The influencer highlighted how neonatal units have become more advanced for premature children.

The WAG said: ‘OMG everyone we have hit a huge milestone!!! 24 weeks viability! Well done baby girl! You are a fighter! At 24 weeks baby has a chance of survival if they are born. 

‘Most babies born before this time cannot live because their lungs and other vital organs are not developed enough. The care that can now be given in baby (neonatal) units means more and more babies born early do survive.’ (sic)

The media personality went on to update her followers with an image of her growing bump and her hospital bag.

‘Oh it’s beginning to become real. Just slowly getting organised for my hospital bag. #ivfpregnancy #ivfcommunity #ivfwarrior #pregnancy #babygirl.’ (sic)

Sportsman Alex, 34, who is the ex-husband of Katie Price, also shares an eight-year-old daughter Dolly, with former partner Chantelle Houghton. 

The pair had originally conceived twins, but sadly one of the babies died in December. 

At the time, Nikki explained to MailOnline that she is ‘balancing sadness with happiness’ after finding out she and Alex had lost one twin at her seven-and-a-half-week scan at Harley Street Fertility Clinic, in London, on December 2.

She said: ‘I haven’t planned on ever having twins – who does? But once I was pregnant with two babies I wanted them both so much. 

‘I had started planning to move to a new house in the countryside and visualised and dreamed of two babies growing up together.

 ‘I felt like all this hard work had paid off and I had two amazing babies at the end of a very dark sad tunnel.’
