Montana Brown has detailed her severe battle with morning sickness ahead of the birth of her first child.
The former Love Island star, 27, shared the news she is expecting her first baby with boyfriend Mark O'Connor with her fans on Christmas Eve in an exciting social media announcement.
While Montana is over the moon to be stepping into motherhood, the journey hasn't exactly been plain sailing.
The much-loved TV star has detailed her intense battle with morning sickness, insisting that she can't seem to escape the nausea.
Things have gotten so bad in recent weeks, that Montana revealed that she even vomited during a work Zoom call.
Taking to Instagram to share the realities of pregnancy, the expectant mum got real with her fans as she explained the awkward Zoom call dilemma amid her severe morning sickness.
Pregnant Montana explained that although she thought she has passed the morning sickness phase, it suddenly made a return over the weekend.
"I did nothing but chill. For some reason, for the past few days, I have randomly been more sick than I have been previously," Montana told her followers.
"I was on a work call, on a Zoom, on Friday. This lovely lady is mid-sentence, and I was like, 'Hold on, I'm gonna be sick and I'm gonna faint'. I just felt really, really lightheaded and just felt like I was gonna fall on the floor.
"But yeah, just feeling a bit more nauseous, which is really annoying actually."
Montana also shared an update on how she is still in search of the perfect hospital to give birth in.
"But, more advancements, we're still looking on the hospital front, lol," she said. "We loved UCLH but it's not midwifery-led and I'm quite set on midwifery led, so we're looking local, looking at other London ones, so that's my task for this week as well."
Montana announced her pregnancy on Christmas Eve in an adorable video.
"Baby O’Connor coming next summer," the mum-to-be captioned the sweet video capturing her pregnancy journey so far.
In the cute footage, Montana shared the moment she and Mark learned they were set to become parents earlier this year, alongside cute snaps of the happy couple on holiday recently.
The former Love Island star could be seen nursing her bump in a bikini during the lavish holiday, as the sweet video documents the first months of Montana's pregnancy.
It also showed the star attending her first scan as she and Mark listen to their baby's heartbeat for the first time in a touching moment.
Montana and Mark first went public when they were spotted together in the Caribbean in January - which was six months after Montana split from model boyfriend Elliott Reeder, and they try to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.
"Mine and Mark's relationship was born out of the second lockdown. I feel like good things always come when you are not expecting it," Montana previously said of their romance to new! magazine.
"It's been lovely to feel in a good headspace. Last year I convinced myself that I didn't want to meet anyone - I'd be on my own forever instead, but he came along when I wasn't looking."
Mark - who used to play for Chiswick and Wales first teams - reportedly met Montana in one of the former rugby player's gyms during the second national lockdown.
