In recent months, Jesinta revealed that her pregnancy had been challenging.
‘The journey to get here hasn’t been easy and this little life is the greatest gift and we feel truly blessed and grateful that we will have a little angel of our own,’ she said in August.
Jesinta also told Daily Mail Australia at the Melbourne Cup last November that she was starting to feel better after a difficult first trimester.
‘I feel great,’ she revealed. ‘I think it’s quite common for a lot of women to feel terrible in the first trimester, but I feel really good and feel really healthy.’

The couple tied the knot during a secret ceremony in the Blue Mountains in November 2016.
The bride wore a custom-made design by Vera Wang, and clutched several single-stem peonies instead of a bouquet.
Jesinta told Vogue Australia in 2017 that she hoped to pass the dress on to her future daughter to wear on her own wedding day.
