She also shared a photo of her scan, adding: "Lots of people have said my bump is very small, and it really is measuring at 2% instead of 20%.

"But thankfully baby is exactly where she needs to be today despite my tummy size. Every pregnancy, every bump and every baby is different."

Stacey added that people should stop making comments about other people's bumps, saying: "As kind as people are I think sometimes it's important to remember when telling someone they look 'big' or 'small' or anything inbetween it can be so worrying for the mummy growing a human and why they look so different to someone else.
