In typical Amy style, the pregnancy was announced with a funny nod to Duchess Meghan – and a little help from a clever friend.

Pregnant politics

Hinting at a possible pregnancy, Amy pretty hilariously shared a face-swapped Instagram post of Meg and Harry. She’d popped her and husband Chris Fischer’s heads on the Duke and pregnant Duchess’s photo – and then brilliantly asked her followers to become more engaged politically. #BecauseTrump 

As she teased a pregnancy reveal with this face-swap – she pointed fans over to her pal Jessica Yellin at News Not Noise’s Instagram Stories to get the actual baby scoop.
