In July, Natalie announced she was pregnant with her first child, after undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) with the help of a sperm donor.
IVF is a process where the egg and sperm are combined outside of the body and left to fertilise for several days, before it is implanted into the uterus.
At the time, she told her fans on social media: "For those of you who know me, this has been something I have wanted for a very long time.
"I'm blessed that this is possible with the help of IVF and a sperm donor."
