But "literally the day before we were meant to meet our IVF doctor, I realized I was late," van der Pol added, sharing that she canceled the appointment after a pregnancy test came out positive. "I put the pregnancy stick on Johnno's pillow and watched him figure it out when he came in to bring me my morning coffee."
