Molly-Mae Hague has posted an emotional video to YouTube as she prepares to welcome her first child with Love Island boyfriend Tommy Fury – but admits she’s struggling to get to grips with breastfeeding, revealing she’d even tried doing it on herself for practise.
Talking to her 1.73m subscribers on her ever-popular YouTube channel, Molly-Mae, who’s due to give birth any day now, said, ‘I've packed a lot of nipple pads, I don't know how many I'm going to need. This is my first rodeo, guys, I don't know how much I'm going to be leaking... if the current situation is anything to go by now, I'm not going to be leaking at all!
‘I have not leaked a single droplet of milk. I'm going to tell you something horrendously weird and disgusting, I actually - I don't know if this is too x-rated for the internet... oh screw it, I'm just going to say it. I tried to put my own nipple in my mouth. My boobs are actually that big that it's possible.’
2019 runner ups Molly and Tommy are about to enter the elite club of Love Islanders who’ve become parents following their time on the show, with Molly announcing the news in September 2022. The news was hailed as ‘a sign of hope’ for women suffering from endometriosis, which Molly-Mae was diagnosed with in 2021, and which often affects women’s ability to conceive.
And so eager were fans for the smallest tidbit of pregnancy info that earlier this month they were convinced that the reality star’s baby name had been accidentally leaked when interiors company Neo posted a render of a nursery that fans were convinced was Molly-Mae’s with the name ‘Halo’ in neon lights above the crib.
While Molly-Mae has previously said her pregnancy has been ‘a dream’, back in December she said in an interview that she was struggling with being apart from Tommy.
'It’s been a stressful couple of months because Tommy’s been in camp and I’ve literally been by myself for two months but now I should have him back for a bit, providing he doesn’t have anything else coming up soon. I don’t know. You never know,’ she said.
‘I work all the time and he’s away working - it’s just constant. We are never together. People have these dream pregnancies where it’s like they’re always with their husbands, doing baby shopping and cute things.’
