Stacey Solomon announces she's pregnant with Joe Swash after 'trying for a little pickle'

Stacey Solomon has announced that she is pregnant again with fiance Joe Swash.

The 31-year-old Loose Women panellist has shared her happy news on her Instagram Story.

Stacey started by teasing her followers that she had some big news to share.

She 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 added that they had almost given up on extended their family, as she detailed their journey to her fourth pregnancy as well as sharing that they suffered the heartbreak of a 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 to say that her and Joe were upset as they had 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…"

Stacey said it was a joyous moment as she continued on her Instagram Story: "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 photos of her sons painting the Wendy house as well as adding their hand prints to a memento for their unborn sibling.

She paid tribute to 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 they couple already have two-year-old Rex together.

Stacey welcomed her first son, 14-year-old Zachary, when she was 17 with her childhood sweetheart Dean Cox.

Four years later, Stacey welcomed nine-year-old Leighton with her ex-fiancé Aaron Barnham.
