'The baby had been missed in an earlier scan — I was pregnant after five years trying'

I know in my heart I’ve been gifted a miracle – there was no other understanding of that situation

My son, Kai, is six now. Prior to having him, I was five years trying for a baby. And only after those five years – and three miscarriages – did they do investigations to see what was happening.

At that stage, I’d been a single mother for years and had a 21-year-old son. I never thought I’d have a problem conceiving, I thought it can’t be me, it must be my new partner… he desperately wanted children.
