Imogen Thomas says she hates her pregnant body - as she poses in bra and knickers

Weight gain, stretch marks, swollen breasts and cellulite - all things a pregnant woman can expect their body to go through during pregnancy. Even so, these changes seem to have come as something as a shock to five months pregnant Imogen Thomas, who tells this week's Now magazine that she feels she's 'lost control' of her body, and that she hates the weight she is putting on.
To illustrate her point, Imogen poses in her bra and knickers for magazine, while bemoaning her baby-on-board state.
"I'm putting on weight on my sides and I've got bingo wings," she says, "It's depressing."
And if that wasn't enough, poor Imo is totally fed up with her huge bosoms, too.
"I hate how big they are. I'm now an F. If they stay this massive, I'll get them reduced," she says, as the picture accompanying her words shows her breasts spilling out of a balconette style white bra. (We'd recommend a trip to Mothercare for a fitting for a wire-free cotton one, love - much more comfy)
"They've drooped enough as it is already. I bought two new bras recently and I walked out crying," the glamour model laments.

"I always said if I got pregnant I'd love a big belly, so I'd say that," she reveals when asked what she DOES like about being pregnant.
The mum-to-be -who is due to give birth early in 2013 - says she is desperate to be a 'yummy mummy' and will be on a mission to get back into shape as soon as her baby is born.
"I want my size 10 body back within four weeks. As soon as the baby's born, I'll be on a diet and working out like mad every single day as much as I can. I want to be a yummy mummy," she tells the mag.
Hmmm. We're not quite sure how those workout plans will fit in with a demanding newborn baby, but best of luck Imogen!

That's the only bit that has changed! It's a bit…nicer,” she said. “I'm going to keep on going through this pregnancy. You've got to keep your man happy. If not he will go somewhere else!” Revolting.

But I've tried everything, I've tried the hot food, the running, the sex, the violence, I've tried it all,” Mel said just days before her new arrival made her grand entrance. “It just seems to be stuck and hibernating in there getting bigger and bigger, so it's coming out this week for sure!” And you know what, <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2011/09/02/mel-b-has-baby/" target="_blank">she was right!</a></p>

- Katherine Heigl's baby poo nightmare<p> American actress Katherine Heigl was probably wondering where the Hollywood glamour had gone when she found herself struggling to change her toddler, Naleigh’s nappy on a flight. After changing her little girl in the plane’s loo, she went to her seat, only to find her little lady’s smelly bot was lingering throughout the cabin! “It was brutal. I was like, 'What did you eat?'” says Katherine. “I had to walk back to get her because she was sitting with the nanny and trying to sleep and that whole plane smelled really bad. I had to wake her up because it was just really mean to all the people around her. Now I'm so committed to potty training!”</p>
- Kendra Wilkinson shares post-baby sex sessions<p> It seems childbirth wasn’t enough to put Girl of the Playboy Mansion Kendra Wilkinson off nookie.

This was, like, five weeks after. We were like, 'I guess we have to be honest. Yes, we did!” shared Kendra. Nice.</p>

Speaking about the changes to her body throughout her pregnancies, the 90201 star said: “I wasn’t prepared for losing sight of my lower region. I’d say, ‘Dean, how’s it looking down there? Do I need to shave?’ But of course I couldn’t shave. So Dean had to shave me. He’d hold up a mirror and say ‘How’d I do?’ Or he’d take a picture with his Blackberry to show me.” Please, please keep those pictures to yourselves guys, TwitPic really wasn’t designed for that….</p>
