Bondi Vet announces she and fellow vet are expecting two-legged addition following IVF

Queensland’s own Bondi Vet TV has announced she and her partner are pregnant following IVF treatment.

Brisbane’s own Bondi Vet television star has announced she and her partner are pregnant following IVF treatment.

In a post to their combined 330,000 followers on social media, Dr Alex Hynes and fellow veterinarian Gerardo Poli revealed they had been “keeping a little secret.”

“Baby Hynes-Poli arrives May 2021,” the both posted to Instagram and Facebook over the weekend alongside a video.

“We have something special to share,” the video starts out.

The video then cuts to the happy couple with Dr Hyne’s 11-year-old daughter, Victoria, holding hands as they walk along the beach with their 6-year-old Samoyed, Yoshi.

A close-up shot then reveals they are holding a large balloon that spells out ‘baby.’

Dr Hynes, 43, and Dr Poli, 37, are both directors at Brisbane’s Animal Emergency Service (AES).

In 2017, Dr Hynes was one of five vets originally chosen – out of thousands of applicants – to be part of the new Bondi Vet: Coast to Coast television series, after the Dr Chris Brown stepped down from the original TV show.

The Wellington Point couple thanked the hundreds of followers who congratulated them on their happy news, with Dr Hynes also revealing she underwent In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment.

“THANK YOU for the incredible love and support you have given us since our announcement earlier this week (sic),” she wrote.

“If you’ve been following my stories in the last few days you know we have decided to share about our IVF journey and the frozen embryo transfer that has resulted in so much joy and happiness for us to be blessed with a baby of our own.”

“We love the nickname you guys have given and have started calling him/her Baby HP (Hynes-Poli) ourselves!

“I’m feeling good and had an easier time in the first trimester than I did with my first pregnancy 12 years ago. I’m lucky that I’ve got @drgerardopoli nearby at work to lift the heavy dogs and take the X-rays of patients but otherwise I’m still doing my emergency shifts as usual!”

While thanking people for their best wishes, Dr Poli, who also appears on some episodes of Bondi Vet, wrote that he was doing well.

“Alex is a bit nauseous, BUT I feel great lol (sic),” he wrote.
