Laura Henshaw’s subtle pregnancy announcement says it all.

In big news to brighten your week, KIC co-founder and CEO Laura Henshaw, 33, is expecting her first child.

The health and wellness entrepreneur shared the news in a subtle but sweet Instagram Reel on Thursday afternoon, posting a black-and-white video of her ultrasound accompanied by her trademark wide grin — and not a single word.

Just a red heart emoji.

In classic Laura style, she teased the announcement earlier in the day on her Instagram Stories with the caption: "Guys, I have news for you and I have so many words and thoughts and feelings but for now..."

It didn't take long for the comments to roll in. Fans and famous friends alike were quick to flood the post with joy.

"GUYS THIS IS THE BEST NEWS EVER 😭😭😭 so so happy for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️" wrote influencer Jade Tunchy.

"Wowwwww! Congratulations lovely," said big wave surfer Laura Enever.

The announcement comes just a few months after Laura's best friend and KIC co-founder Stephanie Miller (née Claire Smith) welcomed her second child, daughter Billie.

It's a full-circle moment for Laura, who has previously spoken candidly about her uncertainty around having kids.

In a piece for Mamamia last year, she wrote: "Growing up, I always assumed I would have children, because that's 'what women do'. But I've never had that innate feeling of knowing that I want to be a mum. I thought when I hit 31 I would feel ready, but over the past few years, the older I have gotten — the less ready I feel."

"There's so much to take into consideration. What if I wait 'too' long? I'll lose momentum in my career. My priorities will shift. I'll no longer have time for myself or my husband. I started asking myself, do I actually want kids?"

She explored the topic further in a three-part podcast series titled Do I Want Kids?, where she spoke to child-free advocates, parents, relationship experts and her husband, Dalton Henshaw.

Speaking to ELLE Australia earlier this year, she reflected on the shame she once felt around her indecision.

"I felt ashamed about it," she said. "We live in this prenatal society, which basically means that in the society we live in, there is the assumption that we will have children."

She continued: "I blinked and all my friends went from talking about contraception to being pregnant or having kids. And I started to feel like, what is wrong with me?"

At the time, she made it clear she did want children with Dalton — just not yet.

It seems the happy couple have decided that now is the right time to welcome parenthood into their lives.

Laura and Dalton have been happily married for four years now.

They met at a Christmas party, and while they were friends at first, soon a romance ensued. Despite describing themselves as "such different people" to Vogue, soon enough they realised they were meant to be.

A post shared by Dalton Henshaw (@dalthenshaw)

In a touching and progressive gesture, Dalton took Laura's last name when they wed in 2021.

During an Instagram Q&A, a fan once asked why. Laura shared a video of Dalton explaining, "The core reason why, is that it was always a conversation for me and it always has been.

"Nothing has ever been assumed as I was growing up, regardless of growing up in what would be a traditional woman taking the man's surname environment or family."

He added: "In this case it was always a conversation and that led to me taking Laura's name."

Dalton also explained the decision in a heartfelt Instagram post after their wedding.

"You can still call me Dalton, Dalt, Dolphin, whatever you like… I'm still the same me and always will be," he said. "I'm just going to sign off one chapter and start another with my beautiful, driven and inspirational wife by my side as Mr Henshaw."

And now, the Henshaws are preparing for their next chapter — parenthood.

Congratulations, Laura and Dalton!
