Pregnant Shelby Tribble reveals her baby has started kicking

She is expecting her first child, a boy, with partner Sam Mucklow.

And pregnant Shelby Tribble has revealed that her baby has started kicking for the first time in a sweet post on Thursday.

The former TOWIE star, 27, took to Instagram to share a glowing snap of her growing bump as she posed in her mirror.

Shelby looked radiant as she showcased her pregnancy body in a white bodycon mini dress with a beige fluffy cardigan draped over her shoulders. 

The reality star styled her brunette locks into a sleek straightened hairdo and added a slick of glamorous make-up. 

Shelby penned: ‘How amazing is it to feel your baby kicking inside you, I used to think it would feel so weird but now I’m experiencing it I love it so much and love seeing his daddy feel it to,’ followed by a heart emoji.

It comes after the reality star penned an emotional message about her experience with pregnancy on Instagram earlier this month.

The former TOWIE star gave up the TV show last year to focus on her romance with Sam.  

Shelby showed off her blossoming bump in white lingerie as she reflected on how proud she is of ‘how far I’ve come considering I was in such a s**t place not so long ago’.

The reality star revealed to fans she hasn’t experienced any morning sickness and feels she is just as ‘clueless’ as those asking her for pregnancy advice because she is a first-time mum. 

Shelby wrote: ‘You make my heart so happy. I’ve had a lot of mums asking me for advice but I’m going to be completely honest with you it’s my first baby and I’m just as clueless. 

‘I’m such a laid back person I just take each day as it comes to avoid adding too much stress on me and more importantly the baby ( don’t get me wrong I have my odd days but it’s not as often as I thought and I’m sure pregnancy hormones can play a part ). 

‘I’ve been lucky to have supportive family and friends around me to give me tips, tricks and advice. Also I’ve been so lucky because I’ve had a really good pregnancy with no sickness and felt really well in myself.’

Shelby looked at how being pregnant has helped her self esteem.  

She wrote: ‘I’m so proud of how far I’ve come considering I’ve been in such a s**t place not so long ago but now I can say I’ve never felt happiness like this in a such long time and that’s all thanks to you baby boy for helping your mummy realise I’m stronger than I give myself credit for. 

‘For so long I’ve had such low self esteem, confidence and always doubted myself with anything and everything but now I’m starting to feel I have a purpose in life and this baby will be the making of me.

‘I’m not really an open book and like to stay quite closed but now and again when I feel I can open up I will try and contribute to helping others because I know it can mean so much.

‘I’m so excited for my baby boy to arrive I know it will be hard but it will be sooooo worth it. To all those beautiful mums/mums to be you are incredible keep being amazing’. 

Shelby and Sam, 28, revealed they were expecting a baby boy by throwing a gender reveal party earlier this year.

The couple famously had a fiery on-off friends with benefits relationship on TOWIE, but decided to give things a go last year. 

Their romance has gone from strength-to-strength, with the pair moving in together and referenced their want to have children in the near future.
