'I made an iced coffee and somebody replied [on social media] saying, 'I really hope that's decaf for the baba,'' Doireann told Ailbhe. 'Generally I would ignore but I just replied and said 'My doctor told me I could have a coffee a day,'' the presenter added, speaking on her podcast Doireann and Friends. Elsewhere, there is more baby joy within the Garrihy clan as Doireann's sister Ailbhe expecting her third child with husband Ruadhri Hehir. Pic: Doireann Garriy/ Instagram 'My fully-qualified medical practitioner,' Ailbhe chimed in, with Doireann adding: 'That was my way of mic-drop, 'There is no discussion.'' Doireann said: 'I was kinda like, first of all, why are you saying this to me and second of all, it's none of your business. 'I don't know how I'm going to prepare for a) judgement from people, and b) mom guilt as a result of people being judgey.' The presenter and broadcaster announced her pregnancy with husband Mark Mehigan earlier in the year, lamenting that it would be 'the greatest chapter yet.' Pic: Doireann Garrihy/ Instagram Ailbhe weighed in on the matter, admitting that pregnancy and parenthood 'opens up the floodgates' for people to say what they want. 'For me, there might be a picture of my kids in the car — 'They're not strapped in properly,' 'They shouldn't be forward facing.' You haven't physically been here to examine exactly how tight the thing is; their weight…' Ailbhe added that she didn't know what possessed people to send messages of the sort, noting 'it's not your place.' Elsewhere, Doireann revealed another message from a follower said they knew she was pregnant because her Dancing with the Stars outfits were 'very leg-focused.' Doireann responded noting she's been 'getting my legs out as much as possible since I was born,' with her older sister confirming: 'Your legs are your thing.'

Pic: Doireann Garrihy/ Instagram Doireann and Mark have refrained from disclosing her due date or whether they are expecting a boy or a girl, with followers thinking a recent social media post from Doireann was a clue. The Dublin native shared some behind the scenes as herself and her mum Clare painted pink wooden boards blue with Doireann later confirming she had four of the boards and was keeping two pink and two blue for her respective podcasts. 'Last year, I got four flats, so four of those and painted each of them blue for the background of Doireann and Friends and I loved how it looked so I used the same flats for The Laughs of Your Life and painted it pink and now, this year I've established, I actually only need two flats for Doireann and Friends and two for The Laughs of Your Life.

The pink and blue colours had many thinking it was something to do with a gender reveal for Doireann and Mark's new arrival. One follower messaged Doireann: 'Genuinely thought it was a gender reveal when I saw the blue paint earlier but was also confused why it was being changed pink to blue.' Sharing the message to her Instagram Story, Doireann said: 'The amount of people that thought that this was some sort of gender reveal prep that I was doing… getting my mom to paint these slats — I mean I got my mom to paint these slats anyway, but she offered, very kind of her to help me today because I'm under time pressure. 'But imagine if it was for a gender reveal? I just — I mean, each to their own with gender reveals, of course but… like, no. It was for the podcast.'
