Georgia Kousoulou’s mum life, from banning son saying ‘can’t’ to divisive parenting choice as fans get peek at new baby
TOWIE’S Georgia Kousoulou has given fans a first look of their baby girl by revealing four ultrasound scans of their upcoming arrival.
The reality star, 33, isn’t new to ‘mum life’, as she already has son Brody with ITVBe personality and businessman partner Tommy Mallet, 32.
Georgia wrote: “Our little girl. The first pictures we have actually been able to get as baby girl is breach with legs & arms in front of her face, her little hand under her chin.”
Georgia and Tommy left Towie in 2021 and were subsequently given their own reality show, Baby Steps, to document family life.
The pair secretly wed last year after welcoming their son Brody in 2021 – and have shared their parenting life with their millions of followers…
BANNED WORD
The family has one word that little Brody is banned from saying – and it’s not what you might think.
Tommy let slip the prohibited word in an interview, saying: “You should feel like you can do anything.
“My son’s not allowed to say the word can’t.”
It’s clear the proud dad wants the youngster to have a positive approach and “can do” attitude.
CLOSE PARENTING
Georgia has been candid with her followers about her parenting ups and downs, and admitted she was panicking about being separated from her son as he started nursery.
Last year, she posted a photo of her sobbing and wrote: “Mixed emotions..
lately I have been so teary the thought of Brody starting nursery in September makes me cry.
“I know it will be good for him & he will love it but I can’t help being sad that life as I know it for over two years is finished.
“He has been my shadow everyday.. & now I won’t be with him 3 days a week.”
LUXURY NURSERY
Her daughter will be treated to a luxury nursery, if Brody’s is anything to go by.
Previously Georgia proudly unveiled her cosy nursery for her firstborn filled with teddy bears, a huge cot and a fur rug.
The reality star revealed that her bundle of joy’s nursery is her “favourite room in the house” as she gave followers a photo tour of the completed space on their interior Instagram account.
The room in her £1million Essex mansion was totally transformed to make it fit for her little prince, with plush grey carpets, neutral walls, and plenty of homely personal touches.
Brody’s name is spelt out in large letters by the window, and framed photos of his scans were currently on display.
SPOILT LIFE
Tommy admitted that their son Brody is “spoiled” to an extreme length.
The ex TOWIE star who is known for his lavish lifestyle and extravagant purchases, admitted that he may have gone overboard when it comes to spoiling his little one.
Tommy joined Spencer Matthews on his podcast, Big Fish recently to discuss the topic of raising children without spoiling them or making them entitled.
He confessed: “I have spoilt my son so badly. And I feel like I’ve said so much that I have to be careful all the time because I’ve said things like:
“’I’m not going to spoil my boy. He needs to be brought up how I was brought up.’
The TV star became one of the most successful cast members, becoming a millionaire after launching his shoe brand Mallet.
However, he recently revealed his clash with his business partner Evren Ozka, which has now seen the pair lock horns in court.
Continuing his candid chat on Ben Gallagha’s Everybody Wants To Be Us podcast he told how his bank balance had plummeted.
MISCARRIAGE HEARTBREAK
Last year, they were left heartbroken after suffering a tragic miscarriage.
Georgis and Tommy went for their 12 week scan and were told about the rare chromosome disorder, called triploid syndrome, that meant their baby had no chance of survival.
The discovery left Georgia with the agony of having to undergo a termination – had she continued with the pregnancy, her baby would have been miscarried or stillborn.
Speaking about dealing with the news, Georgia previously said: “It’s a very hard thing to take in when someone says your baby isn’t going to survive, but you’re watching that same baby moving around.
“If there had been no heartbeat, it might have been easier to accept. I asked if it was my fault, or if there was anything I could have done differently.
“He said it was incredibly rare and nobody was to blame, but I couldn’t stop torturing myself.”
The couple halted filming their show Baby Steps while she came to terms with her loss, with Georgia later saying: “I was in the darkest place I’d ever been.”
What is miscarriage and why do pregnancies fail?
MISCARRIAGE is generally the death of an unborn baby in the first 24 weeks – approximately six months – of pregnancy.
Miscarriages may not be spoken about a lot but they are very common. Baby loss charity Tommy’s estimates there are at least 250,000 per year in the UK and that one in every five pregnancies ends in miscarriage.
It may not be clear why a miscarriage happens but they are rarely caused by anything done by the mother or father. Usually the embryo has a random genetic defect that means it cannot develop properly.
Most women can go on to successfully have healthy babies in the future.
The NHS says most miscarriages cannot be prevented but avoiding smoking, alcohol and drugs while pregnant can reduce the risk.
Some of the other most common reasons for a pregnancy to fail in the first 24 weeks are ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy is where a fertilised egg implants somewhere outside of the womb, usually in a fallopian tube. It cannot survive and grow there so either dies naturally or must be terminated.
Molar pregnancy is rarer but happens when a fertilised egg and/or placenta does not develop properly at the start of a pregnancy. There is no single reason why it happens and cannot be prevented, though it may be more common in very young or old mothers.
A baby who dies after 24 weeks is considered a stillbirth.
