“I’ve been as open and honest as I could about our struggles with infertility and I truly believed that this day wasn’t going to be possible for us. So when I saw this positive pregnancy test… I wasn’t jumping for joy.

She then thanked her loved ones for their support throughout her pregnancy journey before sharing a heartfelt message for those struggling with infertility.
“It’s incredibly important for me to recognise that although this is the best news for Thomas and me, my heart aches for anyone who sees this and feels pain… It feels like I’m caught between two worlds.
“It’s not an easy road, and I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy. It’s one hell of an emotional roller coaster. Stay strong, keep fighting,” she finished.
