Laura Anderson has been getting life advice from a psychic ahead of the birth of her first child.
Laura Anderson is leaning on a psychic for support as she prepares for life as a single mum
The 34-year-old former 'Love Island' star is expecting a baby with her ex-boyfriend Gary Lucy and Laura has revealed she's been leaning on a medium for support and he's been helping her change her "mindset" as she prepares to become a first-time mum,
In her column for OK! magazine, she explained: "I speak to my psychic quite often, he's more like a life coach now. He's given me a lot to think about already, it's all about changing the mindset and, honestly, I've found it life-changing.
"I think everyone naturally adapts to the process of growing your baby and then becoming a mother, but it's such a massive life milestone.
"It definitely puts things into perspective. It's a time where you lose control, but it's a beautiful time too."
Laura is single after splitting from her baby's father - 'Hollyoaks' star Gary - following a brief romance, and she's preparing herself for all the challenges that will come with raising a child alone.
She went on to say: "I have respect for every single mum out there, but it's crazy how much strength it takes. I'm 34, I'm well travelled, I'm experienced, and I would say quite mature and resilient, but nothing prepares you for motherhood ...
"It's not just the mental side of it, the physical side of things, it's the realisation that there is a lot that comes with having a baby - it's quite humbling."
One of the things Laura has been doing to prepare for motherhood is moving into a new home with more space and insisted settling down in a new flat has helped make her feel organised ahead of the birth.
She also declared she's planning to be open and honest with fans about her postpartum journey because she wants to show others they aren't going through these things alone.
Laura's baby is due in August.
