Little Svea carried her rattle toy as she took her first few steps in front of the family dog.

The bub giggled and babbled as she stepped forward, before landing on her knees.

The former footballer explained: ‘We’re going to have three babies. I’ll have the next one and Belle will have the third one – as long as I don’t have twins.’ 

As a second-time mother and first-time carrier, Moana said she felt ‘prepared because I’ve watched Belle go through it, but unprepared because I don’t know how it feels’.

She added: ‘I say to Belle every day, “I don’t know what you’re going through when you sit up all night and breastfeed. I can see it but I don’t know what it feels like.”‘

The ex-Collingwood star continued: ‘So for me I’m so excited to now know how it feels like… I’m excited to go through it.

‘If you want to and you have the option and you want to be a mum… going through that pregnancy stage is one of the greatest gifts of life.

‘You’re literally growing a human in your stomach.’
