Caggie Dunlop Welcomes Baby Girl, Feels ‘Overwhelmed with Love and Tiredness’

Made In Chelsea original Caggie Dunlop revealed she’s given birth to a baby girl. 

Taking to Instagram on Monday, she shared a gallery of pictures of herself while still heavily pregnant and penned: ‘These were the last pictures taken of me pregnant.

‘I gave birth to our baby girl on Wednesday morning, Our hearts are exploding with love ♥️. And I’m completely overwhelmed by the tiredness.

‘The initiation into motherhood has been unlike anything I could have imagined. I’m just trying to keep my head above water. I’ll share more in the coming days, but for now, we’re deep in the ‘newborn trenches,’ as they say.

‘Everyone told me to take photos while pregnant because I’d regret it if I didn’t. At the time, I really didn’t feel like being in front of a camera… but I’m so glad we captured these, the day before she arrived.’

She continued: ‘I already miss her being in my belly—the safety, the unity. It’s been replaced with a constant undercurrent of worry and anxiety. I remember someone once described this part as “your heart now living outside your chest”—and I’m learning what that really means.

‘Every cry pierces deeply. Every feed touches a part of you you didn’t know existed.

‘It’s a brutal awakening, a maddening kind of magic. I can’t believe I’m a mum.♥️’

The star, who appeared on the E4 show for three series before leaving in 2012, had revealed she was set to welcome a baby with her boyfriend, who she has not named, back in February.

Caggie shared the happy news alongside a video documenting the first months of her ‘surreal’ pregnancy journey, admitting she’s ‘in awe of her body and what women do and create.’

She also shared that she and her boyfriend were keeping her baby’s gender a ‘surprise’, and they ‘cannot wait’ to meet them.

Her caption read: ‘Our little spirit baby is on the way. In May!! Another Taurus, like me.

‘It still feels surreal to say. Pregnany has been a wild ride, and in just three months, we’ll be meeting this new little soul. I keep looking at my tummy grow and am in awe of my body and of women and what we do and what we create, It’s pure magic.

‘I’ve been taking things day by day, learning as I go. There’s so much information out there about pregnancy and motherhood, what you should or shouldn’t do, that it can feel overwhelming, so I’ve instinctively kept this time quiet and sacred and trusted in my body and what it’s telling me. But now, I’m excited to share it with you all.

‘I’m really enjoying this stage of pregnancy (despite the insomnia and perpetual tiredness!). 

‘The kicks are especially wonderful, especially when we sing to the baby and it starts kicking around. 

‘We’ve decided to keep the gender a surprise so we are constantly guessing and wondering who this little person will be… what we do know if that whoever they are, they are already deeply loved and we cannot wait to meet them.’

Many of Caggie’s former Made In Chelsea co-stars offered their congratulations in the comments, with Millie Mackintosh writing: ‘I can’t wait to meet him or her!! So so happy for you.’

Hugo Taylor wrote: ‘Love ya,’ while Emma Louise Connolly, who is married to MIC star Ollie Proudlock, gushed: ‘the best.’ 

Caggie shot to fame on MIC when the show launched over ten years ago as she joined the likes of Spencer Matthews, Hugo Taylor and Millie Mackintosh in the original line up.

She had  kept her love life relatively under wraps since leaving Made In Chelsea in 2012 after three series on the E4 show but does share the rare loved-up snap with her current partner, who she has not named.
