Christina Anstead shares her pregnancy news and opens up about her tough first trimester.

Earlier this week we heard that "Flip or Flop" star Christina Anstead announced her pregnancy with her husband Ant Antsead. They announced their pregnancy by showing a picture of Christina and Ant blurred in the background while holding up an ultrasound of their little one. We were so excited to hear the big news, because we all know about her struggles that she had conceiving her 3 1/2 year old Brayden.

It goes to show how little we know from just seeing a pregnancy announcement. She looked so happy in the picture and we had no idea how much she struggled through her first trimester. She dished about how horrible her first trimester was for her and her new husband Ant. Christina and Ant are calling this baby a "miracle baby" because they didn't have to go through any fertility treatments like she had to do to be able to conceive Brayden.

Christina says she doesn't know if it's because she is just a lot older (geriatric pregnancy) or if it's because she totally forgot what it's like to be pregnant, because she was really "blindsided" by her pregnancy. She really struggled during her first trimester with nausea, exhaustion, and food aversions. Christina thanked her husband for being so supportive while his new bride was so sick and a little bit more "cray" than usual.

As mothers we sometimes forget the pains of pregnancy, labor and recovery. Then when we do become pregnant again we think, "oh that's right, this sucks." Christina is excited to be able to be in the second trimester. She said she still feel a little under the weather and tired, but it is much better and she is getting back to her old self. She is trying to enjoy her pregnancy now that she doesn't feel sick all the time. Christina and Ant found out that they were pregnant shortly after their honeymoon and they were excited to be able to tell their children. Christina has two children with her ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa.  Ant has two children with his ex, Lousia. They will be a family of seven once this little one is born!
