Strictly Come Dancing star Janette Manrara is poised to welcome her first child, and on Tuesday, the dancer shared a very candid glimpse inside her pregnancy journey.
Janette, who has been suffering from pelvic girdle pain, was quick to share a fresh update over on her Instagram Stories. "Hi team! Been quiet as been feeling a little rough the past two days, and so I'm listening to my body and just resting," she penned.
"We are well and in the final countdown for the little one's arrival. Lots of movies, TV series, reading, and moving between the couch and bed mostly accompanied by short walks (it's all I can really do right now [laughing face emoji])."
She finished by adding: "Sending you all my love on this gorgeous Tuesday [white heart emoji]."

Earlier this month, Janette received an official diagnosis after she went to see a doctor about her ongoing back pain and persistent exhaustion.
Sharing her diagnosis online, the Miami-born dancer wrote: "I had an official diagnosis and it's pelvic girdle pain. Apparently, it affects 20 per cent of women during pregnancy so if you felt it, you know what I'm going through.

She finished by adding: "But thanks for checking in. All is good. I'm doing alright. Last night was a better night so I got a bit of sleep."

"To many more years of adventures, love, and laughter together. I love you w/ all my heart and feel so lucky that our little one and myself get to have you forever."
