MEGAN McKenna flashed her baby bump in a cute crochet cardigan as she admitted she would “miss” her pregnancy curves when she gave birth.
The mum-to-be has been enjoying a sun-soaked baby-moon with her footballer fiance Oliver Burke, 27.
Megan, 31, has documented the special getaway on her Instagram and recently showcased a fresh selection of snaps taken in a lush garden.
She wore her nude top unbuttoned at the bottom to expose her growing belly peeking out.
The TOWIE alumni finished her look with a black maxi trousers and matching designer handbag.
Megan styled her shoulder-length brunette locks into loose waves and kept her make-up natural for her night out in the tropical resort.
She posed front-on for the camera before snuggling into Ollie, donning a patterned co-ord, for a separate shot.
In her caption she wrote: “Baby mumma… Think I’m gonna miss my bump when it’s gone.
“Who thinks us pregnant gals should embrace the bump with evening outfits???”
One follower mused: “I personally think it’s a private thing between a couple and doesn’t look nice at all for all to see,” yet the reality TV star was quick to clap back.
She said: “I’m proud to show my bump it’s our little human growing!! X”
Another follower shared: “You won’t miss [your bump] because you can always grow another one xx”
Megan, teasing she wanted to grow her family further, added: “This will be happening.”

“What’s the best cot? Best feeding chair? Best nappy bin? There’s so many to choose. Also as I’m doing my research I defo want an all natural birth.
“Can’t believe I’m saying that… but I’m not keen on the epidural.
“Gas & air will have to be the way forward (I know this may not be the way but this is what I would love…).”
