Loose Women's Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash announce pregnancy with second baby

Stacey Solomon has announced she is pregnant with her second child to Joe Swash.

She broke the exciting news on her Instagram story with a collection of photos and videos describing the couple's journey.

This will be Stacey's fourth pregnancy and second child with Joe Swash.

They posted a wholesome family photo on Instagram announcing the news.

The Loose Woman wrote: "Sorry I’ve been so quiet… but we have something we are excited to share with you… I feel so nervous for so many reasons…"

Stacey explained that they had been trying for a while but had tragically ended in miscarriage. They were close to giving up, she revealed as she shared clips of her medical records stating "miscarriage".

She added: "For a really long time we’ve been trying for another pickle… It didn’t work out and this was out news quite a few times…

"We decided we were so lucky already to have our boys.

"It is our biggest privilege in life and we are so grateful to be parents so we stopped trying and counted ourselves so so so blessed already…"

Stacey continued, opening a window into her and Joe's life, that they were upset and previously suffered heartbreak but their fortunes began to change.

She wrote: "For a while now I’ve felt so yuck and even though I thought about what it felt like I didn’t even want to go and check at first because well, just because, you know (I don’t even like to write it).

"But yesterday we went to check what was going on… And we were so grateful to hear an extra heartbeat my tummy…"

Showing a black and white video clip of Stacey lying on a hospital bed getting an ultra, she shared the monitor's image of the baby.

"We honestly couldn’t believe it!

"So we told the boys and we’ve spent yesterday and today finishing the Wendy house ready to welcome a new pickle into our lives..."

Stacey added videos of her sons painting the Wendy house and helping Joe build it, as well as adding their hand prints to a bench seat as memento for their unborn sibling.

She honoured her sons, adding: "Boys we are so so excited for you all. You’re already the most incredible brothers we could have ever imagined raising…

"Dear Harry, Zachary, Leighton & Rex… you fill our hearts so so so much they’re bursting…

"We can not wait to open our hearts even more and watch you open yours and see them grow even bigger to fit all of the love…

"Inside for your new… Pickle."

Joe and Stacey are planning to get married at the end of July and the couple already have two-year-old Rex together.

She has two other sons from previous relationships.

Stacey and Joe met on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and have been together for five years.
