Melanie Chisholm aka Mel C at The Sleeping Beauty - VIP reception held at St Martins Lane hotel, London, England - 04.12.08

The British singer is expecting her first child in February (09), and is the last of the Girl Power troupe to become a mum.

But despite the star's excitement about her impending parenthood, she has heard terrible tales about having a baby - from mum-of-two Melanie Brown, known in the band's heyday as Scary Spice.

However, the star insists she has not been put off - and the rest of her bandmates have offered her the support she needs.

She tells U.K. magazine Reveal, "The girls are really excited and supportive. I've seen quite a lot of them lately, except Victoria, obviously, because she's out in L.A. a lot.

"Mel B has been talking me through all the fine details of giving birth and has told me loads of horror stories. Well, she is Scary isn't she? So I suppose it's her job to scare me a bit."
