Holding up her latest scans, which sweetly capture the little one’s tiny hand waving “hello”, the 7NEWS weather presenter and fiance Sam Ennis are sharing their exciting news because she admits to being “terrible at keeping secrets”.
“I think I started showing quite early as well – the wardrobe department has had a couple of challenges in trying to find some outfits appropriate,” says Treloar, who received a message from one bold TV fan asking if she had something to share.
“I feel like that’s part of the reason I want to share this news now. I don’t want to have that speculation, I just want people to know.
“We’re just so excited and we’ve been pretty open with our journey and our losses … and seeing a happy, healthy little one now in the second trimester, we’re happy to share the news.”
Treloar says this pregnancy has felt “very, very different and that has given us some faith”. The 33-year-old has been suffering “relentless” morning sickness – something she didn’t experience in her previous pregnancies, which all ended before the eight-week mark.
“I’ve been very unwell. Crunch time has been between 5pm and 7pm … I’d get to an ad break and keel over. There have been times when I wasn’t sure I’d make it on air, to be honest,” she says.
But the happy news is tinged with nerves for the couple, who suffered three devastating miscarriages in nine months.
Treloar says she felt “somewhat robbed of the joy” when she tested positive to a pregnancy test in July and was already fearing the worst.
“There was a sense of excitement but in my head I think a lot of what I was working out dates-wise was potentially working out when my next miscarriage might be,” she says.
“I was trying to work out the dates around that and I was so focused on, you know, when potentially I could get into a D&C (dilation and curettage surgery). The lead up to our first scan was pretty tough.
“We won’t be able to fully experience the joy of this pregnancy just because of our history.”
A worried Ennis says his first reaction was concern for his fiance, who he proposed to in July 2024.
“For me, the defence barriers are still up a bit because I’m always thinking worst-case scenario,” says the 33-year-old, a building site supervisor with Hickinbotham Group.
“I don’t 100 per cent want to be excited, there’s always something that could happen, I guess, between now and when the baby is due. I don’t think it will fully hit me until I’m at the hospital. But the last couple of scans have been really, really positive.”
The baby is due to be born in March. Treloar, who has been craving savoury foods, is planning to give birth at Burnside Memorial Hospital – where she was born back in 1993.
“I feel now we’re at a point where we can accept this pregnancy and the fact that we’ll hopefully have a baby early next year,” says Treloar.
“But in reality … I think our expectations will still be tempered right up until the baby’s born.”
