Love to hear these stories! Congratulations OP. I went through something similar last year, TTC for 8 years, failed ivf etc, and just as I was about to turn 39 I found out I was pregnant. It was such a shock!

I now have a beautiful 6 month old and now aged 40 I have just found out that I am expecting baby number 2! Crazy after so many years of infertility, I've no idea how it's happened but I'm delighted. I thought it was never going to happen for us and now we get 2!

Please keep us updated on your lovely miracle throughout your pregnancy journey.

Congratulations OP, so pleased it's going well. Just wondering, is your daughter ok with it all? I can imagine it may be tough with her having other struggles. Hope the while family are on board, and supportive. Flowers
