“We were pregnant before and we lost the baby,” the 32-year-old expectant mum revealed.

If you’ve been guilty of squeezing avocados in the fruit aisle on multiple occasions in the pursuit of ‘optimum ripeness’, you’re not alone.
Alas, these two hacks for ripening avocados in record time via Refinery 29 will save you time and your reputation at the supermarket!
Bag it
Time to ripen: 1-2 days
What you need: an unripe avocado, a banana or apple and a paper bag.
Instructions: Simply pop your unripe avocado in the paper bag with the apple or banana. Check for ripeness after a day. If it’s still too hard, put it back into the bag for a second day.
Why does it work? Avocados, apples and bananas all emit a gas called ‘ethylene’, responsible for ripening fruit. By trapping the ethylene in a paper bag, the fruit ripen faster than normal.
Nuke it
Time to ripen: 10-60 mins
What you need: an unripe avocado, aluminium foil and baking paper
Instructions: Wrap your rock-like avocado in aluminium foil, place on a tray of baking paper and whack in the oven at 95°C for 10 mins. Depending on how unripe the avocado is, you may need to keep it in the oven for up to an hour. When done, put it in the fridge until cool.

A mum is warning other parents to get their kids immunised after her child nearly died from meningitis when doctors allegedly diagnosed it as chicken pox.
Bethany Brunton from South Shields, England, took her daughter Izabelle to the hospital and was told she had chicken pox, but Bethany knew there was something more to it.
The next day, Bethany, 17, took her child back the hospital and after a lumber puncture and blood tests, Izabelle was diagnosed with the deadly meningitis B, plus septicaemia.
The little tot was transferred to another hospital where she spent more than a week getting treated. She was discharged on Sunday (her first birthday) and is on the mend.
“She’s still not her normal self just yet, she’s got an upset tummy at the moment and is being sick a lot, but she’s getting there,” Bethany said.
An investigation has now been launched into the initial diagnosis and the circumstances surrounding it.
Bethany has used the horrible incident as a reminder for parents to get their children immunised, as little Izabelle missed out on hers by 13 days.
“We’re so grateful she’s back home with us,” Bethany said.
“Izabelle missed out on the vaccination by a matter of days, due to her being born just before the cut-off point.”
“If she’d had that injection then we probably wouldn’t have had to go through all of this.”
She continued: “So I would urge other parents to get their babies vaccinated, it’s just horrible.”
A British mother who died in hospital two days after giving birth was killed by sudden adult death syndrome (SADS), an inquest has heard.
Senior doctors said nothing could have prevented Lisa Parkinson’s death, which happened at the Royal Oldham Hospital in June 2014.
However Parkinson’s family say they still have questions about her care in the hours before she was discovered unresponsive in her hospital bed.
Lisa Parkinson gave birth to a baby boy, Zac, following a Caesarean section.
The following day, her family expected to collect her from the hospital and bring her home with baby Zac. But instead they received a devastating call from the hospital.
Speaking to the preliminary inquest hearing yesterday, Mr Parkinson said when he arrived at the hospital a crash team were performing CPR on his daughter, the Daily Mail reports.
“I walked into the room and there were about eight people all around on her.”
“One of them was giving her CPR. I’ve seen it on the telly before, but it was nothing like this.”
‘”I had never seen anything like that in my life. I could not watch it any more. I couldn’t watch them do that to my little girl.”
‘”My other daughter met me in the corridor and I said to her, ‘she’s gone’.”
Parkinson’s family said they have questions about the length of time Lisa had been left in bed without observations.
The hospital records show that she had been given painkillers at 4.05am after complaining of rib and shoulder pain.
A midwife checked on her at 6.25am and found her “sleeping and breathing”. But two hours later another medic found her unresponsive.
“Should more have been done at that time?” Val Wroe, Parkinson’s Auntie asked.
“That’s the question that torments us.”

The supermodel and the Let’s Dance singer were married for 24 years and had one daughter, Alexandria Zahra Jones, in 2000. However, he sadly passed away on January 10 of this year.
Prior to his passing, Iman took part in OWN’s Oprah: Where Are They Now? series and said the secret to a lasting marriage was timing.
“You have to be at the right time in your life that you’re ready for an everlasting relationship, that it becomes first, a priority in life.
“If your career is important to you, don’t get married and have children, because something will give.”
She added, “’I know as women we want to be able to have it all, but we can’t have it all at the same time.
“So make your priority of what you want at that time. And sometimes you don’t even have to get married. Why do you have to get married?”
She also joked, “People say, ‘But do you give him fashion tips?’ What are you, crazy? We’re talking about David Bowie. He is fashion.”

The Duke of Cambridge has opened up about the important role that his grandmother, The Queen played in his life following the death of his mother, Diana.
The dashing Prince William was just a 15-year-old teen when his mother Diana was tragically killed in Paris. Her eldest son rarely discusses the incident, but a new interview has the royal speaking out.
Chatting to Sky News ahead of the Queen’s 90th birthday, William spoke out about how his grandmother was the “strong female influence” he needed as a teenager.
“Having lost my mother at a very young age, it has been particularly important for me that I had somebody like the Queen to look up to and who has been there and has understood some of the more complex issues when you lose a loved one,” he mused.
Recounting a stand-out memory of Her Majesty’s guidance, the royal shared a fond story from his childhood.

“[We] were on a quad bike in Balmoral and we were chasing Zara around who was on a go-cart. Peter and I managed to herd Zara into a lamppost and the lamppost came down and nearly squashed her,” William, 33, began.
“I remember my grandmother being the first person out and running across the lawn in her kilt. She came charging over and gave us the most almighty bollocking.”
“That sort of stuck in my mind from that moment on that I really should be a little bit more careful about what I’m doing and try not to kill my cousins.”
Wills considered his grandmother a “strong female influence” after his mother’s death.
And despite the recent criticism the father-of-two has met for cutting back on his royal duties and his job as an air ambulance pilot, he insists that Her Majesty has his back, and supports his choice to spend more time with his adorable family.
“Surprisingly, she is very supportive of what I’m doing at the moment – she understands that I’m a family man and I want to be around for my children as much as I can,” the handsome royal said before adding: “There’s a time and a place for taking on more and more responsibilities, and that will come.”

“To be honest, I’m going to get plenty of criticism over my lifetime and it’s something that I don’t completely ignore, but it’s not something I take completely to heart,” said William to BBC in a separate interview.
“I’m concentrating very much on my role as a father. I’m a new father and I take my duties and my responsibilities to my family very seriously and I want to bring my children up as good people with the idea of service and duty to others as very important. But if I can’t give my time to my children as well, I worry about their future.”
Speaking of his family, the father of George, two, and Charlotte, 11-months, had some choice words to say about his cheeky son in a recent chat with BBC’s Nick Witchell.
When asked whether his son is beginning to realise that he isn’t part of a “normal family”, William replied, “Well, as far as we’re concerned, within our family unit we are a normal family.”
“I love my children the same way any father does.”
“I love my children the same way any father does and I hope George loves me the same way any son does to his father, so we are very normal in that sense,” the future King quipped before adding, “And you know, George, there’ll be a time and a place to bring George up and understand how he fits in the world.”
“But right now, it’s just a case of keeping a secure, stable environment around him and showing him as much love as I can as a father.”
Meanwhile in a teaser for the upcoming BBC documentary, *Elizabeth at 90 – A Family Tribute(, which will be aired at 9pm on Wednesday night in England, a proud Prince William and Prince Harry can be seen watching old family videos of their dad, Prince Charles.
In the snippet, the brothers point out the family similarities. “He walks like George or George walks like him,” Harry says of his two-yea-old nephew.

After buying Blac Chyna a huge diamond ring, worth more than a yacht, Rob Kardashian upped his game and bought her a car worth more than a house.
Taking to Snapchat, the future Mrs Kardashian proudly showed off her brand new, purple luxury 2016 Huracan that retails for about $200,000.
“Thank you baby for my Huracan Lamborghini,” she gushed.
Adding, “Yes! So happy!”
The video was captioned, “Thank you baby!”
Chuffed with his purchases, Rob proudly stands next to Blac, who can’t help but flaunt her ring.
We’re not sure what’s more blinding, the car’s metallic exterior or the $325,000 diamond rock she’s flashing in the pic.
The duo, who have been dating since January, got engaged less than three weeks ago.
Rob asked his friend Ben Baller to design the seven-carat, round-cut brilliant triple excellence diamond.
Blac is in love with her sparkler.
“She was really going crazy over the ring. She loves it,” Ben told E! News after their engagement.
Adding, “$325,000 is pretty close to what he paid, but it could have been a lot more because of the clarity,” before noting Rob paid for the ring “himself”.
The couple got engaged on April 4, and according to an insider who spoke to People, they’re “very excited” about wedding planning and are even “talking about babies”.
