Ms Higgins revealed she was pregnant with her first child in July, on the eve of her defamation battle against former boss Linda Reynolds.

The former political adviser revealed on social media from France that she was expecting her first child with Mr Sharaz who she married on the Gold Coast in June.

“Can’t wait to meet you! Beyond excited to welcome a new member to our little family. Your parents are already obsessed with you and you aren’t even here yet,” she wrote.

She later revealed her unborn baby boy had been given the all-clear after blood tests suggested he might have a genetic disorder.

Brittany Higgins and David Sharaz are now parents.

Detailing the pregnancy scare for the first time she revealed that an amniocentesis had confirmed her baby was doing well after blood tests raised alarm bells.

“Given everything going on — it’s an understatement to say that we’ve had an acutely stressful pregnancy,” she said.

“A fortnight ago, David and I had the shock of our lives after the midwife told us halfway through my second trimester my blood test had raised some red flags.

“Our baby had a high probability of a genetic disorder – which wouldn’t have mattered to us – but scarily could mean he may be incompatible with life outside of the womb.

“After an amniocentesis and a seemingly never ending wait our prayers were answered. Our little guy is perfectly fine and healthy.”
