Ex-newsreader Kelly Nestor, a mum for second time at 44 after heartache of miscarriages Kelly Nestor and Scott Matthews with sons Oliver and baby Austin. AT 44, Kelly Nestor knows how "incredibly lucky" she is to be the mother of two young boys. The former newsreader became a mum for the second time with the arrival of baby Austin on February 7. "I just have to pinch myself every day," Nestor said this week, with her fiance Scott Matthews, 35, and their son Oliver, 2, by her side at their beachside home in Adelaide's southern suburbs. This is everything that I have ever wanted. I feel like I'm swimming in bliss. But it's been a tough road to parenthood for the Adelaide media personality. In a devastating blow, Nestor lost two babies before Austin was conceived. The first pregnancy ended at eight weeks and she lost a second child at 14 weeks gestation. The couple named that baby Murray - in honour of their love of the River Murray - and had a small ceremony before scattering his ashes. Nestor said she preferred to use the term "loss of a baby" rather than "miscarriage," which she felt was "too medical." "The loss of a baby in pregnancy doesn't get spoken about openly enough and I just think it's really important to acknowledge all our little babies as part of our family," Nestor said. Life has incredible twists and turns, and just when you think, `this is the worst thing that could ever happen to me', another door opens because of that tragedy or misfortune and greatness comes from it. Tiny Austin, who was conceived naturally, made an early entrance into the world at Burnside War Memorial Hospital. Nestor was 37½ weeks pregnant and had started showing signs of high blood pressure, which she also experienced while pregnant with Oliver. She was suffering from pre-eclampsia again, so her medical team decided to deliver the baby by caesarean section. Matthews said he was incredibly proud of the way his fiancee had coped with difficult pregnancies and the emotional devastation of losing two babies. "As a father, I now have a true appreciation for the difficulty of what it must be like being pregnant," the mortgage broker said. Kelly embraced pregnancy in all its glory and I watched her rail against its difficulties and pull herself up from the devastation with a determination that was remarkable. Nestor said an added bonus to Austin's arrival was his weight at 2880 grams. "I'm a proud Broken Hill girl and 2880 is the Broken Hill postcode," she said. So there is a little bit of Broken Hill in our Mr Austin. Oliver had nicknamed his younger brother Pinky Ponk, a character in his favourite TV show In The Night Garden. "He called him that while I was pregnant but I've told him the baby has a proper name now," said Nestor, who said she was in no hurry to return to work running her business consultancy firm.
