June Shannon’s rocky road to motherhood

June Shannon talks to Catherine Shanahan about the long and painful process of trying to start a family with her husband, Tony Curtis. After several failed IVF treatments, she tried egg donation and is now 16 weeks pregnant.

SIXTEEN weeks into a pregnancy that traverses half of Europe and took three to tango instead of two, June Shannon is finally on the cusp of motherhood.

The 43-year-old, who has spoken on the national airwaves about her difficulties conceiving, opted for egg donation after six years of mostly heartbreak, much expense and multiple disappointments travelling the more traditional IVF route.
