AFLW star Moana Hope teases her new role on iconic TV show Play School as she prepares to give birth

She is expecting a baby at the end of next month.

But former AFLW star Moana Hope revealed another exciting development in an Instagram post on Monday.

The 34-year-old actress showed off on the set of the famous Play School, saying she’s “excited” to share her new role on the iconic children’s television show “Soon.”

The caption read: “In my wildest dreams I never thought I’d be sitting in this chair. If you know the set, you’ll understand why. If not, I’m excited to share it with you soon. #verycool #fun #watchthisspace #tick’

The reveal comes after Hope talks about her favorite things about parenting challenges, pregnancy, and motherhood.

The 34-year-old from Melbourne is raising 17-month-old Svea with wife Isabella Carlstrom and will have baby number two in her third trimester by the end of next month.

Moana 9 said her biggest parenting mistake was being a “safe mom” and that she needed to stop “overdoing” her parenting style to follow her “mother’s intuition”.

“I really had to let go of my ‘safety mom’ because Svea will probably be a Red Bull athlete one day because she climbs everything,” the mom-to-be said.

“Not exactly a failure, but it was definitely something I had to adapt to to make sure I didn’t stop Svea from being who she wanted to be.”

Married in 2019, Moana and Isabella went through IVF to conceive both Svea and baby number two from the same donor.

The athlete is raising 16-month-old Svea with his wife, Isabella Carlstrom (pictured right), and is in her third trimester with baby number two by the end of next month.

Isabella gave birth to Svea in November 2020 and now Moana is carrying her second child in her womb.

During her first pregnancy, Moana said she received great advice from an Instagram follower who changed her perspective on parenting.

“I’ve read every book, listened to every podcast, followed everybody’s advice, but the best advice I ever got was a lady on Instagram saying ‘let your mommy’s intuition take over,'” she said.

Moana told 9honey that her biggest parenting “mistake” was being a huge “safety mom” and that she needed to stop “thinking too much” about her parenting style to follow her “mom’s” intuition.

“We dropped the books, we took out the podcasts, and we just became parents, and that was the best change we’ve ever made.”

Moana said her favorite thing about pregnancy was to hear all the “kicks” and “moves” of the baby, and she said having two kids under the age of two can be a daunting task, but she’ll ask for whatever help she can get from her wife and sister. lavender

The retired football player is the sole caregiver of Lavinia, or “Vinny” for short, 29, who has a rare neurological disorder called Moebius syndrome.

Having two children under the age of two can be a daunting task, Moana said, and she’ll ask her husband and foster sister Vinny (pictured right) for any help she can get.
