Pregnant Charlotte Crosby turns to her Instagram followers for advice as she suffers ‘worst’ pain

The reality TV star, 32, posted a video to her Instagram story yesterday evening (25 July), as she complained about the pain she has been getting in her hips.

Charlotte said: “So, let’s have a little pregnancy update

"I am getting the worst pain in my hips. Wow, it was only the right hip but now it’s my left hip."

The Geordie Shore star is expecting a baby with her boyfriend Jake Ankers, 31.

She also posted a video saying that she has just realised she’s now in her third trimester, adding: “How the hell has that gone so quick?”

Charlotte announced her pregnancy on 12 April on Instagram, writing: “A moment I wasn’t sure would ever be mine is here, it’s mine (and Jakes) and I couldn’t be happier to be sharing it with you all… I’m having a baby”

Charlotte, who boasts over 8million Instagram followers, has been sharing updates throughout her pregnancy including preparations for her baby’s nursery and how she’s easing aches.

She asked her followers for their advice on what could be causing her hip pain, while saying that she thinks it could be sciatica.

One follower wrote “Pelvic girdle! I had it both times” to which Charlotte said “Oh my god what the hell is this, didn’t even know this was a thing, I must google.”

Some women develop pelvic pain in pregnancy, and it may be called pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP) or symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD).

PGP is a collection of uncomfortable symptoms caused by a stiffness of pelvic joints or the joints moving unevenly at either the back or front of the pelvis.

Charlotte has also shared her pregnancy tips and tricks online. In an advertisement reel last night, she recommended the massaging stick from My Expert Midwife.

She said in the video: “Right guys, I need to tell you about the marvellous massaging stick from My Expert Midwife.

“It is full of amazing oils including frankincense to calm, ground and relax you. It’s even got shea butter which is going to rehydrate your skin and help with inflammation.”

Adding: “It is even better when you pop it in the fridge overnight and get it out the next day.”

Her Career: Charlotte was an original cast member in the MTV reality series, Geordie Shore, from 2011 to 2016, where she had an on/off relationship with Gaz Beadle.
