Dr Farah explained: “The ‘lumps’ seen on Meghan’s bump are likely CTG monitors — short for cardiotocography — which are used to track the baby’s heartbeat and contractions.

“These monitors are held in place with elastic straps, which can sometimes show as bumps under clothing.”

She reassured that this is completely normal, especially in hospital settings when someone, like Meghan, is near or past their due date.

Dr Farah also addressed Meghan’s movements, saying that a heavily pregnant woman can absolutely move like that, and even dancing — as Meghan appears to do — can be both safe and beneficial, provided there are no medical concerns.

“Gentle movements like swaying or dancing can help position the baby correctly for birth and may ease discomfort,” she said. “It might also naturally encourage contractions, although it’s not a guaranteed method to start labour.”

Regarding Meghan’s squatting motions in the video, Dr Farah confirmed this can be useful in late pregnancy: “It helps open the pelvis, which may assist the baby in moving down into position.”

According to Meghan’s Instagram post, she had already tried walking, spicy food, and acupuncture before resorting to dancing.

Dr Farah responded to those methods, saying: “Walking can definitely help if the baby is already low — it promotes movement and may trigger contractions.”

However, she added that spicy food is “more myth than proven,” though some believe it works. “It’s thought to stimulate the gut, which might irritate the uterus, but it doesn’t work for everyone.”

As for acupuncture, Dr Farah noted that there’s some evidence supporting its use in late pregnancy, especially for pain relief and relaxation, but more studies are needed to prove its effectiveness for starting labour.
