Erin revealed she was pregnant with her first child in May, following a years-long fertility struggle.
The glamorous model told Stellar magazine that she was overcome by emotion when she finally received the exciting news.
‘I’m going to cry! It’s only taken me 30 seconds, and here I am crying. After 20 rounds of IVF, I’m pregnant, it feels so weird to say out loud,’ she began.
She added it was amazing to finally receive this joyful news after years of struggling to get pregnant, as she recounted just how difficult the journey had been.
‘It wasn’t easy to get here. I’ve had 20 rounds, five egg collections, seven transfers, four miscarriages, one ectopic pregnancy, one round of chemotherapy to save a tube, two hysteroscopies… I’ve injected myself thousands of times,’ she revealed.
‘This is the first time I’ve cried and it’s probably because I’m saying it out loud to someone other than my husband and immediate family.’
She then revealed that being 23 weeks pregnant was a surreal experience, after years of disappointment.
‘To be honest, it still kind of feels like I haven’t gotten into the club yet. I’m at the front of the line but I haven’t entered through. I know nothing is promised in fertility,’ she said.

‘I feel like I’m as close as I’ve ever been. That’s really exciting but it’s like a Pandora’s box of parenthood and I’m trying to pry it open with every plier and winch known to man.’
Erin then revealed how she and husband Ben would be parenting their child, given their unique long distance relationship.
‘My husband and I are based in two different cities for work, so we’ve started to have conversations about where we’re going to primarily live,’ she said.Â
‘He’s been in a team environment his entire life where cricket is a very family orientated sport. Families travel with the players a lot and he’s been around families for a really long time. It’s broken my heart that I couldn’t give him that.Â
‘I know he’s going to be a fantastic, really hands-on parent.’
