Sara Pascoe pregnant with second child at 41 after fertility struggles

Sara Pascoe has revealed the joyful news that she is expecting her second child with husband Steen Raskopoulos.

The actress, 41, dropped her baby bombshell on Instagram with a sweet snap which showcased her blossoming baby bump.

Taking to social media to share the family news, Sara posed in a rainbow coloured dress which perfectly showcased her growing bump.

Her husband Steen looked on top of the world as he beamed alongside her in the sweet mirror selfie.

Steen held a beer in his hand as the happy couple smiled from ear-to-ear in the announcement snap.

Captioning the photo, Sara penned: "Here we go again. Eating for two and drinking for no one."

After breaking their news, congratulations soon began to fly in from Sara and Steen's celebrity pals.

"Ah congrats dolly!! (And what a great frock!!)," wrote Strictly Come Dancing star Ellie Taylor.

Dancing On Ice judge Oti Mabuse added: "Congratulations lovely."

Comedian Anne Edmonds wrote: "Oh wow. Round two. Congratulations!!"

While Blue singer Duncan James joined: "Awww massive congrats to u both."

Sara and Steen are already proud parents to a son, who they welcomed in 2020 through IVF after being unable to conceive naturally.

Since welcoming her first child, Sara has been open about her determination to 'normalise IVF' after struggling to conceive in her thirties.

"What bothered me in my thirties was not knowing if I was going to have kids," she told Women's Health UK.

"My worry was: my life is really great now, but I don't want to regret [not being a mum] when I'm 50.

"It was like making a hypothetical decision based on a sadness I hadn't felt yet. The way society ties women's success to marriage and babies weighed heavily on me; I think women are complicit in reinforcing it."

Comic Steen and Sara wed in a low-key ceremony in 2020, after meeting at an Australian comedy festival two years before.
