Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet enjoy first Xmas as a four in sweet photo after daughter’s hospital dash
TOWIE couple Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet have shared their first Christmas as a family of four after welcoming their second child together earlier this year.
The proud parents beamed in the snap as they marked the big day with their adorable children.
Tommy took to Instagram to share a snap of him and Georgia cradling the two little ones as he captioned the snap: “Merry Christmas, lots of love.”
Georgia looked as though she was certainly in the festive spirit as she donned a sparkly dress for Christmas Day.
Tommy kept things casual as he paired a plain white T-shirt with a cream-coloured cardigan and a pair of denim jeans.
The couple’s eldest child, Brody, was seen in a red shirt which matched his little sister Gigi’s outfit for their first Xmas as a four.
Their adoring followers were quick to share their well-wishes to the pair with one writing: “Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family.”
Before another said: “Merry Christmas bezzie, happiness looks off the scale on ya.”
Their happy Christmas comes just weeks after little Gigi was involved in a scary hospital dash.
Gigi, who was born last month, was admitted to hospital just a week before Xmas.
In a snap uploaded at the time, Georgia cuddled her daughter, she wrote: “Baby girl not well… trip to a&e and she has bronchitis.
“Worst thing when they are this small.”
She also begged fans for tips on how to cope with the diagnosis at such a young age, adding: “She’s only 3 weeks old.”
The couple previously shared the happy news they were expecting again after suffering a tragic miscarriage last year.
Last year the couple were left heartbroken when they 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.
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.
