With this second pregnancy taking so long to arrive after a failed IVF procedure and suffering three miscarriages, the actress has decided to make up for lost time and show off her belly proudly. 

The Blast shared that she recently reminded fans about her hotness despite her baby bump by dancing to music on her Instagram stories.
