Millie Mackintosh posted a nude pregnancy throwback on Wednesday as she gave her advice to expectant mothers.
The mother-of-two, 34, who shares daughters Sienna, three, and Aurelia, two, with her husband Hugo Taylor, invited her Instagram followers to ask her questions.
And uploading a photo of herself from when she was pregnant, Millie could been seen posing for a mirror selfie as she showed off her bare baby bump.
One person had asked: ‘I’ve just found out I’m pregnant. Do you have any first trimester advice?’
‘Rest when you can and say yes to all the beige food if that is what you are craving! I found the What To Expect book really helpful,’ Millie replied.

Millie and Hugo tied the knot in June 2018 at Whithurst Park in West Sussex, one year after he proposed during a holiday to the Greek island of Mykonos.
They welcomed their first child together, daughter Sienna Grace in May 2020 and had their second daughter Aurelia Violet in November 2021.
Recently, Millie shared a naked picture of herself crying in the bath as she admitted she’s been ‘struggling to deal with a tough few months’.
The former Made In Chelsea star shared a gallery of pictures with her followers on Instagram on Thursday which let followers into the anxieties on motherhood and the difficulties she faced with body image she had been experiencing.
She could be seen resting her head on her hand as her mascara-stained eyes looked away from the camera.
She revealed in the post that although the last few months have been tough, she is on the other side and putting in work to feel good.
She wrote: ‘Social media can sometimes be fake. Here are some truths about me.’
The former fashion label owner admitted she worries she’s not getting motherhood right when she resorts to turning on her TV for her kids when she loses her patience.

The star shared her worries that she finds activities such as soft play over stimulating and worries that depriving her child of going there, makes her a bad mother
She also said she finds messy play ‘difficult at home’, and soft play ‘really overstimulating’ because it sends her into a spiral but feels bad because the children love it.
She said; ‘I don’t want to look back and think I was too busy cleaning up after them than playing. I don’t always feel like I’m being the mum I want to be.’
She told her followers: ‘I’ve become more aware of the negative thoughts I have about my body.
‘I know we’re all different and that’s what makes us all so special but some days I get caught up in a spiral of negative thoughts and comparisons to others.
‘I’m working on it in therapy as I want to be kinder to myself and feel good again.’
‘I love that I get to travel and see new places with work but the mum guilt always creeps in. When I’m working, I feel bad that I’m not at home with the girls but when I’m at home with the girls, I feel bad that I’m not working.’
Millie has previously said she has made peace with having a quieter life as this phase won’t last forever
The star shared the practices which have helped her make a come-back, revealing she rarely goes out in the evenings to prioritise her sleep and early mornings with her kids, over her social life.
Millie recently divulged one of her main methods for making positive change in her life in an article for Grazia last month.
She uses ‘habit stacking’, meaning adding mindful and self-care activities alongside her daily routines, like swapping doom-scrolling with positive affirmations, brushing her body to help circulation as runs her bath, or integrating cold water plunges into her day.
She wrote: ‘2024 is most definitely my self-development era. Focusing on being the best version of myself, both mentally and physically.’
