Laura Henshaw has hit back at a critic a day after announcing she is pregnant with her first child with husband Dalton.
The Kic CEO, who broke the exciting baby news on Thursday, took to Instagram on Friday after a fan pointed out her previous thoughts about having kids – a topic she was on the fence about.
‘Wasn’t it like couple months ago you said you never wanted kids?’ the person wrote in the comments section of her announcement.
Laura, 32, posted the comment along with her response to her Instagram story.
‘This is a very funny comment on this post, but just for your information last May I went on a journey to decide if I wanted to have kids or not as I didn’t know,’ she said.

The Kic CEO, who broke the exciting baby news on Thursday, took to Instagram on Friday after a fan pointed out her previous thoughts about having kids – a topic she was on the fence about
‘I decided I did want children and so did my husband.’
‘And while it wasn’t our experience, just an FYI, it is also okay for people to change their mind,’ she finished the reply.
Laura captioned the Instagram story: ‘While I didn’t change my mind (I just truly did not know) it would have been okay if I did.’
In a resurfaced interview with Mamamia last year, Laura confessed she wasn’t sure she wanted children.
‘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,’ she told the publication.
Laura added that time played a major role in making the decision and the moment she turned 30 she felt it was quickly ‘running out’.
Fertility also crossed the influencer’s mind and she speculated whether or not having children is ‘even possible’ for her if she ever made the decision to start a family.
She also opened up about struggling with whether or not she wanted to have children in her podcast series Do I Want Kids? in 2024 and admitted her indecision was difficult.
On Thursday, Laura revealed that she was pregnant and shared a sweet Instagram post which showed getting an ultrasound
‘I felt ashamed about it,’ she told ELLE magazine at the time.
‘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.
‘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?’
On Thursday, Laura revealed that she was pregnant and shared a sweet Instagram post which showed getting an ultrasound.
Laura beamed for the camera in the black and white clip, while an image on screen showed her growing baby.
The podcaster captioned her video, which was inundated with congratulations from friends and fans, with a simple love heart emoji.
