Em Rusciano announces pregnancy one year after miscarriage

2Day FM radio host Em Rusciano has announced some very happy news; she’s pregnant with her third child.

Taking to Instagram referencing 2006 film Little Miss Sunshine, the 39-year-old showed off her bump in a red and silver leotard.

“It’s gonna take more than a superfreak strip routine and a Kombi van to get me out of this one.. Jokes guys,” she began. “I’m totally pregnant and so happy my heart may burst in my chest at any moment.”

Em joked she wasn’t exactly Little Miss Sunshine though, and it was more of a case of being “little miss teary, bloated, nauseous yet ravenously hungry”.

“Let me tell you it’s a different ball game doing this at 39 to 21,” she wrote. “It’s a good thing that the stretch marks are in place and ready to go!”

The radio host already has two children with her husband Scott Barrow – Marchella, 16, and Odette, 11, – and the news comes just over one year after her devastating miscarriage.

In May last year, Em revealed she had lost her baby in a heartbreaking post on Facebook.

“About 10 weeks ago I got the most wondrous surprise. I found out I was pregnant,” she said. “I was going to announce it this Monday as we’d hit 13 weeks, but instead I will be at home in the most exquisite pain I can possibly fathom.

“Yesterday I found out that my little boy, was lost to me.”

At the time she also said she and Scott had decided to name their son Ray.

Six months after her loss in November, the radio host admitted she was was still coming to terms with everything.

“I just put one foot in front of the other and that’s all I can do,” Em told Be at Derby Day in Melbourne.
