Carrie Bickmore Breaks Down When Sharing Concerns for New Baby

During her last radio gig before maternity leave, Carrie Bickmore shared her concerns about the impending arrival of her third child.

Speaking on her Hit Network radio show Carrie and Tommy, the 37-year-old mum broke down in tears as she opened up about adding a new member to her family.

In particular, she was worried about the impact a new baby would have on the close bond formed between her other two kids, Ollie, 11, and Evie, three.

“They’re so cute together,” Carrie said.

“They’re a little team. He (Ollie) never thought he was going to get a baby brother or sister and then he got a little sister and they’re seven years apart and they’re joined at the hip,” she continued.

“And I know families of three and I know they’ll all love each other so much, but I don’t want anything to happen to their bond. So it makes me a little sad,” she said.

Carrie said: “I’m very excited about my expanding family.”

“Ollie thinks we’re having a boy and Evie thinks we’re having a girl so one of them is going to be very disappointed and one very excited,’ she added.

Carrie had her eldest son Ollie during her relationship with her late husband Greg Lange who sadly passed away in 2010 after suffering from brain cancer.

She met her new partner, Chris Walker and together they welcomed young Evie into the world.

Love watching these two do life together. ???? Despite the 7 year gap they are so close. I am laying in bed at 6.30pm (gotta love maternity leave!) thinking about how their relationship might change a little when number 3 arrives. ???? hope they stay super close ????

Initially Evie may feel a bit left out as you suddenly have a newborn taking some of the time you would spend with her. With some understanding she will adjust to the facts. However she may not show signs of jealousy for a few months. I’ve witnessed that in two families

Carrie is so down to earth, her concerns are real and I’m sure her kids will continue to surprise her.

I am so excited for Carrie. Ollie is such a gorgeous kid, I’m sure he will be full of love for his new sibling as will Evie. I think they’re creating such a beautiful family.

I think most mums think & feel the same,but as we learn after the new bubs is born,we wonder WHY we ever worried,always so much love to go around & they’ll all share a unique bond.

Families make room for new family members and adjust.

I think it’s perfectly normal to worry. They will love their baby brother or sister and I’m sure it won’t affect the close bond Ollie and Evie have with each other. By the look and sound of it they have a lot of love to share and the new baby will be surrounded by love

I had the same thoughts when I was having my twins after my singleton, they were premmie so I spent so much time at the hospital when they were born, I felt like I was neglecting my eldest daughter. I think, they are normal worries.

A perfectly normal worry. I had the same worry about the impact on my first born when having my second. The trick is remembering that there won’t be less love but more!

They will adjust and become a close trio! It will all be ok.

Everything will be fine and you’ll wonder why you worried. I must admit I had four as with three there always seemed one left out – however the bonding can be different to what you think. I thought 1 & 2, then 3 & 4. Having a boy first then two girls then a boy, I then thought 1 & 4. 2 & 3. But in our case it turned out to be 1 & 3, 2 & 4. Go figure!
