Lauren Goodger has revealed her lips have swollen since becoming pregnant.
The former TOWIE star shared a screenshot of herself with flushed lips and enquired why they would grow in size now she is a mum-to-be.
And the 34-year-old also shared an internet screenshot of when she used the Google search engine to find out about the swelling.
The Google result yielded the information for the inquisitive TV reality star, reading: “Swelling is a normal part of pregnancy and it happens in just about every part of your body including your lips.
“Women’s skin glows during pregnancy as a result of an increase in blood flow and circulation throughout the entire body including the face, nose and lips.”
The internet search also brought up images of celebrity mums Khloe Kardashian, tennis ace Serena Williams and former EastEnders and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! star Jacqueline Jossa.
“Capillary density increases during pregnancy,” says Healthline’s parenthood section.
“This is the theory behind the rosy cheeks of a ‘pregnancy glow’ — blood vessels near the surface dilating.
“And all this adds up to the possibility of increased blood flow in your lips as well, which in theory could cause a plumper, fuller, or even redder pout.”
Lauren and proud boyfriend Charlie Drury have revealed they are having a baby girl.
And on Friday, Lauren sparked rumours the happy couple has merged her and Charlie’s names to call their baby Laulie.
“The baby names that I’ve thought of are something original,” Lauren revealed last month in a post to her 781,000 Instagram followers.
“It’s something that I’ve made up, so yes, exciting. A couple of them are original.”
And speaking about her happy baby news, Lauren told new! magazine: “I’m a girls’ girl, so it’s amazing for me. I love the fact I’m having a little girl – my little girl.
“I can dress her how I want and do all the girly things. People say, ‘I couldn’t see you with a boy.’
