Charlotte Dawson pregnant with second baby after devastating miscarriage
CHARLOTTE Dawson has revealed she’s pregnant with her second baby after suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage last year.
The reality TV star, who is already mum to two-year-old son Noah, miscarried last April, 10 weeks into her pregnancy.
It made her and fiancé Matt Sarsfield, 31, nervous about announcing their latest news, but at 17 weeks they have gone public with their baby joy.
Charlotte, 30, told OK!: “I wanted to scream and tell everybody, ring my mum and all my friends, but we couldn’t really get excited enough because of what happened last time.
“I can’t believe it’s actually happened again and Noah is going to be a big brother! Obviously this one is a rainbow baby. I feel very blessed and very happy that I’ve managed to get pregnant again.
“We were absolutely heartbroken about the miscarriage last year. It came as a shock when I found out last April. It was like we’d just come to the realisation that we were having a baby and I lost it at 10 weeks.”
Charlotte said the couple had been trying for a while to add to their family and discovered they were expecting just a week after conceiving.
The mum-to-be is hopeful of having a “mini-me” daughter, although has a feeling the baby will be another boy.
So far, the pregnancy is mirroring her first, even down to the cravings of sweet snacks, chips and gravy.
And looking ahead to potential names, Charlotte said she liked Penelope and Lily-Rose for a girl, and Alfie for a boy.
Last April Charlotte told of her heartbreaking miscarriage news in an emotional Instagram post.
She wrote: “Hi my darlings, I finally feel ready to post this.. I mean I don’t know when there is a good time to post this.
“It’s been an extremely tough week mentally but also obviously physically… I am heartbroken beyond words.. and I know I’m never quiet on here, & always so open and honest with you guys so it’s been a shock to you all.
“I keep getting lots & lots of messages worrying about us all, asking why I’m being quiet & if Noah is ok.. Noah is absolutely fine.. he’s amazing.
“I’m the one that’s not ok.. unfortunately I’ve suffered with a miscarriage.
“Obviously our families & close friends have known about me being pregnant, but didn’t announce anything until I got further down the line.. I was so excited to share our happy news with you all.
“Noah’s little brother or little sister, as you can imagine Matthew & I were absolutely over the moon our little family was going to be growing.
“I also found out on mother’s day which was just so special. But sometimes it’s just not meant to be, I really thought it was but it just wasn’t this time.”
