“I know, it’s obviously very happy news and everything … It hasn’t been the easiest journey to get here, which a lot of people I know have gone through and will go through.
“It’s not as easy as you sometimes think that pregnancy will be.
“So, it has been a bit of a bumpy ride, but here we are. And yes, it’s getting harder to hide. As much as I’d like to bury my head in the sand and not address it, I think, yeah, we’re almost halfway now.”
Explaining her journey further, Abo said, “This time last year, when we had our last pregnancy loss, and there was one obviously before that. So I think that’s also why I’ve been so cautious about sharing this, which obviously, you know, I’m so thrilled to be with you at home.”
The happily tearful Abo also thanked her supporters.
“And thank you to everyone for all the support. But it’s just one of those things that every day, I mean, I’m terrified. I think I’m still finding it hard to believe that it’s happening. So when, you know, I will lean in and just think a understand what it’s like to sort of have this cautious optimism.
“We love this child so much already.”
Abo also addressed any viewers who may be experiencing pregnancy loss: “You’re not alone – you may feel like you are, but you’re not.”
She added about Moran, “He’s going to be the most beautiful father.”

Co-host Karl Stefanvic joked that Abo had been “more angry with him in the mornings”, and also, hungry.
Abo laughingly agreed, but declined his offer to name the baby after him.
“There’s already one Karlos in my life.”
The Syrian-born presenter has been married to Moran since 2012. The couple are both graduates of Monash University, with Moran completing his Bachelor of Arts History degree in 2004, as Abo began her journalism studies.
