MY PREGNANCY journey: JESSICA SKARRATT Channel 7 Queensland Weekender and Gold Coast Suns TV presenter, Jessica Skarratt, talks about her pregnancy journey and how she has found being a first-time mum. Five days overdue, Jessica and husband Dave welcomed daughter Halliday into the world world at Pindara on 8 January 2017. 1. What are your most vivid thoughts and feelings when the pregnancy test came back positive? I was away working for Queensland Weekender and I had to film a scene sipping cocktails by the pool. I was pretty sure I was pregnant but I wanted confirmation so I could sneakily ask the bartender to make mine a mocktail. I quickly ducked out and bought a pregnancy test and when the result came back positive I was beyond ecstatic but it was frustrating because I couldn’t be openly excited and I had to wait four days to get home and share the news with my partner in person. I struggle to contain my excitement at the best of times so it was a real challenge keeping the secret from my partner on the phone when I was just so happy and busting to tell him. pindaramagazine.com.au Pindara Magazine 51
