Jess Redden shared that she was expecting her second child with her husband, Rob Kearney, earlier this week.
And now she has opened up about this pregnancy and admitted that she is “more anxious” this time around.
During an Instagram Q&A, she let her followers ask her whatever they wanted.
Of course, people were curious about her pregnancy.

She admitted: “This pregnancy has been so different mentally. I’m definitely more anxious, even though I was so anxious with [Bobby], this time it’s even worse, maybe because you know how precious they are or having experienced early loss before this one, but having Bobby is a blessing because it keeps my mind busy!!
“Physically, I’m feeling great after awful nausea in trimester one, which I didn’t have with him! Needing to go to the bathroom every five seconds and I had done Emsella treatments last year and for the first time in a decade no longer suffered with OAB symptoms but now they’re back with a bang so love that for me.
“But my gosh are they worth every weird and wonderful change that happens to our bodies.”
She went on to share an emotional poem about suffering pregnancy loss.
“A fragile spark, too soon to grow / A dream that flickered and then let go / A whispered hope, a fleeting chance / A tender moment, a brief romance,” she began.
“The tests were bright and a hope burned deep that this time you’d be my one to keep. But time was swift, and cruel, and fast / A love unformed, too soon surpassed.
“In silence, it slipped through my hands / An echo lost in shifting sands. The grief that comes with what could be / A part of me, a memory.
“I grieve the child I’ll never know / The tiny hands I’ll never show / The lullaby that will remain / Unsung, within this sea of pain.

“An endless cycle of hope and loss / Sleepless nights and still I toss / The idea that next time will be the one / And we’ll have our angel to call me mum.”
Rob revealed earlier this week that Jess was 20 weeks into her pregnancy and Jess confirmed that she is expecting their little one’s arrival around Halloween. She added that this time they would not be finding out the gender.
“I found out for Bobby and managed to keep it from Rob for months, because he wanted a surprise, until I saw a dad and his baby son in matching swim shorts and burst into tears. So, this time we aren’t finding out because I don’t trust myself not to let it slip again!” she admitted.
