Stacey Solomon: 'I'll get back to a size 8!'

Stacey Solomon is definitely a bride-to-be who knows what she wants…

Although being happily engaged, Stacey refuses to walk down the aisle just yet without getting rid of her baby weight.

The vixen mum-to-be, who was a size 8 pre-baby bump, suspects her wedding will be in summer 2013 and she hopes to shed her now size 12 figure down before her big day.

The former X Factor starlet endured an excruciating 37-hour labour with her 3-year-old son, Zach, and it seems she is not enjoying her pregnancy with her second child to fiancé Aaron Barnham, 24.

Aaron popped the question to Stacey in December during a romantic horse and carriage ride in New York.

The happy couple revealed their joyous news of her pregnancy in October 2011 and they have been recently seen shopping in various baby shops.

The 22-year-old said: ‘The novelty wears off after a few months. I can’t wait to be a normal size again – and eat prawns.’

She openly admits that her hips widen as soon as she becomes pregnant but despite this she is in no rush to drop the baby weight too quickly.

‘I’m not one of these people who believes in leaving the hospital and being a size zero because I won’t. I’ll be this size for a few months.’

The Essex girl reportedly struggled with post-natal depression for months with Zach and she anxiously hopes this does not happen with baby number two.

The devoted mother reassures herself that: ‘...even if it does happen again, at least now I know that eventually it will be fine.’

The working-mum aims to be back to work within six to eight weeks of giving birth.
