Billie buys a sensible maternity dress as birth date looms large


Pregnant actress Billie Piper opted for a sensible maternity dress as she took a stroll through her hometown of Swindon today. The 26-year-old, who is seven months pregnant with her first child with husband Lawrence Fox, looked glowing as she showed off her baby bump.
It was a far cry from the racy sheer grey dress the Doctor Who star wore to attend an engagement at Capital Radio last month when her growing belly could clearly be seen through the revealing lightweight frock which left little to the imagination.Billie was previously married to DJ Chris Evans for six years before the pair divorced last year. She wed Lawrence on New Year's Eve last year in Easebourne, West Sussex.

Speaking about her pregnancy recently, Billie revealed she is mildly apprehensive about the birth, and has become fanatical about having scans.
'Some women are all about this glowing, blooming thing, aren't they?' she said.
'I haven't really tapped into that. I've basically replaced all my vices for a new one - control. 'I've had about 10 scans and I bought one of those baby heart monitor things. Such a bad idea - its like listening to a huge shell on the beach.'But I do love it.
The whole thing is just so sweet, tender and adorable.'
