Myleene on... being pregnant

Myleene went straight from presenting BBC's The One Show to the labour ward, and produced her beautiful, healthy new daughter Ava last week!

Two months before the birth of Ava, with fiance Graham Quinn, 29-year-old Myleene told Prima Baby all about bumps, babies - and baring all for her antenatal checks.

Best pregnancy buy: Bra extenders. Available from haberdashers, they cost £1.50 for a piece of a elastic that attaches to your bra straps. 'Great for when you feel a bit swollen.'

Stretchmarks: 'I don't have any yet, but I'm rubbing in loads of oil.'

Pet name for her baby: 'Rice - she looked like a grain of rice on the scan.'

Cravings: 'Cheese, cheese and more cheese! On everything - pasta, bread, even strawberries!' 

Strangest pregnancy dream: 'I'm getting some really vivid ones at the moment. The weirdest one is that I put the baby on the sofa the forget where I've left her!'

Most embarrassing pregnancy moment: 'Realising I wasn't supposed to take my pants off for every antenatal check. I'd had to take them off once, so just assumed I'd have to every time, and kept stripping off even though it wasn't necessary. Well, I didn't know!

'That, and crying at soppy adverts on TV.'
