Great British Bake Off star Laura Adlington has shared her feelings with fans on social media after admitting to finding one aspect of her pregnancy especially difficult
The Great British Bake Off star Laura Adlington has been sharing further updates on her pregnancy on social media. The TV personality has admitted to finding the shape of her growing baby bump a bit unusual as she described how it has her feeling “really bothered.”
Laura, 36, took to Instagram to update her followers as she admitted feeling a little dismayed over the matter. She shared on the social media platform, “I’ll be honest, I’ve been struggling a little bit the last couple of months of not having the perfect bump like all the girls on Pinterest. So I have, and have always had, a B shaped belly.”
Laura then lifted up her striped maxi dress to show her followers what she was talking about as she indicated that the lower half of her stomach had become “much firmer”, but there was still a very visible “B shape” with a notably softer bit at the bottom.

Laura continued, “I’d be lying if I said it didn’t really bother me sometimes, but I’m trying to be kind to myself and remind myself that my body is doing amazing things and it’s okay for it to look like my body while it’s doing them.
“I’m also trying to remind myself that just as all bodies are good bodies, as I’ve been bleating on about for years, all bumps are good bumps.”
She then wrote in the caption, “Being pregnant can sometimes feel great and sometimes utterly BLEURGHH, but it ALWAYS feels like a privilege. Please don’t think I’m complaining as I’m not. Just being honest about navigating my body changing and growing.”
She sent a message of support to others in the same situation as she concluded, “Hope this helps anyone in the same boat.”
Fans rushed to comment on the post and heap praise on her as they reminded her that she “looks fab” and should just enjoy her pregnant body while she has it.
One fan shared, “I didn’t think my bump was cute and did not take a single picture,” as they added, “Now that my sweet girl is here I so wish I had documented her in my belly.Take the pics – all bumps are cute bumps!”
A second commented, “I’ve never heard the term ‘B shaped’ before but that’s what I have!!” A third social media user posted, “More pronounced now due to menopause weight hitting above my waistline. Thank you for helping me give a name to my shape!”
A fourth wrote, “As a fellow B Belly, who had the very same feelings when I was pregnant, I say yes to all of this. You’re doing amazingly well and your body is rocking it!”
A fifth said, “My son (now a strapping 15 year old) is my only child and I still deeply regret not taking photos of my pregnancy because I hated my body so much. You are amazing and defying all odds to create a new human. Thank you for sharing.”
