The Prime Minister is expecting a second baby with wife Carrie
The PM and his wife, Carrie Johnson, are expecting their second child. Posting to Instagram, the PM’s wife also revealed that she had a miscarriage earlier this year.
Mrs Johnson previously used Instagram to announce the name of her first son, Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson, with the name Nicholas chosen in a nod to the two doctors who saved the prime minister’s life when he had COVID-19.
According to reports, she wrote:
“Hoping for our rainbow baby this Christmas.
“At the beginning of the year, I had a miscarriage which left me heartbroken.
“I feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant again but I’ve also felt like a bag of nerves.”
“I found it a real comfort to hear from people who had also experienced loss so I hope that in some very small way sharing this might help others too.”
Carrie refers to a “Rainbow baby,” which is a term used to describe a child born after a miscarriage, stillborn or neonatal death.
Carrie and Boris were married on May 29. The intimate ceremony at Westminster Cathedral had been planned for six months and kept under wraps, with only a few church officials involved in the preparation. The pair exchanged vows in front of a small group of friends and family.
