‘Oscar’s little brother due in April next year. We are so lucky,’ she added, tagging her husband.
On Wednesday, the Channel Nine star revealed for the first time that she underwent IVF to have Oscar.
Sylvia, who welcomed her first child with husband Peter in February, broke down in tears as she discussed her own struggles with infertility on Today Extra.
Sylvia was speaking to mother Brooke Campbell about IVF treatment and the ‘daunting and overwhelming’ decision of what to do with leftover frozen embryos once a family no longer wants to use them.
As Brooke discussed the options available, a clearly-emotional Sylvia said: ‘Brooke, I know from my personal experience with IVF that so much goes into having a successful embryo.’
As she fought through tears, she continued: ‘…and having something sitting there that gives you the opportunity to make life for your family. How are you and your husband coping?’
Alongside Brooke on the panel was IVF specialist Dr Ric Gordon, who outlined the four options available for unwanted frozen embryos – storing, donating to science, donating to a couple and disposal.
At the end of the segment, Sylvia’s co-host David Campbell asked if she was alright, before giving her a supportive touch on the hand.
Sylvia and husband Peter have made no previous comments on their struggles with infertility.
They announced they were expecting their first child in August 2019 – two years after getting married – writing on Instagram: ‘We’re having a baby boy and we’re totally over the moon!!’
In June, Sylvia told Today Extra how she was finding motherhood so far.
She said on the show: ‘It’s just been the most wonderful and surprising experience.
‘It is every emotion at its extreme and all mixed in together. It is an extreme and deep joy, it is rational anxiety.’
‘But mostly just joy and wonder, and in awe of this beautiful little boy,’ she added.
