Doctor Emily is well into her final trimester.

She revealed she is having the minor contractions regularly and explained that they are normal, and not always a sign of labour.

The 34-year-old told fans in a video: "After Pete posted a video of me having a Braxton-Hicks contractions last week, I thought it was a good chance to share some more information about what they are and simple things you can do to help.

"So they are where the womb contracts and relaxes and not everyone has them in pregnancy.

"If you do have them they are a normal part of pregnancy and they tend to occur later on.

"So for me I've certainly have had a lot of Braxton Hicks and they catch me out when I'm least expecting it."

The star continued: "It does vary from pregnancy, typically you'd expect them not to be painful, but uncomfortable.

"Certainly for me it feels like my body turns into a football when it happens."

She also explained how to know the difference between Braxton-Hicks and labour.

Emily said: "The key things to look out for are, if they are random, infrequent and irregular; they wouldn't increase in intensity."

"Remember, always contact your midwife or maternity unit for advice if you are not sure whether you are having Braxton Hicks or labour contractions.

"If you have any vaginal bleeding, your waters break, you have strong/painful contractions every five minutes that last 30-60 seconds, or you have any concerns about your baby’s movements."

Emily and Peter announced they were expecting their third child together back in October last year.
