Fifi Box shares unexpectedly candid pregnancy update

Fifi Box speaks to an entire nation regularly, but as she’s pregnant, some things are still off limits.

That was, until her close friend and television presenter Lisa Wilkinson tried her best to help her out with her “pregnancy-related sciatica”.

"Pregnancy related sciatica kicked in today but lucky I had Dr @lisa_wilkinson on hand for a deep tissue massage! Magic hands," wrote Fifi.

"I can't recommend @lisa_wilkinson highly enough for any lower back remedial pain you might have, magic elbows!!" she shared on another post.

Lisa Wilkinson also shared the snap on her Instagram, saying:

"Beautiful @fifi_box is 28 weeks pregnant and and let's just say, she's having issues that only a buttock massage from a trusted girlfriend can solve!

"So we did this before heading into @theprojecttv studio tonight. And yes, I'm available for hire!"

Box explained to The Project how difficult it was to conceive via IVF.

"Nearly three years ago, I made the decision that the right path for me and my little family was to go through IVF with the help of a donor.

"So I went to the clinic and I think most women in their late 30s would know when you walk in to see an IVF specialist and you're shown the graph, gives you a very rude shock about your chances, from then on it was a case of fingers crossed," she explained.

"You don't share it because you don't know if you're going to have any success. I was given a 7% chance of having a baby!

"It's still a bit of shock to me, we're just really thrilled," an elated Fifi added.

This is her second child, which has been conceived by an unknown sperm donor. Fifi's first child Trixie, aged 5, is with Olympian swimmer Grant Kelly.
