Actress Olympia Valance has revealed she’s expecting her first baby, after multiple, heartbreaking pregnancy losses.
The 31-year-old Neighbours star, who is married to former AFL player Tom Bellchambers, has shared that she’s 25 weeks pregnant, with what she calls a ‘miracle baby’.
“I’ve been hiding away for the past 5 and a half months to make sure this wasn’t all a dream,” Olympia wrote on Instagram.
“But you kept growing and growing and it’s starting to look like our dreams have finally come true.
I’ve been as open and honest as I could about our struggles with infertility and I truly believed that this day wasn’t going to be possible for us. So when I saw this positive pregnancy test I have to admit, at the time, I wasn’t jumping for joy. I was full of fear because that’s all I’ve known.
“But as the weeks kept going by it was hard to wipe the smile off our faces.”
“To the little one we never thought we’d meet, we can’t wait to hold you in our arms. You were worth every tear, every setback, and every prayer.
“To all the people who supported us through the darkest days, thank you. I know I wouldn’t have made it to this point without the strength of my family and friends who managed to hold me up when I was falling apart.”
The mum-to-be, who has also shared she’s expecting a baby boy, says she’s well aware how painful the journey to motherhood can be.
Olympia, the younger half-sister of Holly Valance, explained in an interview with Stellar that she suffered several miscarriages, including losing twins during the pandemic
“It is also incredibly important for me to recognise that although this is the best news in the world for Thomas and I, my heart aches for anyone that sees this and feels pain. It was so hard for me to write this because it feels like I’m caught between two worlds.
“It’s not an easy road and I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy. It’s one hell of an emotional roller coaster. Stay strong, keep fighting, but most importantly don’t forget to be kind to yourself.”
