Aww yay congratulations to the lovely family! So adorable. She seems like such a wonderful mother and it’s very clear to see how much she loves being a mum as well. Melts my heart ❣️ I have 2 so far haha but would love a big family like this, hard work for sure but worth it!!!

Exciting times !! They look like a lovely family. Many congrats to them all with their new bundle of joy 🙂 She mentioned she was finished, although she has come to realize that she probably would have babies forever…so maybe just maybe baby number 5 is not the last one lol !

It is lovely to see her enjoying motherhood so much. Of course it’s not always easy, I’m sure she has her moments, but lots of these photos look very natural and happy. It’s lovely to see.

Okay, so the name was looking great until the second middle name – what is with ‘lightning’? That’s just weird! Oh well, at least no one needs to know his extra name if he doesn’t want them to! I think Libby would be such a fun mum and she’s definitely a super star raising so many beautiful little kiddies and still keeping her sanity!

They look like a very happy family. Wishing them all the best.

Looks like the possibility of a few little athletes in the making. Congratulations on your fifth child. As long as you are and your babies are happy and healthy what more could a Mother ask for. Welcome to your new little Trickett. I’m so glad the birth went so well and was a calm event.

Awww such a big, beautiful family. Huge congratulations to them all. Libby is such an amazing, down to earth, wonderful role model and I’m sure she’s an absolutely fantastic mother. They are definitely lucky kids who im sure will always be very loved and well looked after and maybe even great swimmers too!

Aw congrats to her and the family! I can totally relate and understand what she means when she says shes almost certain it’s her last. I said the same thing with my first – then watching her alone made me want another one. Ive said im absolutely done but after a few years seeing their baby years slip away, it’s that missing feeling!

Congratulations to her! I understand where she’s coming from, if my body would have stood up to it I’d have had lots more babies. Since it didn’t, I didn’t have to deal with realities like budget, space, time, etc! But I wish her much joy oft he new arrival and all her kids.

This is such wonderful news! I’m so happy to hear the baby has arrived safely and she now has another bundle of joy to love and cherish. She truly is a super mum managing to care for 4 kids. I wish the entire family all the happiness in the coming weeks as they introduce the baby to the family, bond, and adjust to life with 4 kids

Congratulations–how marvellous for Libby’s family. Everyone must be so proud of her Olympic success but being a mum once over, let alone five times, is harder. Wishing Libby and Matt all the best for the delivery and the wonderful life events to follow with fab Christmases and a relay team with a spare.

Hello again. Libby. I wrote with baby 4, and felt you were so lucky to have had a boy after 3 girls, though I never said it. I am not surprised that baby 5 is coming along – great if it is a boy so the girls cannot gang up on your Alfie. I had two of each, and doctors said I had to stop, so I was lucky. But if you don’t have huge problems in pregnancy and you are still so young, why not go for no 5. Hope you have an easy pregnancy and birth and everything will work out for you.

Such an amazing big family!

I would have loved to have more kids… good on her, congratulations and good luck!

How wonderful and what a beautiful family she has created.
He was born just a couple of days before my own birthday. I wonder if he gets his full name or if it is now shortened to Al or Fred. I knew an Alfred and his name was shortened to Albie.

Talk about a super mum! To have such a big family after a successful career as a professional athlete is amazing and she still looks super fit too! Proof that it can be done! 5 is a pretty big amount of children though, I bet they keep her busy. A gorgeous family!

Love this news. Libby you are one super mum and Luke a super dad, congratulations on the news of your fifth child to come. What a happy growing family. I love the photos of them, they are just keeping it real and always looking happy just having fun. Wishing them all the best.

  These photos are definitely keeping it real and I suspect quite relatable for many in the community. I always prefer down to earth and natural photos of posed celebrity photos. It is so nice for every family to have down to earth photos and to keep and cherish and look at and talk about years down the track.

I really do love these down to earth and relatable family photos; it really is so refreshing to see non posed and fun family photos by someone with a community profile. Libby Trickett appears to have such a wonderful energy and enthusiasm and it such good news for this growing family.

Congratulations! If you have the physical, emotional and financial resources, I see no issue with a big family. I would have had more kids if I could have.

Congratulations to them all. She is always such a down to earth person and always smiling. Her children all look gorgeous and enjoying life too.
