And, speaking to the Made By Mammas podcast, Louisa explained: You are pregnant so everyone around you feels like this is the best news possible.

The soap star, who is now at 34 weeks, said: 'I am through the first hurdle which was the sickness phase which lasted about three months which I think is quite normal for people isn't it.

'Now I am just at that final stretch of: "I am nearly there. Come on baby!" I am willing it to come early.

She said: 'I have not really thought about what is happening to me. 'All of a sudden I am not working and I have got all this time on my hands. And I am driving myself mental about the labour.

'Now I am going backwards again. I think it is because I know it is coming and it is coming soon. At the moment the baby is back to back and I am worried about that

'It is quite big. It is on the chart quite big so I am worried about that. That is why I just need it to happen soon. So I can stop freaking myself out about that stuff.'
