Lera Kudryavtseva is pregnant with 2018: exclusive details

Photo:Sergey Dzhevakhashvili - Rumors about my pregnancy have been popping up every year for the past five years, as soon as I put on a dress that is even slightly wide at the waist. So be it. I take these conversations more than calmly and even positively to some extent. You never know, they might even predict a real pregnancy for me. I myself am not at all averse to becoming a mother again, - Lera admitted in June 2017. Could she have imagined that almost a year later she would be posing in that same loose-fitting dress hugging her husband, hockey player Igor Makarov, already being in an interesting position? She and Makarov, a player for the Salavat Yulaev club, have been together for more than five years. "It's amazing how just one person who accidentally came into your life can change it dramatically: your worldview, habits, thoughts, feelings, actions... Just one person!" - Lera shared on her social networks after several months of romance. At that time, Makarov played for St. Petersburg SKA, and the TV presenter often went to the city on the Neva to watch her lover train and unexpectedly fell in love with hockey. Igor proposed to her... in the car. Lera, without a doubt, said yes. In 2013, the lovers had a lavish wedding. And since then, they have been practically inseparable. And now, in the midst of the World Hockey Championship, Makarov took his wife to Italy for a few days, arranging a romantic mini-vacation for her before maternity leave. And he published a photo on his Instagram, thus declassifying the news. It is understandable: Igor will have his first child, it is difficult to contain his emotions. But Lera is in no hurry to share the details. Photo: Igor Makarov's Instagram

Childbirth is not worth it to her husband

How the happy couple is preparing for a new addition to the family,Friends and colleagues of the TV presenter shared the story with Antenna. “Lera and I have been friends for decades,” said singer Yulia Nachalova. “The last time we talked a lot about her pregnancy was the other day. I gave birth 11 years ago (the singer has a daughter, Vera, from football player Evgeny Aldonin. — Antenna’s note). We discussed things that allow a future mother to sleep comfortably, walk, all sorts of gadgets and innovations in this regard. So much has changed and appeared since Lera and I became mothers! We went over the topic of feeding in detail. We discussed that my Vera was breastfed, and when I finished, I wanted her nutrition to be as natural as possible. That’s why I went out of town and brought bottles of goat’s milk home. We heated it to a certain temperature so as not to kill the beneficial elements. There are statistics that goat’s milk is 86% similar to mother’s milk. I advised Lera to adopt my experience. She reads reviews on this matter in authoritative sources. - I gave her a lot of specific instructions as a friend. Firstly, to look more at beautiful things, plants, views. Secondly, at some point every pregnant woman starts to feel inferior because it is uncomfortable to wear her usual clothes, you can’t fit into your favorite sweater. I told her that she is now an aquarium with a goldfish. To keep her nerves calm, you need to draw pleasant pictures in your head, do creative work for the soul. And thirdly, take vitamins and protect yourself from negative news. This does not mean indifference to everything, now something else is more important. Lerochka listened to everything. We gossiped about the fact that in recent years beautiful underwear for pregnant women has appeared that supports the belly. We also discussed fashionable partner births. I told Lera that I did not allow my husband to be present at the birth. She agreed that this process is a sacrament, in which only doctors and nurses should participate, and that everything cannot be shown. We did not ask Igor Makarov's opinion on this matter. They had been married for a long time, and people around were gossiping: why isn't she giving birth? But she and I believed: everything has its time. Man proposes, God disposes. And this year everything came together. And Lera doesn't care at all about the baby's gender. The main thing is that there is a child inside. Photo: Persona Stars— We remembered with her that it is popular among Western stars to organize a baby shower (a party before childbirth, where relatives and friends are told the baby's gender in an intricate way, for example, with the help of a pink or blue cake filling. — Ed. "Antenna"). Lera and I like that at this get-together there are a lot of beautiful flowers on the tables and everyone brings gifts for the newborn - spoons, blankets, handicrafts. However, we agreed that Russia has a different tradition associated with Orthodoxy. We celebrate after baptism, when the child is hidden from evil eyes.
