'It’s been easier in some ways and harder in others, here are some of the symptoms I have been experiencing over the last few months.
'I had morning sickness from around 6 weeks until the end of my first trimester, I think I’m pretty much past it however occasionally it comes out of nowhere and catches me off guard.
'I’ve learnt that the only thing that really helps is for me to eat through it, ginger biscuits and marmite on toast saved me! I’ve also had this awful sour, metallic taste in my mouth which has added to my general queasiness.

Make like mum-to-be Millie in a milkmaid dress by Doen
Millie Mackintosh turned to Doen several times to keep her looking stylish when she was expecting little Sienna, so it's no surprise to see her doing the same as the family await the arrival of baby number two!
It's not a maternity brand but their oh so boho, loose-fitting dresses work perfectly with a bump, as the former Made In Chelsea star is proving here.
We love the delicate, milkmaid feel to the 'Ischia' design, which features puff sleeves and smocking on the bodice. The floral motif is beautiful too. Unfortunately, Millie's exact style has now sold out, but click (right) for a closer look.

'I felt exhausted in my first trimester, some days I struggled to focus or function. Being pregnant with a 1 year old is a whole different ball game! I’ve also struggled with insomnia, I’m in bed asleep by 9pm most nights but am waking up around 3am to pee (for the 2nd time) and then I can’t get back to sleep.
'I have been trying to work in the mornings and rest when Sienna has her afternoon nap.'
Millie then went on to further discuss her pregnancy ailments, adding: 'My hunger levels have been crazy, during my first trimester I needed to eat the minute I woke up and was waking up in the night starving, I keep rice cakes by my bed, it’s a primal hunger that you just can’t ignore!
'I’ve also had to eat smaller meals more often so I don’t get hungry and then feel sick. I’ve been craving a mix of sweet and savoury, Hawaiian pizzas with extra pineapple, chicken sausages with ketchup, egg fried rice with sweet chilli sauce - you get the picture!

'I had pelvic pain last time and it’s already started bothering me again. I know that pilates will help me to manage it as well as regular trips to the osteopath, avoiding certain exercises that trigger it and no long walks or running.'
The beauty went on to add that her emotions have been 'all over the place' adding that she's extra tired as she has to juggle being pregnant with raising her 13-month-old Sienna.
She wrote: 'My emotions have been ALL over the place, I’m teary, grumpy and full of mood swings (lucky @hugotaylorlondon!) It’s definitely more challenging this time in some ways because it’s exhausting having a 1 year old but I just feel so lucky and overwhelmed with happiness!'
