She’s got her own reality series, The Family Diaries, and makes parenting look easy, but pregnant Billie Shepherd confides she is “petrified” at the thought of giving birth again and has been bed bound with sickness.
The 32-year-old recently revealed that she and her husband Greg are expecting again later this year – a sibling for Nelly, eight, and Arthur, five – but it hasn’t been third time’s a charm for the star.
“I’m not usually the type of person that gets really poorly. I usually power through, but I was wiped out,” Billie says of the morning sickness.
“You just want everything to be OK, but being pregnant is a really scary time – every scan makes me nervous, but I think because I haven’t been pregnant for such a long time, that also makes a difference. I’m overthinking it all, but hopefully, it’ll be fine.”
Billie and Greg, 37, have decided not to find out the gender of their baby – though Nelly is hoping for a brother as she wants to call him Davide!
However, the couple, who have been married for three years, can’t help but speculate. Billies shares, “I really do believe it’s a girl, but Greg thinks it’s a boy. But neither of those guesses are based on anything because you just don’t know. I really don’t mind either way. I have no preference.”
Here, Billie talks about baby names (it won’t be Davide!), summer plans and what she’s learned from motherhood so far...
Hi Billie! Congratulations on your third pregnancy. How are you feeling?
