Georgia Kousoulou has admitted she was left “panicked” and “overwhelmed” during her 20-week scan when it was revealed that her unborn baby’s stomach is larger than usual.
The pregnant TOWIE star, who is expecting her first child with long-term boyfriend Tommy Mallet, was left in tears after the hospital visit and took to social media to seek advice from her followers.
She explained, “It was good but I did have a panic when they said to me the baby's belly was slightly bigger than normal so now I have to go for a diabetic blood test.
“I don't think I have it but they said just to make sure, any midwives out there watching can you please DM me because I don't really know much about it.”
Georgia added, “Everything else is fine, the baby is healthy - I just think I have got a big baby, I was quite big and I think Tommy was too.
“You know when you hear something and you're like ‘what?’ and it freaked me out...
“I literally cried because I panicked because I didn't know what it meant. You know when you just get overwhelmed and you're like ‘what does that mean?’”
