“One little miracle gave us Jude, and now he’s going to be a big brother. And if there’s one thing we know for certain, it’s that he is going to be the most amazing big brother.
“We are so grateful, so excited and still a little bit in shock… our hearts are fuller than we ever thought possible.” Now, Scarlett has opened up about her pregnancy experience since the announcement.
Posting a picture of herself in bed after having just woken up, Scarlett wrote: “Also for those lovely ones saying I’m glowing, let me tell you the first trimester was HELL lol. I was driving to jobs and having mini sicks, then filming getting hot and cold flushes and migraines. So I’m now accepting compliments lol thank you.”
In another story, she posted a poll asking her followers to guess whether she’d be having a little girl or boy, where people could vote on a pink or blue heart.
She captioned the image: “My bump is very high this time and I started showing early from around 14 weeks. My cravings have been grated cheese, cheese toasties, cheese scones lol (did I mention ha).”
The baby news comes after Scarlett opened up about the heartbreaking of experiencing a baby loss following the birth of her son Jude.
Scarlett, who recently appeared on the I’m A Celebrity All Stars series, discussed having a miscarriage with her campmates in South Africa.
An emotional Scarlett said: “When all you want is a family, it’s really hard when that doesn’t come naturally or easily, you question yourself, is it ever going to happen?
“It’s just really hard. It just makes life feel heavier. After Jude, we tried again and got quite far along and miscarried it and it was just… I remember Scott’s mam and dad took Jude for the day and me and Scott just laid in bed crying and it was just awful.”
Devastatingly, Scarlett said losing a baby through a miscarriage means “mourning a life that you imagined”. “It’s just really sad. We have to just be so grateful that we’ve got ours,” she added.
Scarlett also opened up about her fertility struggles with the camp, telling tem how she learnt she was pregnant just hours before their first IVF appointment after struggling to conceive for years.
The reality star revealed she and partner Scott had tried for four years before she got pregnant with Jude, revealing: “And then the day we found out I was pregnant, the day after we were going to a fertility clinic.”
