“I am the one who is going to get pregnant next,” Hope, whose AFLW career included stints at Collingwood and North Melbourne, confirmed in a social media chat.

“We are going to start trying mid next year through Monash IVF.

“We are going to have the same donor for all babies, I say all babies because we plan on having three and Belle will do the third.”

The couple are sharing the IVF and pregnancy experience, with Carlstrom to carry two of their planned three children and Hope to go through one pregnancy.

The couple named their daughter Svea as she is a warrior.

“We love the fact that Svea represents something so strong, the mother of Sweden, like a Viking warrior who always has a lion by her side,” Hope said.

“She is strong, she is beautiful and she can do anything.

“And I want her to always know those three things.”
