The baby announcement comes just days after Turia posted a picture on Instagram with the caption: ‘We’re frothing to meet you Baby Hoskin!’
On her blog, the motivational speaker revealed she wasn’t nervous about the birth of her first child.
‘Of course, with any big change approaching, there’s a certain element of uncertainty,’ she noted.
‘And when you know that you’re going to experience pain, that can be pretty scary,’ she added. ‘But I’m not looking at it that way.’

The motivational speaker said she was going to apply the same technique to every major surgery she had since the fire in 2011 to the birthing process.
‘I write a list of all the bad things that could happen – it’s going to hurt, I don’t know if I can do it, what if I can’t handle the pain,’ she said.
‘Then I write a list of all the good things – how grateful I am to still be here, to have a beautiful partner like Michael, and to get to experience this.
‘I could look at it in the negative way, or the empowering way. If I look at it in the empowering way, I feel better – so that’s the way I choose.’
