Although Northern Irish singer Nadine, 28, revealed her pregnancy, she is yet to confirm who the father is.
It is rumoured to be her on/off boyfriend and former fiancé Jason Bell, who she reportedly reconciled with earlier this year.

Tempestuous: The couple, pictured in May 2012, ended their engagement back in 2011 but have been spotted together on many occasions since
The Irish singer dated the retired American footballer, 35, for three years but announced their split in June 2011.
At the time, Nadine confirmed the news via her Twitter account, writing: 'A few weeks ago Jason and I broke up. We are great friends and decided we are better this way. I'm in NYC working & I love all your support. x.'
But in March this year the pair sparked speculation that they were back together as Jason jetted to the UK to watch her perform with Girls Aloud at London's O2.
During the break in their relationship, the singer began a new romance with club promoter and model Waz Ashayer after meeting at V Festival in 2012, and the pair were reportedly still together in early 2013.

A source confirmed that things were getting serious between the pair after Waz met Nadine's family in January, but they are thought to have split not long after, although this was never confirmed.
'Waz met Nadine's parents and one of her sisters and they were pretty impressed with him,' a source told The People at the time.
The former Popstar: The Rivals star previously dated actor Jesse Metcalfe, but the couple split back in 2006.
All over: Girls Aloud performed together for the last time this year during their Hits tour, later announcing their split
Following the end of the band's farewell tour and the split announcement, Nadine alluded to the fact that she'd had a 'wild' few months.
At the beginning of August, she wrote on Twitter: 'Haaaiiiiiiiiii,,,,, I have had the wildest few months. No joke, since the end of the GA tour, wild I tell you, WILD!!!!!! Loads of luv.. Xxx.'
Although her debut album Insatiable didn't do as well as expected when it was released back in 2010, Nadine announced in April this year that she's currently working on her follow-up.
