At a doctor’s visit this week, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were warned they could be meeting their first child sooner than expected.
But while the first time parents remain hopeful their son will wait for his October due date, they will at least be prepared should the baby make an early arrival.
The couple were spoiled with gifts from friends and family – and a smattering of semi-famous reality stars – as they celebrated Heidi’s pregnancy with a luxury baby shower last week.

At a routine doctor’s appointment on Wednesday, the couple were warned that Heidi was already beginning to dilate – a sign that the body is readying for labour.
With the mother-to-be two weeks from full term and five weeks from her due date, the couple were shocked at the news.
The former Hills star took to her Instagram page to reveal the unexpected news, remarking: ‘Well this doctor visit was a little different to what I thought.
‘I’m about 1cm dilated and we’re just hoping he doesn’t come too early.’

Turning to her reality star beau, Heidi then asked Spencer if he was feeling alright, to which he jokingly replied: ‘Gnarly.’
He added: ‘Stay in That Belly, Boy!’
Heidi then shared her news once again via Twitter, as she told her followers: ‘Well… looks like this baby will be coming early,’ before being inundated with well-wishes from fans.

She is set to welcome a baby boy with Spencer in the next few weeks – the pair had revealed the gender of their unborn child in May, earlier this year.
And in an earlier video shared to her Instagram story, the former Celebrity Big Brother star suggested that her baby had previously been breech or back to back, as she revealed he is now in ‘optimum birthing position’.
‘All my pool work paid off,’ she said excitedly while undergoing her latest baby scan, adding: ‘He has officially flipped!’
