'The Bachelor' Star Lauren Bushnell Shows Off Baby Bump In Gorgeous Black Dress

Reality star Lauren Bushnell and her husband, Chris Lane, are looking to expand their family and are taking their fans along!

The country star and actress, who got married in October 2019, announced a week ago that they expect their second child, due in October. SA Their second child will join son Dutton Walker, who turned a year old this month.

Like a lot of mothers, Bushnell is not backing down on being fashionable because of her baby bump. Read on for more details on the reality stars new wardrobe and pregnancy.

Bushnell recently shared a set of videos of herself looking stunning in a black evening gown. The reality star looked beautiful in the outfit with her baby bump adding to the entire look and shape of the gown.

Bushnell announced her pregnancy on June 6 after sharing pictures of herself with a bump, her husband, and one-year-old Dutton.

"Party of 4, coming October 2022. I cannot wait to see you as a big brother, Dutty!" she captioned, per UsWeekly.

In an interview with People, they admitted being shocked about the pregnancy news and that it was a pleasant surprise.

"To be quite honest, I've never been more shocked in my entire life, because this was very much an unexpected surprise," the former "Bachelor" star relayed. "We had planned on having at least two kids, so we're very thankful that it was able to happen for us, even if it wasn't necessarily on our exact timing," she added. "We're both just incredibly excited."

Her husband, Lane, mentioned that the pregnancy has made them "even closer than I thought was possible."

"I've just realized that Lauren and I are literally a perfect fit for each other. I thought that before we had a child, but having a little boy has made me think that even more so, because I just feel like we're a great combination."

On the other hand, Bushnell shared how supportive her husband has been throughout her pregnancy.

"Chris is the most supportive dad and partner I could ask for. He's really hands-on and I very much appreciate that. Especially with him traveling as much as he does for work — when he's home, he just jumps right and takes over so that I can get a little break, which is really nice too."

While they have not checked out the sex of the baby, the country musician and "Bachelor" star are hoping their baby is a girl.

"I'm very excited to find out the sex of our baby because I know Lauren is really wanting a girl. We are both hoping for a daughter so we can stop at number two. We don't want to get outnumbered here."

"I think if we have a girl, we obviously want what the good Lord wants for us, but at the end of the day, I think it'll be easier to stop at two, if it is a girl." However, he added, "If it ends up being a boy, I'm assuming that we will be trying for a third."

He also shared the changes his wife has experienced in her first pregnancy and her second.

"She's been a lot sicker this time around than she was at the first go at it. She ended up in the hospital," Lane explained to UsWeekly about his wife's health, making sure to be optimistic. "And that was a bad day for us, but outside of that, she's holding it together."

The star revealed to her fans that she was recently diagnosed with marginal cord insertion. In this condition, the "umbilical cord attaches to the edge of the placenta versus the middle."

This was after she grew worse and sicker within the first thirteen weeks of her pregnancy. Owing to these symptoms, she had to go to the hospital to figure out what was wrong.

"I was recently diagnosed with something called marginal cord insertion. I was incredibly stressed out when my doctor told me that but I'm trying to stay optimistic. So the concern is that when [the umbilical cord] attaches to the edge, especially later in pregnancy, it can sometimes cause the baby to not get all the nutrients it needs, so it just needs extra monitoring."

She added that she was going to get an ultrasound "every four weeks," which wasn't uncommon as it was just for "monitoring."

Asides from that, the former ABC star shared that baby number two was "very healthy, measuring great, measuring a little bit big if anything.

The pair shared their expectations about their first child, adding that they were looking forward to their first son being a big brother.

"It might be challenging, having two under 2 for a little while there, but I'm just so excited for Dutton to have a sibling. When he sees other babies and other kids, he just does not take his eyes off them. I know he's going to be so happy and so excited and such a good big brother. He's very friendly and very social. He just likes people in general so it's "the more, the merrier" with Dutton."
