Huge congratulations are in order for Dominique Nugent and her husband, Paddy, who are expecting a child together.
The pair have been documenting their fertility journey over the past few years, sharing both heartbreaking moments and happy moments too.
Last night, Dominique shared the news they had been longing for "after years of heartbreak."
She shared, "After years of heartbreak, loss, and longing, I can’t quite believe I get to write these words and share this news. It’s finally our turn.
"IVF has given us our little Christmas wish and, all going well, our rainbow baby will be coming this summer," she shared.
"These clips hold so many emotions for me. Excitement, hope, the month-after-month disappointment, and the kind of love that keeps you trying again when you don’t know how you’ll get back up after a loss," she shared alongside the video.
Dominique added, "I’m still nervous, because I’ve been at this stage before. But today I’m letting myself breathe and share this tiny piece of hope with you all."
She also added a touching message to those struggling to conceive.
"To anyone going through loss, or still longing to hold a baby, especially at Christmas, I’m holding space for you. I know how heavy this time can feel when your heart is still waiting."
"Here’s to hope, to science, and to finally saying the words I’ve waited so long to say."
In 2024, Dominique and Paddy sadly lost their baby at 16 weeks.
