Former Spice Girls singer Mel C, who confirmed her pregnancy last month, has turned to her mother for health and parenting tips.

Mel said her bandmates have given her some valuable advice, but she prefers listening to her mom, contactmusic.com reported.

She said: "The girls are made up (happy) for me and have all offered to guide and advise me, but I'm sticking with my mum. She's my best friend and you don't get any better than that. I used to love the fact that I was the only Spice Girl who didn't need to lug around loads of baby stuff. Mad, innit (isn't it)? Me, a mum."

Mel is the last of the Spice Girls to get pregnant.
