The mum-of-one went on to list her weight at different stages of her pregnancy.
In addition, she said: “Weight gain is inevitable. You are growing a human & there’s so many other changes to your body!
“Water, placenta and huge boobs!”

“I eat three balanced meals a day, lots of water when I breast feed and a few snacks e.g. oat cookies, hummus, rice cakes, half an avocado.”
However, Lucy says she doesn’t feel pressure to stay on top of her healthy lifestyle.
Speaking to the Mail Online, Lucy explained: “It is important to stay fit and healthy to have some me-time, but when you have a newborn, you just want to sleep and spend time with your child.
“Priorities do change, I don’t have time to train four times a week like I used to, but that’s fine. My life is different now, Roman is my priority, not the gym!”
