The former Eternal singer - who is married to former soccer star Jamie Redknapp - is three-and-a-half months pregnant with her second child.
Louise admitted that the pregnancy was a "shock" after it took years for her to conceive her first child, Charley, who is now three.
She suffers from severe endometriosis, which can affect the chances of conceiving, so was stunned she fell pregnant after just four weeks of trying.
She told Britain's Daily Mirror Newspaper: "It took me four years to have Charley and so this time, after just a month, it was very unexpected. We had talked about having another baby and we kind of expected the same problems as last time.
"When I did the pregnancy test, I nearly fell off the chair. My friend popped in and I dragged her upstairs and said, 'You've got to look at this. Am I reading it wrong?'
Louise - who currently models for lingerie company Triumph - added: "I'm really happy, but there will be no modelling for a while."
Louise - who is due in November - says she and Jamie want to find out the sex of their child before she gives birth.
The couple married in June 1998.
