Brittany Higgins celebrates birth of first child
Brittany Higgins and husband David Sharaz, have announced the birth of their first child together.
The former Liberal Party staffer took to Instagram to share her baby joy, with a photo of her newborn son asleep in a hospital cot.
“Last night we welcomed our little boy into the world," she began in the caption.
“A huge thank-you to the amazing midwives, nurses and doctors for their care and kindness,” Higgins continued.
“We’re both looking forward to getting to dote on the newest member of the family — forever grateful for all the love and support we’ve received.”
Her comments were flooded with messages of congratulations from friends and followers, with one writing: "Very lucky little man to have you both as his parents"
Another commented: "So lovely. Congrats to you both. You will be fabulous parents."
"Omg!!!!! Best news. Congrats to you both let the fun begin 🫶🏼" a third wrote.
Higgins revealed she was pregnant with her first child in July 2024, three months later she shared an emotional update, saying that she had a pregnancy health scare during her second trimester.
"A fortnight ago, David Sharaz and I had the scare of our lives after the midwife told us halfway through my second trimester my blood test had raised red flags," she said at the time.
“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.”
Fortunately, doctors had since given the all-clear, and her baby is now "perfectly fine and healthy."
