Today host Sarah Abo has announced her pregnancy during a broadcast of the breakfast program, prompting tears of joy from her co-hosts.
During the broadcast on Wednesday morning, a tearful Abo revealed she was expecting her first child after years of fertility struggles.
“It hasn’t been the easiest journey to get here, which a lot of people I know have gone through and will go through,” she said after making the announcement just after 8.15am.
“And I know that a lot of our viewers will be going through this too, and it’s not as easy as a lot of people think that it will be. It has been a bit of a bumpy ride but here we are…
“We’re almost half way now and things are going well, it’s good.”
Nine, which broadcasts Today, is the owner of this masthead.
In a post to Instagram on Wednesday morning, Abo shared a photo of her baby bump and provided more detail about her struggle to conceive.
“Well, I can’t keep trying to hide under a rock! Yes, there is a baby in there. It’s our happy news after a bit of a bumpy ride. But I am still pretty terrified!
“I know this is an experience many have gone through, are going through, and will go through. And one that no one ever wants to go through. We take so much for granted, and I think when it comes to pregnancy and fertility, we’re almost conditioned to.
“Instead, for some of us, it’s about dodging glances, dodging questions, submitting to appointment after appointment, test after test, jab after jab. I wish there was a bit more awareness, education and less stigma, to maybe make it a little bit easier.
Hopefully talking about it more, helps.”
