Portia penned: 'PREGNANCY GUILT… I was going to post these pictures with a simple emoji or a line about nearing the end and feeling good etc etc..
'but in true honesty the past few weeks I’ve been feeling really MEH.. within myself at pictures of myself I see and about my out of my control changing body..
'this is in no means a post looking for likes or comments saying ‘you look great’.. it’s more about being honest and just saying how I’m feeling…
'I feel so guilty writing this as I know there will be many women out there who will be thinking how lucky I am, and can’t understand why I feel this way.. and I do know that, I promise I do! [sic]'.

Portia continued: 'It’s so hard to write into such a small space what you go through mentally through pregnancy and it feels it’s only socially acceptable on social media to show the positives all the time..
'but I just wanted to share how I’ve been feeling incase you are struggling a little too… ❤️

Ore and Portia announced they were expecting their second child in an interview with Hello! magazine back in May, marking the 10th anniversary of their first date.
He said: 'We're thrilled. I never thought I was going to find the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with so when I think that 10 years on from our first date, we've got one amazing little boy and another baby on the way, I get quite emotional. This is the life I've always dreamt of.'
Revealing that the child's due date falls in October, Ore added: 'The last year has been the biggest test of our entire relationship.
'I thought I'd be terrified (at having a second child), but after this year I say bring it on.'

This comes as Ore recently shared how parenting in lockdown had tested his marriage to wife Portia.
The couple who have been together for nearly ten years welcomed their son Roman, in 2018.
And in an interview on Good Morning Britain recently, Ore spoke about how the past 12 months have been particularly 'challenging' and that he and Portia have to 'remember we love each other'.
Host Kate Garraway said to the presenter, who appeared on GMB to talk about starring in the Rocky Horror Show: 'It's not easy when you go from 2 to 3 and become a family.'
Ore replied: 'Yeah, he came along and knocked all our plans up, that's what kids do.
'My wife and I will be ten years together next month and we’ve never done anything more challenging than the last 12 months. There were tears, tantrums.
'Roman has enhanced our world more than we could have dreamt but there are times we have to remember that we love each other and what’s why he’s here. He's been our guardian angel in lockdown but he's also been the cause of a few little tiffs.
'It's just finding that time for each other. Every household is different. Communication is the key. We don't go to bed in an argument.'
