Laura Jackson shared the happy news in a very candid post

Laura Jackson has announced she is expecting her third baby very soon.

The 39-year-old TV presenter shared the happy news that she is eight months pregnant with a caveat, as she detailed what has been a tiring and emotionally draining pregnancy so far.

The Ready or Not host explained she’d kept her pregnancy a secret for so long for fear it could impact work opportunities, as although the star admitted we’ve ‘moved the dial a lot in terms of rights’ pregnancy shame is still a ‘real thing’ and women are, consciously or not, still discounted from opportunities ‘because of a bump’.

Going on to explain what this pregnancy has felt like for her, Laura didn’t paint a rosy picture like some expectant mothers do, as she called the past eight months her ‘longest and most emotional’ ever, and even revealed she was hospitalised due to sickness and feared she’d lost her personality with ‘crazy hormones’.

Sharing the news in an Instagram post, she said: ‘I’ve always chosen to keep my pregnancies private for as long as possible. Worrying I will get overlooked for work and that it will affect people’s perceptions of my capabilities. 

‘We have definitely moved the dial a lot in terms of rights, but I think pregnancy shame is a real thing and women are still, sadly, subconsciously discounted from opportunities because of a bump.
