Jorgie Porter has showed how she spent her Saturday as she prepares for the birth of her first child. The Hollyoaks actress announced she was pregnant back in June with fiancé Ollie Piotrowski. She posted an adorable Instagram video showing the couple's hands and their pet Doberman's paws pulling away to reveal a baby scan.
And last month, the parents-to-be said they were "thrilled" to announce they are expecting a baby boy. The 34-year-old actress, is due to give birth in December, a year after from the couple’s engagement.
Sharing the news in Hello! magazine, the couple said having a "healthy baby was a dream come true" as they spoke of their heartbreak after a number of miscarriages. The Eccles-born star's pregnancy came six months after she told the devastating news that she had suffered a tragic miscarriage with quadruplets.

Property developer Ollie, 33, described their emotion during the routine ultrasound scan after miscarriages over the past year. He said: "We’d been through so much to reach this point and had learnt to take nothing for granted. Just to have a healthy baby was a dream come true."
And with Jorgie's due date getting closer, she is getting prepared and spent her Saturday 'bouncing'. The 34-year-old, who plays soap favourite Theresa McQueen in the Channel Four soap, took to Instagram with a snap of her in her silk, giraffe-printed pyjamas as she sat on a blue gym ball.
"On Saturdays, we bounce," she typed in the caption. " Anyone else just struggling to get comfy? Feel like I’m spending hours just rolling around on this [crying laughing emoji]." Jorgie then added: "Swipe for reality," as the trio of images showed her going from posing to trying to steady her balance with the help of the wall and a Moses basket.
And the comments soon came flooding in. @thebumptobabychapter said: "Ahh these bad boys are such lifesavers aren’t they. You’re looking absolutely gorgeous, one [fire emoji] Mama." @embaby_art wrote: "[crying laughing emojis] hope you’re well! You look fab." @mrs_callinswood added: "Ahah love this! I was exactly the same towards the end of my pregnancy! Just rolled round my living room."
It comes after Jorgie gave fans a glimpse inside her baby's nursery. She enlisted the help of her mum who had drew and painted a stunning anima-themed mural on the room's white walls. Sharing a video of her hard at work as the vision came together, the mum-to-be typed: "After posting about the nursery furniture I got so many messages about the wall mural.
"My talented mama painted this for us. So many of you thoughts it was stickers and couldn’t believe it wasn’t, so here is proof… I mean seriously, how talented??! @julieporter6787 take a bow." Jorgie was seen then taking in her mother's incredible work, which featured a flamingo, panda, elephant and more.
Jorgie's former Hollyoaks co-star Jazz Franks was among the first to respond, writign: "So special," while Emmerdale actress Natalie Anderson replied: "Beautiful!"
