But before falling pregnant with her son Sonny Jude, the soap star suffered from a miscarriage.
Talking to OK! about the heartbreaking experience, Lucy said: “I had pregnancy symptoms and felt really unwell. There were no signs I’d had a miscarriage, and we assumed everything was going to be fine, which made it more of a shock when they said I’d miscarried.
“But even though it was an awful time, if we hadn’t gone through the miscarriage, we wouldn’t have Sonny now.
“It kind of feels like it was all meant to be because if it hadn’t happened, he wouldn’t be him.
“If I could go back, I’d tell myself it’s all going to work out how it’s meant to and, in a year’s time, you’ll feel so much better.”
Lucy also opened up about her birth experience, which lasted over 24 hours.
The actress was given an epidural and put on a hormone drip to help, but Sonny’s head kept going back in between contractions.

She welcomed Sonny into the world with the help of a ventouse and had to have stitching.
Recalling the moment, she said: “He had a mirrored light and I could see everything!”
“I tried not to look – it was like a crime scene, it was freaking me out. There were loads of tissues soaked in blood.
“The stitches are the part you don’t prepare for. Going to the toilet for the first time was so painful.”
Just two weeks after giving birth, Lucy returned to work on February 13th.
Sharing a snap of her in the car, she wrote: “A one off ‘back to work day’ today.”
The new mum revealed her happy news on Instagram earlier this month.
Sharing a snap of herself with Ryan and Sonny, she wrote: “Our beautiful boy. 🤍30/01/2023🤍.”
The couple went official with their relationship in May 2021.
Lucy was previously dated insurance manager Tom Leech between 2017 and 2020.
