Heavily pregnant Rhian Sugden displays her baby bump in a blue swimsuit as she reveals she is ‘hibernating’ ahead of welcoming her first child

Rhian Sugden showed off her growing baby bump in a deep blue ribbed swimsuit as she shared an Instagram photo on Monday.

The model, 37, revealed she only has two to three weeks left of her pregnancy and is now in ‘hibernation’ until she welcomes her baby boy.

The mum-to-be, who is expecting her first child with husband Oliver Mellor, 43, said she is ‘so excited’ to meet her newborn.

In the throwback photo from a recent trip to Tenerife last month, Rhian smiled as she showed off her natural beauty in the swimwear.

She wrote: ‘I’m just posting this here as my last photo as a round human before my whole life changes.

‘I’m so excited to meet the little man I have become, what a feeling! Only 2/3 weeks left… see you on the other side! Until then in hibernation!’

Last month, Rhian, who is due on May 4, said her son could arrive sooner than she thought because of his size and the amount of fluid.

She shared with her fans in an Instagram post, writing, “I had the pleasure of being photographed by Jacqueline today!! Get a photo of this egg and turn it into a 3D sculpture!!

‘I’m so glad I booked when I did as there are talks about bringing him in early due to his size and amount of fluid. He’ll be here any minute. Holy Mother of Mary!!”

Rhian and Oliver endured a long journey to conceive, spending more than £150,000 going through eight grueling rounds of IVF over the course of six years to conceive.

It comes after Rhian revealed her OnlyFans page funded her £150,000 IVF treatment, explaining she earned up to £1,000 a day for posting topless or nude photos on the site.

She said The sun: ‘I have nice breasts and I’m not ashamed of OnlyFans. I’ve made more money from OnlyFans than I have in my entire career.’

‘There are so many topless pictures of me, and I thought: why not? I was making a few thousand a day,” she continued.

‘Ollie thinks it’s a bizarre concept that all these men pay money to see his wife’s breasts and he gets the benefits of IVF.’

Rhian also admitted that she’s still unsure if she’ll continue OnlyFans once their baby arrives.

She said that despite the “good money,” she feels like she isn’t sure how she will feel once her baby is born.

Rhian previously said she and Oliver convinced themselves they wouldn’t be able to get pregnant and ‘started planning a good life without children’.

After finally getting pregnant, she shared that their son was “a miracle” and that she wants to have another child as soon as possible.

Speaking to fans on Instagram, she wrote: ‘I love pregnancy so much. It feels like a miracle and has helped heal my pain. I told Oliver, “I can’t bear the thought of this being the last time I’m pregnant, we have to go again.”

‘I would like to try IVF again to have a second child. I’m definitely not old, but time is ticking for me, so I want to start soon. I’d like to leave a gap, but I can’t afford to wait too long.’

It comes after Rhian revealed her OnlyFans funded her IVF treatment, but admitted she is still very unsure about whether she will go ahead once the baby arrives.
