She wrote alongside them: "I thought I’d have all sorts of creative ways to deliver this information but the truth is the last 12 weeks have been quite challenging.
"Unlike last time, Ryan and I haven’t documented our journey at all. I’ve hardly taken any pictures or videos for fear that something might happen."
She continued: "I’ve also felt like ASS. I never knew that fatigue or ‘flatness’ like this existed in pregnancy. There are 0 before and after snaps, no week to week transformations or fun reveal videos with friends and family leading a trail of buns to an oven, instead there is a drawer filled with 10000000x billion gazillion pregnancy tests (shameless and expensive) and some sensitive conversations where we try not to get too excited.

"I’d be lying if I said it’s been an easy ride but the truth is I think poor Ryan has found it even harder than I have."
Louise went on to praise Ryan, saying: "I’m definitely lucky to have such a sensitive partner and I feel safe in the knowledge that you are going to be the best dad in the world."
She then shared the wonderful news that she's expecting, writing: "Now we’ve reached this hopeful milestone 😊😊😊 i am really pleased to be able to share our lovely news with you all 🗞. I want to try to relax a smidge and to be able to enjoy the journey as I’m informed it will be over in a flash.
"The truth is I might have waited a little longer to share but I don’t think I could have hidden the news for much longer because there is absolutely ZERO room left in this 5ft short torso for a growing bump except to push MASSIVELY outwards which means it’s becoming very hard to hide... I’ve already received a few comments.
"I already resemble a wide load vehicle (Ryan’s words not mine and incidentally exactly the kind of humour I need to get me through the next 6 months)."
Louise's followers rushed to offer their congratulations, with Zara McDermott - who is dating Louise's brother Sam Thompson - writing: "I am so happy, proud, excited, and everything in between!!!!!! You are going to be the BEST parents in the world!!🥰❤️🥺 Sam and I are SOOOOOOO excited 🥺 love you both so much xxxxxxxxx".
Jacqueline Jossa wrote: "congrats to your beautiful little family xxxxx".
Louise's former co-star Rosie Fortescue added: "So so so happy for you ❤️".
Back in March, Louise shared that she had tragically suffered a miscarriage.
She wrote: "I wanted to share my story because it might help someone, but for the first time in my life, I’m actually a bit lost for words.
Maybe it’s because I feel like I have SO much to say and I don’t want to waste this opportunity or because I'm not sure I've 100% processed it yet, but either way, there will be no 'perfect' time, so here goes, I’ll try my best. I’ve always been taught that a problem shared is a problem halved, and I pass that mantra on to others, always encouraging people to talk, talk, talk, so it’s time to practice what I preach."
