TOWIE’s Georgia Kousoulou reveals she’s suffering from back pains in pregnancy Q&A

Georgia Kousoulou detailed her ‘weird but lovely’ pregnancy in an Instagram Q&A on Wednesday evening.

The TOWIE star, 29, who is due to welcome her first child with her boyfriend Tommy Mallett, 28, in May, revealed she’s been suffering from back pains in recent weeks as she insisted: ‘Some days are better than others’.

Mother-to-be Georgia also admitted she’s been eating six meals a day as she’s ‘always starving’, and has already picked out a name for her baby.

Explaining how her body has transformed since falling pregnant, the influencer said: ‘My sciatica has started in the last couple of weeks, it’s so painful. Some days better than others though.

‘I quite like having a bump but it’s starting to get in the way a bit and I’m not even big yet. It’s weird but lovely. I’ve really enjoyed being pregnant, I think it’s such a magical thing.’

Sciatica is a nerve inflammation that affects the lower back and legs, and symptoms may worsen when moving, sneezing or coughing.  

The media personality went on to touch on her eating habits as she told her followers: ‘I feel like nowadays I’m always starving. Normally I have three meals a day but now I’m on six meals. I went off tea but still ate a lot.

‘I’m not worried as it’s the one time in life where you can eat loads. I’m growing a human, so what if I put on weight? I do love a takeaway, but now I’m eating better.’

Georgia – who is expected to reveal her baby’s gender within the next week – added that she and her long-term beau have decided on their child’s moniker, stating: ‘I literally have my baby name, I’m just praying that I don’t go off of it by May.’ 

The TV star later confessed that while she’s ‘excited and nervous for the next journey of my life’, she finds being pregnant in lockdown ‘hard and lonely’ – an experience she’s set to expand on in the coming weeks.

She said: ‘I didn’t think I was ready [to be a mother] and I still don’t know if I am. Are we ever ready? I was super anxious during the first 12 weeks and to be fair, I’ve been super anxious the whole time. I know I’ll be a really good mum and I’ll try my best.’

During the clip, the Dementia UK ambassador – who will return to TOWIE filming in March – also shared her plans to have ‘two or three children with an age gap of two to three years’ and said she aims to move into her new home by March.

Last month, the influencer and her businessman boyfriend, revealed they already know the gender of their baby after having a private Harmony blood test. 

The pair, who have been dating for over six years, have also bagged their own ITVBe spin-off series that will give fans the chance to watch them as they become parents for the first time. 

Unlike some of the show’s couples that have had their relationships plagued with drama, the duo have stood by each other and maintained a strong romance over the years. 

Georgia supported Tommy through his battle with mental health in 2018, when the entrepreneur admitted to not being able to leave the house amid his toughest days. 

While they are not yet engaged, they did discuss the prospect of getting married during the latest series of TOWIE.

Social media star Georgia said: ‘God, I’m with you for the rest of my life, that’s mental isn’t it? Like we’re actually going to be together forever, that’s long.’ 

Tommy added: ‘I come in handy sometimes George. I’m needed in other ways, kids, marriage, you’re not going to get married by yourself, are you?’ to which Georgia replied: ‘No and I am happy about it.’
