Amy Childs' nipples have started leaking.

The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star is just a few weeks away from giving birth to her first child and, although she's thoroughly enjoyed her pregnancy, she's started to see the negatives of carrying a baby as she gets closer and closer to her due date.

Writing in her column for new! magazine, she said: "OMG, my boobs are so heavy and sore. They've even started leaking. I was in the bath the other day and saw a bit of liquid, which I thought was Bio-Oil, but it wasn't - it was watery stuff coming from my nipples! And I can't believe how big they are. They're so heavy and saggy, I've started wearing a nursing bra. It is so much more comfortable than my pretty underwired Rigby and Peller bras! I've also had to ditch my lovely Victoria's Secret underwear for big knickers - it's all about the comfort. Girls, what has happened to me? I keep saying I want to be a glamorous mum and I'm wearing Bridget Jones knickers."

And, although she's only got an estimated five weeks left, the 26-year-old beauty is convinced her little girl, who she is expecting with her boyfriend Bradley Wright, will come early because both she and her brother made their arrivals before their due date.

She explained: "My mum is so huge. And apparently it gets even bigger in the last few weeks! I can really feel my skin starting to tighten and I can feel the weight of the baby - I reckon she's an eight pounder at least! It feels like she's running out of room in there and her kicks are getting stronger and harder. Her foot keeps poking out of my belly - it was so mad when she did it for the first time.

"I've been wearing a maternity slip called The Body Bimp, which gives you support under dresses. I've seen maternity jeans with the extra bit that stretches over your bump, but nothing that supports you while you're wearing a dress. It's so comfy. I know she isn't going to drop out but OMG, sometimes it feels like she is!"
