Inaugural Bachelor winner Anna Heinrich will give birth to her first child later this year alongside husband Tim Robards.
And the 33-year-old is now reminiscing on filming the 2013 series – which happened to change her life forever.
Speaking to Stellar magazine on Sunday, the criminal lawyer-turned-reality star details what she thought 26-year-old Anna would think of her life now.

Anna admitted she was initially nervous that if she fell pregnant it would impact her career.
It comes amid big changes for herself and husband Tim, who quit his role on Channel 10 soap Neighbours in Melbourne in order to be with his wife in Sydney.
Last Friday, the 37-year-old addressed the ‘gut-wrenching decision’ in an Instagram post detailing the decision to step away from his acting dreams.

The actor explained how COVID-19 travel restrictions and a self-isolated production break in Sydney prompted him to ‘get back’ to his pregnant wife Anna.
‘You may have noticed I’ve been laying pretty low on socials,’ he began.
‘I made the gut-wrenching decision to depart Neighbours early as my responsibilities as a husband and father have to take precedence,’ he said in an official statement this month.

In April, the pair both announced the pregnancy news in their own Instagram posts.
‘It’s been so hard to keep this a secret, over the past few months, but I can now finally shout… I’M PREGNANT!!!’ wrote Anna.
