In a post on her blog, Claire revealed that she first learned she was expecting in March after spending some time with her friends.

“I can’t really say I was shocked. I’d had this overwhelming desire to procreate and really felt like a baby was coming for us,” she reflected. “I don’t know if it was mother’s intuition or wishful thinking, but I had a very strong gut feeling.”

Despite her feelings, she was still surprised to see the positive pregnancy test.

“Even though I knew it was a possibility, when those two pink lines showed up, I felt alllll the feelings,” she recalled.

Once she knew she was pregnant, her concerns shifted to thoughts of suffering another miscarriage.

“I took multiple tests each day to make sure the line was getting darker. My google searches switched to miscarriage statistics and signs of loss,” she wrote. “I often wonder what it must be like to go through a pregnancy without worrying that something will take your baby from you. Without waiting for bad news at every appointment. I thought that after two healthy pregnancies I might feel slightly more hopeful but alas, the feeling was the same. I never really let myself get too excited, as if it would somehow protect me from the pain if something weren’t right. It’s a sad way to experience something so beautiful, but I guess it’s human nature to want to shield yourself from heartache.”

Claire recalled going in for an ultrasound and being concerned about the baby’s heartbeat.

“I tried to accept that things would happen just as they were meant to and none of it was in my control. I reminded myself that if I didn’t lose that first baby, I wouldn’t have my [children] James or Elle. It definitely helped me curb the constant whirlpool of negative thoughts in my head,” she wrote.

After feeling comfortable with the pregnancy, she shared the news with her other children: “James was beside himself with joy – it was definitely one of the best moments of my life. In usual Elle fashion, she was nonchalant. God I want to be like her.”

How is she feeling now?

“Although I still have moments of nausea, it’s completely manageable and my energy has returned to pre-pregnancy levels,” Claire explained. “I’m still scared of course. I know that so many things can happen between now and 40 weeks. I won’t let those fears rob me of my joy, though. I’m so thankful for all the love and support I’ve received and I can’t wait to share this journey with you all. Now someone drink a cocktail for me!”
