The Geordie Shore star, 36, and her boyfriend Jordan Brook, 30, announced they are expecting their first child together just earlier last week.
And taking to her Instagram page on Thursday, the reality star opened up about the first ‘rough’ few weeks, where she felt ‘guilty’ for not being able to enjoy being pregnant.
Sophie displayed her growing baby bump in a pink striped bodysuit while posing for a mirror selfie, accompanying her carousel of pictures with an emotional message.
She penned: ‘First trimester files. To say I was surviving and just trying to get through is an understatement.
‘Wow them first few weeks are rough. Why did no one warn me about them …. I don’t think I left the sofa in days and cudnt keep my eyes open longer than a hour. [sic]’
Sophie continued: ‘The diet! After being so healthy to conceive I just cudnt stomach anything but beige! I 100% struggled them few weeks and didn’t prepare myself as no one ever mentioned how hard it was.
‘I felt so guilty after trying to fall pregnant for years and going through it all I just cudnt enjoy them first few weeks I actually felt really down. Thank god I came out the trenches and feel much better!
‘The over testing too I just didn’t thing it was real! I think Bella was the first to know I was pregnant before I did! Dogs sense are so strong!
‘Anyways I’m feeling a lot better thank god and finally feel more like me! ✨. [sic]’
The MTV icon also shared a sweet mirror selfie with Jordan as he stamped a kiss on her forehead.
Elsewhere, Sophie showcased her blossoming baby bump in a grey top and leggings, adding a black hoodie.
Revealing the joyful news, the soon-to-be-parents looked more loved-up than ever as they hung a bauble on their Christmas tree which read: ‘Merry Christmas Mummy and Daddy. See you in 2026.’
The video began with the couple wrapping a present last year and placing it under their Christmas tree.
They wrote: ‘Last year, Sophie and Jordan clutched onto an old wives’ tale, carefully wrapping a baby blanket and placing it under their tree, in the hope that 2025 would be their year.’
The video transitioned to the pair dressed to the nines in a glamorous figure hugging red dress showcasing her baby bump and Jordan wearing a tuxedo as they danced by their Christmas tree.
Sophie also shared clips of her holding up her positive pregnancy test and another video of Jordan finding out for the first time as his jaw dropped before the pair broke down in tears of joy.
The couple also shared a video of their sonogram and Jordan sweetly kissing Sophie’s growing baby bump.
The announcement video concluded with the message, ‘Baby Brook Due 2026’.
Sophie penned: ‘The most magical gift. Merry Christmas from the three of us’.
Jordan took to the comments and added: ‘My darling girl. I am so proud of you. I am so proud of us. We never lost hope, and through our toughest battle has come the most incredible blessing. I love you and that bump more than anything in the world’.
It comes after Sophie gave an update on her fertility struggles in September after she suffered a chemical pregnancy while trying for a baby with Jordan.
A chemical pregnancy is a very early pregnancy loss that usually happens just after the embryo implants.
The Geordie Shore star and Jordan took a new step in their journey to becoming parents as they have started a new form of therapy.
Sophie revealed she had started Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy (LIT), which ‘involves analysing a patient’s immune system and administering appropriate immune therapy’, according to The Fertility And Gynaecology Academy.
Taking to Instagram, the TV personality penned: ‘After 28 months our fertility journey continues.
‘Today we are heading to @fertilysis to start our first round of Lit therapy amongst other treatments. Our biggest leap forwards on our journey in what feels like forever.
‘As a team we are taking every day, week and month as it comes. We will not give up. Thank you to every single friend, member of our families and everyone else who continues to reach out with kind words and support it really does mean the world.
‘To those who are also in the same boat. Keep going. Keep communicating and keep exploring.’
