Emma McVey says she is “panicked” about the thought of giving birth early.

She and dad-to-be Gaz Beadle recently discovered that their baby was “growing bigger than he should be” and that he might be born over a month early.

Their baby is also growing far into Emma’s back, meaning that she only has a small bump despite being over six months pregnant.

The mum-to-be wrote in her column for OK! magazine that she’s been feeling pretty nervous about giving birth for the first time.

“Despite my small bump he’s actually grown really large and is constantly hiding behind the placenta.

“I did ask them during the scan if his size meant he could arrive early – a lot of my friends seem to be giving birth early lately – and they said if I have a few signs he’s coming before he should just ring straight away, especially if it’s five or six weeks early, which has panicked me a bit.”

Emma also said that she has been suffering from sciatica and that as a result, has not had the most comfortable pregnancy.

“They told me at the scan he’s bigger than average.

“Everyone says the smallest bumps are the biggest babies and it looks like he’s going to come out huge so I’m a bit nervous.”

Emma and Gaz first announced that they were expecting back in August.
