Boris and Carrie Johnson expecting second baby

The Prime Minister is expecting a second baby with wife Carrie

The PM and his wife, Carrie Johnson, are expecting their second child. Posting to Instagram, the PM's wife also revealed that she had a miscarriage earlier this year. Mrs Johnson previously used Instagram to announce the name of her first son, Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson, with the name Nicholas chosen in a nod to the two doctors who saved the prime minister's life when he had COVID-19. According to reports, she wrote: "Hoping for our rainbow baby this Christmas. "At the beginning of the year, I had a miscarriage which left me heartbroken. "I feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant again but I've also felt like a bag of nerves."

"Fertility issues can be really hard for many people, particularly when on platforms like Instagram it can look like everything is only ever going well.

"I found it a real comfort to hear from people who had also experienced loss so I hope that in some very small way sharing this might help others too."

Carrie refers to a "Rainbow baby," which is a term used to describe a child born after a miscarriage, stillborn or neonatal death.

Carrie and Boris were married on May 29. The intimate ceremony at Westminster Cathedral had been planned for six months and kept under wraps, with only a few church officials involved in the preparation. The pair exchanged vows in front of a small group of friends and family.
