardest because you want it all to be positive and ok.
“Wishing all my beautiful pregnant ladies a healthy and safe pregnancy. Thinking of you all.”
