A second image showed Laura alongside her daughter, Remy, as she sported a soft beige cardigan that barely covered her bump.

A third image featured Laura taking a picture of herself in the bathroom mirror with a digital camera. In the caption, she wrote: “I've always chosen to keep my pregnancies private for as long as possible.

Worrying I will get overlooked for work and that it will affect people's perceptions of my capabilities. “We have definitely moved the dial a lot in terms of rights, but I think pregnancy shame is a real thing and women are still, sadly, subconsciously (and consciously) discounted from opportunities because of a bump. “I feel conscious of an announcement trigging others: conceiving can also take a variety of paths - and I always want to try and be as sensitive as possible to friends and my community who are navigating their own fertility journey...or choosing not to navigate it at all.” Laura continued to admit that the last eight months have been the “most emotional”, and she hadn’t been feeling herself as she battled “exhaustion, zero energy, crazy hormones, feeling so incredibly lonely in this journey, tears, sickness (leading to hospitalisation), feeling like I've lost my personality, I mean, the list could go on.” “I wish I could have felt more.
