British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s wife, Carrie, says she is expecting the couple’s second child.
Carrie Johnson announced her pregnancy in a post on Instagram in which she also revealed that she suffered a miscarriage earlier this year.
“At the beginning of the year, I had a miscarriage which left me heartbroken,” she wrote. “I feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant again, but I’ve also felt like a bag of nerves.”
Johnson said she hoped to welcome her “rainbow baby” around Christmas. Rainbow baby is a term used to describe a child born after a miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of an infant.
Friends of the Prime Minister said he is “delighted”, the London Telegraph reported.
Carrie, a 33-year-old environmental campaigner and former Conservative Party communications director, said she wanted to share the news about her miscarriage to help others.
