For what feels like forever, Australians everywhere have been focused on tests whether it's Rapid or PCR, COVID has had us swabbing and sampling, anxiously awaiting results. But about a month ago, Brynne Edelsten decided to take the most daunting test of all, a pregnancy test, after "becoming a little bit fat”. Needless to say, the results were shocking!
“I was pregnant” reveals the Melbourne socialite, 38, who sent fans into meltdown when she announced her big news on Facebook last month.
“It was the furthest thing from what I was expecting," she exclusively tells New Idea. “I didn't think I could have kids!"
During her high-profile romance and marriage to the late Geoffrey Edelsten, Brynne did numerous blood tests that made it seem highly unlikely that she would ever be able to conceive naturally.
“It wasn't that I couldn't, but when I was doing the tests, I was barely ovulating. Doctors always told me if I wanted kids, it would be through IVE.”
To her surprise, one Friday afternoon in late December, Brynne decided to take a test after “experiencing all the symptoms of pregnancy”.
“I was completely shocked. I had to read the instructions about six times over to make sure I had it right. It took me quite some time to process it all,” she laughs.
From there, Brynne explains that she and her close girlfriend, who she is currently living with in Melbourne, booked in to see a doctor the following Monday. During the visit, it quickly became clear there were more surprises on the way - the doctor revealed Brynne was already five months along!
