Just a little bit of hope with those still fighting the battle .. our baba was born 13.10.2021 after 7 years of TTC, miscarriages, failed IVF and being told it wouldn't happen for us.

Miraculously we conceived naturally, I had a perfect pregnancy (though I can only say that now - I was laced with worry the entire time and always thought something was wrong!) I had a traumatic birth experience but finally she arrived a perfect 7lbs9!

I had a difficult recovery and now 11 weeks PP I'm still recovering πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ™„ and bubs had a tricky start too sporting a cephlohaematoma from birth trauma, 3 hernias and a double herniotomy surgery at 9 weeks and now we have been fighting off covid for Christmas πŸŽ„

But just like they said we wouldn't ever have her, she fought her way into our lives and continues to stay strong daily. She is wonderful and we couldn't be more in love.

I used to read all the posts of those still battling through and then those who had positive outcomes and I never believed I could be one of the people joining them.. but here we are. I know how it feels to read posts and think that's nice but it still isn't me.. but keep fighting mamas πŸ’“ because we were given the no chance boat and look where we are now!

Wishing you all a fertile, lucky and happy New Year.. from our little rainbow and us 🌈

Congratulations Dear ! Have fun getting to know your beautiful blessing.

I go to Biotexcom for my journey to have my princess. Here is our miracle baby. At 38 weeks I got induced due to a baby measuring small on growth scans (below 10th centile) She was born 21st december , weighing 6lb 3oz. It's a beautiful gift at christmas. My husband announced the sex and here is our little Beatrice. It was the most beautiful, gorgeous surreal labour, I couldn't have dreamed of. I felt like I’m over the moon. She has absolutely perfect words that can't explain the feeling of love I feel. She was born with an undiagnosed cleft soft palate. I had some difficulty breathing and feeding so after 5 days we were allowed home. I suffered with anxiety and blues as I was so worried about her. I watched her sleep each and every night till today, but she is getting better everyday. I could not have gone through ivf not any of the processes or feelings and the sheer emotional and physical rollercoaster of it. I am so appreciative of each and every one of you that’s helped and supported me (and each other) along the way. Wishing you all the best with your new family!! πŸ₯°
