Lily Allen 'creative during pregnancy'

Lily Allen is apparently feeling very "creative" during her pregnancy.

The British singer is currently expecting another child after giving birth to her daughter Ethel in November last year. After taking a break from her music career, Lily is working on a new album. It has been reported that the prospect of expanding her family has been a source of inspiration for her.

"She's is working hard to finish her new album... she's found being pregnant has helped her song-writing," a source told the latest edition of British magazine Closer. "Combined with her love for Ethel, the creative juices were flowing."

The 27-year-old star is married to property developer Sam Cooper and the pair can't wait to welcome another child.

According to insiders, they have been joking about how a newborn baby will affect their lives.

"Lily is excited about the new arrival, but she's saying it's hit her that when the new baby comes, they'll also be coping with a one year old, so she reckons it's going to be mayhem!" a source revealed. "But when pals ask them how they'll cope, they look at each other and laugh and say: 'We have no idea!' They've joked that they'll be waving goodbye to their 'old friend sleep' very soon."

Lily is expected to give birth in a matter of weeks.
