Channel 10 reporter Pippa Sheehan gives birth to healthy boy after tragically suffering six miscarriages

Channel 10 reporter Pippa Sheehan and her husband Jim welcomed their second son Monty on Wednesday, after tragically suffering six miscarriages.

The journalist, 35, revealed in a statement her ‘heart is full’ after welcoming young Monty and she was thrilled her elder son Alfie, three, now had a brother to play with.

‘It was absolutely the best feeling. I felt so strong and empowered, and this was an incredibly restorative and precious time for us as a family,’ she said.

‘Alfie knew each time I was pregnant, and to be able to tell him Monty is finally here was so wonderful and special.’

Pippa also shared a gallery of precious baby photos to Instagram on Monday and captioned it with some heartwarming words.

‘He’s here. Monty (and his hair) joined us on Wednesday evening… he’s everything we imagined and more,’ she wrote.

‘His birth was such a life-affirming experience, and we are so grateful to our care providers.’

Back in October, Pippa opened up about the bittersweet feeling of giving birth to her healthy son Alfie in 2020 after suffering six miscarriages.

The Queensland based TV journo told the Courier Mail she continues to grieve for her lost children as she raises her toddler son Alfie.

She also revealed how a simple question strangers often ask can trigger her sadness.

Ms Sheehan said people often ask her and her husband, ‘Just the one?’, when they’re out with their son, which reminds her of the children she lost.

‘It was absolutely the best feeling. I felt so strong and empowered, and this was an incredibly restorative and precious time for us as a family,’ Pippa said

‘It’s lovely and we have been blessed with a beautiful little son; however, just the one visibly, yes, but I hold seven babies in my heart and it’s really hard,’ she said.

‘They are all loved and, yes, we have just got the one, but they’re all precious.’

The Brisbane native said the grief of losing her unborn babies never fully went away and she had simply developed coping strategies. 

Ms Sheehan is now involved with a charity that supports those affected by pregnancy loss so she can help others going through a similar experience.
