Catherine Tyldesley shares sweet baby bump snaps as she says she feels 'blessed'

Catherine Tyldesley showed off her blossoming bump as she penned an adorable message to her unborn baby girl.

The former Coronation Street star, 38, shared a string of new images on Instagram showing her in a blue dress that she told fans was two sizes bigger than usual to fit her growing belly and boobs.

The snaps showed her cradling her tummy lovingly, as she told her unborn baby how “blessed” she felt.

“Even on the hardest of days/toughest of weeks – the moment you kick me, I smile, I feel blessed,” Catherine wrote.

“Grateful beyond words.

“You’re so strong already- it’s like you can sense when I feel lost or weak. You karate kick me and remind me how strong I am.”

The star, who is already mum to six-year-old son Alfie with her hubby Tom Pitfield, went on: “You remind me of everything that matters and you encourage me to give thanks at the end of each day. A few moments of gratitude doesn’t seem enough for such a blessing.

“You remind me how important it is to take care of my body, to eat well. To breathe clean air.

“To look after my mind – to release my worries for you, because I want you to feel calm.”

“In the weirdest of ways you’re really taking care of me,” she said.

“Thank you baby girl… for reminding me of all these things.”

The actress then told her followers she was totally in love with her bright blue flowery dress, saying she “went a couple of sizes up to accommodate bump and boobs”.

“Going to wear the hell out of it before I get even bigger!!” she said. “Love this colour.”

Catherine was inundated with comments from fans and celebrity friends after sharing her pregnancy update.

“Angel you look beautiful x,” fellow Corrie star Helen Flanagan posted.

I’m A Celebrity camper Arlene Phillips wrote: “You look so delightful and beautiful.”

This Morning’s Josie Gibson said it was a “stunning piccy”.

Catherine announced last October that she and Tom were expanding their brood, saying it had been tough keeping it a secret for the first few months and that they were “so happy”.
