After suffering a miscarriage earlier this year, Louise Thompson is delighted to be nearly five months pregnant. Speaking from her mum’s place while the London home she shares with fiancé Ryan Libbey is being renovated, the 31-year-old tells new, “I don’t recognize myself. I look a lot older and more feminine and curvy, but Ryan loves it. He says it’s a big achievement and I should just enjoy it.”
While Louise adapts to the changes to her body – including unexpectedly big boobs and the dreaded cellulite – she says she’s still exercising… just!
Here, the fitness guru tells us all about eating for two, being back home with mum, and why she’s so independent.
Congratulations Louise! How are you feeling?
Thank you. I’m a lot more tired than I thought I’d be. My body is slowing down. I’m really short of breath today – I suppose that’s all normal now I’m at the 20-week stage. And I’m getting heavy. There’s less space left in my tiny, short body. The baby is pressing up into my diaphragm. Although that’s probably the enormous cottage pie I just ate – I think it was for two people!”
Well you are eating for two now! Are you exercising much?
