Now Montana has opened up in a candid question and answer session with fans.
One quizzed: “Was your pregnancy planned?” to which the business owner replied: “@pippacampbell_health did all these amazing tests which was really insightful and helped me understand why it was taking longer than it should.”
Later in the chat, she further opened up and told how she had been “trying for a little bit.”
She spoke to her Stories and said: “I guess the main thing that was important which I wished I had done a bit earlier was the hormone test.”
Montana then told how this had showed low levels of testosterone and oestrogen in her body, which prompted her to be put on a series of supplements.
She told fans to then “understand where your body is at and what your body needs.”
On Christmas Eve, Montana shared her happy baby news in an adorable video with boyfriend Mark O’Connor, 29.
Montana, who shot to fame on the popular ITV2 show in 2017, revealed the moment she found out she was pregnant alongside snaps of the couple on a recent holiday, with Montana showing off her baby bump in a bikini.
She captioned her clip: “Baby O’Connor coming next summer 
”
In the video, Montana documents the first months of her pregnancy, with the adorable clip starting off with ‘Baby O’Connor’ written in the sand on a beach.
It also shows the reality star having her first scan as the soon-to-be parents hear their baby’s heartbeat for the first time.
The happy couple looked loved up as her baby bump continues to grow.
Montana went official with Mark, who is a rugby player-turned real estate agent, last year.
The hunk, who played for Chiswick and Wales 1st Teams, tends to keep his personal life out of the public eye.
According to their pals, the pair first met each other at one of the gym’s Mark owns during the second national Coronavirus lockdown.
The Love Island alumni told how she later underwent hormone tests which showed her oestrogen levels were low
