Prime minister Boris Johnson’s wife Carrie has announced she is pregnant with their second child.

Earlier, the prime minister’s wife had shared the news of miscarriage at the start of the year in a message on Instagram. She also said the earlier miscarriage had left her heartbroken. Carrie said, “I feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant again but I’ve also felt like a bag of nerves. Fertility issues can be really hard for many people, particularly when on platforms like Instagram it can look like everything is only ever going well.

“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.”
The 33-year-old mother is expecting to give birth in December. Posting a photo of a Christmas tree bauble of a pram, she said, “Hoping for our rainbow baby this Christmas.”

The prime minister, 57, tied the knot with Carrie Johnson (nee Symonds), 33, in a small ceremony at Westminster Cathedral in May.
