EDNA'S LITTLE MIRACLE 'I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M PREGNANT!'

Why the reality TV star was so shocked to discover she's about to become a mum

Edna Swart assumed it would probably take years – and possibly a gruelling IVF journey – for her and husband Reid Stephen to have a baby together. So it was a shock, 18 months after their show-stopping wedding, for the Celebrity Treasure Island star to discover that not only was she pregnant, but she’d also sailed through the entire first trimester completely oblivious to her impending arrival!

“Because of my polycystic ovary syndrome [PCOS], I always thought I’d struggle to get pregnant,” admits Edna. “I’ve actually talked to Reid about what he would do if I couldn’t have a baby. It’s always been an insecurity of mine.”

However, after the pair had enjoyed a dreamy five-week road trip around the States, Edna thought she’d better do a pregnancy test since she hadn’t had a period in three months.

“Not having a period for that long isn’t uncommon for me because of the PCOS, so I hadn’t really given it much thought,” she explains. “Then when it was positive, I just didn’t believe it. I bought up 10 different types of tests and peed on all the sticks just to be sure!”

Edna’s doctor confirmed that she was indeed pregnant, which initially caused some confusion for the couple.

“We were both like, ‘How?!’” laughs Edna, 33. “I’d hadn’t seen Reid for two weeks and prior to that, we were on an overseas holiday with our family. There’s only so much sexy time you can have with family members around!”
