Alexandra Burke revealed that she was already planning her second pregnancy just hours after giving birth to her first child. The 35-year-old singer, who welcomed her first child with boyfriend Darren Randolph in June 2022, shared that she immediately expressed her desire for baby number two to the midwife.
Speaking to Closer magazine, Burke said, “I love being pregnant. Immediately after I gave birth the first time, I said to my midwife, ‘I want to be pregnant again!’ She said it was something she’d never heard before so soon after giving birth, I hadn’t even left the hospital.”
Despite the prospect of having two babies under the age of two, Burke insisted that she feels more excitement than nerves. She expressed her enthusiasm for experiencing the first year all over again with children who are close in age.
Reflecting on her first year of motherhood, Burke described it as “an absolute joy” but admitted to having some moments of panic amidst the happiness. She shared her nervousness about taking her first flight for a gig and the anxiety of traveling with her baby for the first time. However, she emphasized the importance of adapting and riding with the challenges that come along.
This time around, Burke has taken a different approach to her pregnancy. She focuses on exercising “here and there” instead of sticking to her previous prenatal home workout routine. She also pays attention to her diet, ensuring she eats well and takes the right supplements. Fortunately, her cravings for fruits and vegetables help her stay on track with staying healthy.
During her first pregnancy, Burke struggled to accept the changes in her body. However, she has chosen to approach things differently this time and encourages other women to love and accept their bodies during pregnancy. Speaking on the UK TV show ‘Lorraine,’ she emphasized the importance of embracing the changes and loving ourselves.
