Love Island fans think pregnant Laura Anderson hinted at baby’s gender
After sharing the gorgeous photo of her standing in front of beautiful sunset she wrote: "Cue the bump police.
"To the people that have some weirdly negative connotation with woman cradling their baby bump- I unfortunately will be growing a human inside of me for the next 5months and will more than likely not know where else to put my hands in a photo.
'"If this causes anyone severe distress or discomfort, please seek professional help or just get a bloody life.
"It is quite disturbing the amount of trolling a pregnant woman receives just by breathing these days."'I’m not sure if people realise the stress they can cause BOTH parties. I know I’ve felt it, especially while going through a distressing break up which nobody actually knows the truth about.

Laura's post comes after she was mum-shamed earlier this week, after being accused of using her bump as ‘a tool’.
It was after she posted a stunning video of her showcasing her growing stomach in a very revealing outfit.
Laura said: "I hope we can be best friends 🤍."
However one fan took to the comments section to criticise the star's posts.
They said: "Can appreciate you’re full of hormones and in love with your bump. You’ll be a good mum, Buddy can vouch for that.
"Please don’t use your child as a marketing accessory. I have so much respect for ‘celebrities’ who don’t ever show their kids face on social media, protecting their kids at vulnerable ages.
"Maybe have a private Instagram to share your little one with close friends and family and another for your ‘influencing’. Its your (and the father’s) choice of course. Wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy."
Others shared how much they think pregnancy suits her.
A second chimed in: "You are absolutely GLOWING!"
"Wow, you look just amazing ! X x," a third added.
A fourth commented: "Baby love 💕 this is so cute and your bump is beautiful 😍."
Laura revealed the happy news that she is pregnant last month.
