The 34-year-old reality star is due to give birth to her and boyfriend Charles Drury's first child this summer and she recently found out the gender of her unborn tot and couldn't be happier to know she'll have her own "mini-me" soon.
She told new! magazine: "I’m a girls’ girl, so it’s amazing for me. I love the fact I’m having a little girl – my little girl. I can dress her how I want and do all the girly things.
"People say, 'I couldn’t see you with a boy.' But I do really want a boy as well, I’m just really happy I’m having a girl – a mini-me!"
But Lauren wasn't surprised to have the news confirmed in an ultrasound because a fortune teller had already told her she'd have a daughter.
She added: "I knew, didn’t I?! I didn’t know, but I knew. I would have been more shocked if it was a boy. When she said I was having a girl it just confirmed what I thought I knew.
"I’ve been to fortune tellers and they’ve always told me I’m having a girl, so I’ve always assumed I’m having a girl. When it got confirmed, I was really happy and excited... I’m going to be very protective. She’s going to be a little diva."
The former 'Only Way is Essex' star may have been convinced she was having a girl, but she still thought there had been a mistake when the sonographer told her after her scan.
She said: “The private scan is real but when you go to the hospital scan [at 20 weeks] they check everything is how it should be and check everything in depth.
“I kept saying, ‘Is it definitely a girl?’ And she [the nurse] said, ‘I haven’t checked that bit yet.’
“But I thought I could see a ball bag in the scan!
“She’s really strong and really active on the scans – she kicks about, waves about and sunbathes. My blood tests also came back amazing.”
Lauren is very excited about the future.
She said: “I’m really excited to be a mum and start this next chapter of my life – I believe I’m going to be a good mum.”
