Jessica Cunningham reveals she's pregnant following her recent miscarriage
The star suffered a miscarriage in November last year
Jessica Cunningham has revealed she's expecting her fourth baby with boyfriend Alex Daw, following the tragic news of her miscarriage only a few months ago.
Taking to her blog, Mother of Maniacs, the Apprentice star announced that she will be having a 'little rainbow baby' this year.
She explained: 'A 'rainbow baby' is a baby that is born following a miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death or infant loss.
'In the real world, a beautiful and bright rainbow follows a storm and gives hope of things getting better.
'The rainbow is more appreciated having just experienced the storm in comparison' - the storm she described as being her pregnancy loss.
Sharing the news on her Instagram with her fans, Jessica captioned the image: 'Well, it is the start of the New Year, so best to start It off with how I mean to go on! WITH GOOD NEWS!!! We have a little rainbow baby on the way 2017 was a year of fun, sadness, change, laughter and love. 2018 is the year! Happy new year!'
She revealed in her blog post that the due date is on her boyfriend Alex's birthday.

She described feeling 'sick and panicky' about the possibility of having another heartbreaking miscarriage.
It seems that starting off 2018 with this wonderful news has really helped her to keep positive and put her life into perspective.
