Nadia told fans that the phrase and Carrie's experience had really resonated with her. She explained: "I'd never heard the phrase 'rainbow baby' before until Carrie Johnson said it a couple of days ago when she announced the fact that she's pregnant with her second baby with Boris Johnson... It's used to describe the beauty of a baby that comes after you've lost a baby."

Speaking about the tradition of waiting to tell people you're pregnant, Nadia said: "If we actually think about it, what is the reason that we don't tell people? A lot of the time it is superstition, if we tell people something will happen."
She went on: "It's really difficult to have that conversation, I got enormous support after I had my second one and my third one which was the hardest of all because it was much later on."
