Healthy baby girl ends nightmare of 19 miscarriages for woman

A WOMAN who suffered 19 miscarriages has spoken of her joy after giving birth to a healthy baby girl.

Annette Quinlan, 42, has a rare condition which means her immune system attacks a growing embryo and destroys the placenta.

The psychiatric nurse, from Chester, was unable to carry a baby beyond seven weeks before miscarrying. But following treatment by a powerful steroid, her 14-year agony has ended.
