Fans were delighted when Casey Donovan announced her pregnancy in October.
However the Australian Idol alum has taken to social media to share an unexpected update in her journey to motherhood.
In a post to her Instagram Stories, Casey shared a photo of a blood glucose monitoring system with the song Takin’ Care of Business playing over the top.
“Gestational diabetes… A little plot twist in our pregnancy journey. Taking a big breath and being kind to myself,” she wrote in the caption.
At the time of the announcement, Casey shared a photo of herself holding a “Cool Bubs Club” onesie while her fiancée, Renee Sharples, holds a collection of ultrasound photos.
“After extensive research, clinical assessment and absolutely no musical rehearsal… Baby arriving February 2027 👩🏻🐰👩🏾👶🏽✨️@renee.sharples,” she wrote in the caption.
That’s not the only Donovan bub arriving in 2027 however, as Casey’s cousin is also expecting.
“That’s two baby Donovans arriving in Feb 🙂 Me and one of your many, many cousins are having a little girl,” Emma Kelly, revealed in the comments section.
The singer has been open about living with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), which was previously known as polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS, and was told from a young age that it would be hard for her to get pregnant.
“I just had this monologue in my head that [said], ‘You’re not going to have babies. It’s not going to be a thing for you’,” she previously admitted to nine.com.au.
