The singer’s pregnancy has been a bit rock ’n’ roll!
“ It’s a girl!” are three lovely words most often heard in a delivery room, but mums-in-waiting Anika Moa and Natasha Utting have been certain of their baby’s sex ever since they found out they were expecting – and they couldn’t be happier!
“When I conceived, I just knew this baby was going to be a girl,” says musician and TV presenter Anika, 39. “And for the whole pregnancy, I’ve been really in tune with her.”
Even before they got official confirmation, Anika and her wife, journalist and producer Natasha, 43, were so positive, they went shopping for baby girls’ clothing.
Due on March 8 or thereabouts, their daughter – who will join the couple’s three boisterous boys, Soren, four, plus seven-year-old twins Taane and Barry – is a dream come true for Natasha, whose family is full of sons. She tells, “In my generation, there are 13 boys, so a little girl is much wanted by everyone.”
Knowing that the first child she’s ever carried would be a girl has been important for Anika too. “I made this baby in my body and the fact that it’s a girl is so lovely,” she enthuses, adding that she’s wanted to be pregnant for a long time, but life and circumstances got in the way.
“When I married my first wife, she was older than me so she got dibs on being the one to have the twins,” explains Anika. “Then when I met Natasha, she was already four months pregnant, so she already had dibs on that one!”
But when she and Natasha decided the time was right for Anika to get pregnant, it took a long time to conceive.
