The video you are about to watch is a raw and real reaction just minutes after confirming our 3rd pregnancy thinking it would never happen this way," she wrote. "I never want to come off ungrateful or insensitive to what others are going through therefore, if you are still in your waiting phase whether that is for baby number 1 or baby number 16, please proceed with caution."

"It wasn't even five hours. It was literally two hours after I said that," she explained. "If you're wondering why we don't seem that surprised, more so like, dang, the reality of it really kicked in, kind of. We're putting the kids to bed today, tonight, and I got just doing our normal routine, I got a notification on my phone that said that, from my Flow app, that said that my period was 11 days late. It's not uncommon for it to be late."

During her pregnancy with her second child, Curry-Lee shared her fertility struggles with her followers in the hopes that it can help others who can relate and not feel so alone in their journeys.
During National Infertility Awareness Week last year, Curry-Lee shared a video on Instagram captioned, "The days of wondering if we will ever have the family we yearn for.

I remember those trenches."
