Holt, a proud mother to two children, revealed the exciting news of her third pregnancy with husband Andrew Joblon on social media, expressing her joy and gratitude. However, behind the scenes, the actress admitted to grappling with the fear of another heartbreaking loss, having experienced a miscarriage in 2018.

The "47 Meters Down" actress took to her blog, The Corner, to reveal that the memories of her previous loss are still clouding her mind with fear and anxiety.

Holt wrote, per Daily Mail, "I took multiple tests each day to make sure the line was getting darker. My Google searches switched to miscarriage statistics and signs of loss."

She added, "I often wonder what it must be like to go through a pregnancy without worrying that something will take your baby from you. Without waiting for bad news at every appointment."

The actress bravely acknowledged that even after "two healthy pregnancies," the fear of miscarriage continues to haunt her.

According to Daily Mail, Holt addressed the emotional journey she has been on, highlighting the complexities and challenges of pregnancy after experiencing a loss.

The actress continued in her post by expressing gratitude for the two children she shares with her husband, Andrew Joblon, and how she thought that after having them, she'll feel "more hopeful." However, she acknowledged that the thought of miscarriage remains a constant battle.

"I never really let myself get too excited as if it would somehow protect me from the pain if something weren't right. It's a sad way to experience something so beautiful, but I guess it's human nature to want to shield yourself from heartache," she said.

In a heartwarming moment at the Cannes Film Festival, Holt delighted fans and the media by unveiling her blossoming baby bump, officially confirming that she is expecting her third child with Joblon.

The joyous revelation came as she walked the red carpet for the premiere of the Martin Scorsese film, "Killers of the Flower Moon," while cradling her baby bump in a gray Lanvin gown with a flowing train, making headlines and causing a wave of excitement among her fans.

The "H2O: Just Add Water" star exuded radiance and maternal bliss as she proudly showcased her baby bump in an Instagram post. She captioned it, "me & no 3."

With the news of her third pregnancy, Holt joins the ranks of numerous celebrities who have celebrated their growing families in recent years. The actress and her husband, Joblon, have been happily married since 2018 and are already proud parents to their two adorable children.

The couple's first child, a son named James, was born in 2019, followed by their daughter, Elle, who joined the family in September 2020.

In her heartfelt blog post, the actress revealed that rather than allowing fear to overshadow her joyous moments, she had embraced the present and celebrated this precious stage of her life.

Accompanied by a picture of herself lying in bed, Holt wrote, "As I write this, I'm a different person to the one who couldn't get out of her sweats six weeks ago. Although I still have moments of nausea, it's manageable, and my energy has returned to pre-pregnancy levels."

She added, "I'm still scared, of course. I know that so many things can happen between now and 40 weeks. I won't let those fears rob me of my joy, though. I'm so thankful for all the love and support I've received, and I can't wait to share this journey with you all. Now someone drinks a cocktail for me!"
