Bumping along
Over the last few months, Catherine has kept her baby bump incognito leaving fans surprised when she announced the happy news at the weekend.
It’s only been more recently that the former Corrie star has been showing off her blossoming belly in a series of sweet snaps.
Speaking to Hello! magazine, Catherine said: “We feel so lucky. When we found out, I just burst into tears…
“Tom was in bits when we found out we are having a little girl. He has suddenly gone all mushy. I’m sure she will have him wrapped around her little finger.”
The star went on to admit that she was “convinced” her body was “mimicking pregnancy” when she first started to experience symptoms as she has struggled with a hormonal balance that caused similar effects in the past.
She told the publication: “I took so many tests as I was convinced I wasn’t actually pregnant, but in fact my body was just mimicking a pregnancy. So this time, even when my stomach was a bit swollen, I just thought: ‘Oh hormonal imbalances again.’”
Catherine even thought she could actually be in the early stages of the menopause as she battled night sweats
The former Coronation Street actress explained: “I was having terrible insomnia, which is still with me. I was so hot at night and unable to control my temperature. I started to panic that perhaps I was perimenopausal. I know I would have been a bit young, but it does happen.”
She is also battling hyperemesis gravidarum, an extreme form of pregnancy sickness, which is thankfully under control with the help of medication.
Catherine recently revealed that her return to Corrie was blighted due to filming commitments with ITV drama Viewpoint.
Her character Eva was supposed to come back to support her sister Leanne during her son Oliver’s illness.
She said at the time: “It was so unfortunate that I’d already signed to do Viewpoint and the dates, we just couldn’t make it work.
“As a Corrie fan, I felt like I’d let people down! Because I really – I’m not one of those actresses that will say ‘no I’m done with Corrie I won’t go back’.
“I felt like they presented me with this storyline and I was like ‘oh my gosh yeah of course she’d be there, it’s her sister,’ and I was just really gutted actually that we couldn’t make it work.”
