Late last year, Olympia Valance opened up about the difficulty she and her husband, former AFL player Thomas Bellchambers, encountered while trying to start a family. After a roller-coaster four years, which saw them experience multiple pregnancy losses and undergo IVF, Olympia decided to speak out because she wanted anyone else going through the same thing to feel less alone. 

She was also getting to a point where she felt it might be time to close the door on trying to conceive. And then she took a pregnancy test…

Today, Olympia joins Something To Talk About host Sarrah Le Marquand to reveal her baby news, why she feels a little nervous sharing it – and what she’d say to anyone struggling with their own fertility journey.
