AMAZING: Mum Discovers She is Pregnant Just Before Starting IVF Treatment After 9 Years of Trying

admin

26-year-old Amber Worth was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries at 19. Subsequently, she had a miscarriage and doctors told her she could no longer conceive naturally. After nine years of trying for a baby, she succumbed to the doctors’ verdict and opted for IVF treatment. She was however left absolutely stunned when she had a positive pregnancy test just seven weeks before her IVF treatment was billed to start.

She welcomed a baby boy, Luca, with hubby, Simon, 36, in November, 2014.

The excited new mum told DailyMail: ‘He really is my miracle baby and being his mother is the most amazing feeling. I just couldn’t believe it when I found out I was pregnant. I kept waiting for something to go wrong but here we are today. I was always the big one among friends and I never thought I’d have a baby at all, so to have Luca really is special. When he was born I just heard this baby crying and then someone told me he was mine and I couldn’t contain myself. I’ve never felt so happy. After all that time of desperately wanting a child and thinking it would never happen, here he was.’

Doctors have since attributed her conception success to the fact she had lost three stone to fit into her wedding dress.

Amber recalled: ‘I was so preoccupied on losing weight for my wedding that, for the first time in years, getting pregnant wasn’t on my mind. All I could think about was getting into my wedding dress – even when I was getting geared up to start the treatment, the wedding was everything. I just couldn’t believe it. I kept thinking something was going to go wrong and it didn’t seem real until I saw my first scan and my baby on the screen. It only then that I thought “this is actually going to happen”. Then, when I had Luca, I just couldn’t stop crying. After all this time, he is here and doctors have told me losing the weight definitely increased my chances of having a child. I was the only one out of the group of my friends who didn’t have a child and I was always the ‘big one’ when we went on a night out. I knew I had to do something about my weight but I didn’t realise what a huge impact it would have on my life.’
