Bachelor in Paradise star Mary Viturino is gearing up to welcome her second child with Conor Canning very soon, and the mum-to-be has shared a candid new update with fans.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Mary showed off her growing baby bump in two new photos as she reflected on her pregnancy journey so far.

“This time last year I was in NICU with Summer. I’m hoping this time to be able to go full term,” she penned in the caption.

“This pregnancy has not been an easy ride. I’ve been through a lot physically. I had a blood transfusion, iron infusion and might need one more infusion before birth,” she revealed.

“But it will be totally worth it once I have a cute baby to cuddle.”

Friends and fans were quick to flood the comment section with well wishes for the reality TV star, who rose to fame after her stint on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise.

It was in Paradise that Mary met her partner Conor, and the pair welcomed their first child together this time last year.

Along with their one-year-old daughter Summer, the two are also proud parents to Mary’s eight-year-old daughter Chanel.

With another girl on the way, Mary shared her delight in another Instagram post, writing: “Soon we’re going to have another girl to join the Canning crew.”

It comes after Mary and Conor first announced they were expecting in an Instagram post earlier this year, with a photo of themselves cradling Mary’s growing bump.

“I think you guys probably have an idea, but I will just confirm. We are definitely having another baby this year,” Mary penned in the caption.

Conor also followed up with an ultrasound photo of their baby and said: “Another baby Canning on the way. We can’t wait to meet you.”

Since announcing the news, Mary has continued to take fans along with her for the ride as she prepares to welcome her third child.

Earlier this year, the expectant mum shared a photo to Instagram of her blossoming baby bump, and asked fans to “guess how many weeks” she was.

Many theorised that the reality star was around 20 to 25 weeks pregnant at the time, sharing their guesses in the comment section.

With baby number three nearly earthside, fans won’t have to guess any longer as her due date fast approaches, and we’ll get all the details on her new bub.
