Peter Andre revealed on his Instagram Stories that heavily pregnant Emily MacDonagh was experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions as she approached her due date on Friday.

The singer, 51, posted a video of Dr. Emily, 34, showed off her blossoming baby bump which she cradled before welcoming the couple’s third child.

In the clip, Peter gushed about his ‘adorable’ wife as he playfully documented the labor pains, calling him ‘Toni Braxtons’ after the famous American singer.

It comes after Peter ‘faked’ his wife Emily’s pregnancy by strapping heavy melons to his chest and stomach for a bizarre video.

The singer took to Instagram as he shared the experiment with his fans.

The video started with Emily helping Peter tie up the fruit before he struggled to complete a series of daily tasks.

As the video played, he said, “Emily’s belly is quite small and even though these melons may be a bit exaggerated, the melon to bump ratio is, I think we’re pretty good in a way.”

What are Braxton Hicks contractions?

In Braxton Hicks, the uterus contracts and relaxes. Sometimes they are known as false labor and occur towards the end of pregnancy

Not all women will have Braxton Hicks contractions.

Women often describe Braxton Hicks contractions as a feeling of mild menstrual cramps or a tightening in a specific part of the stomach that comes and goes.
