I finally got my baby at 35 years old, after 2 years of trying. I love my little baby boy - Benjamin Toby he has changed my whole world for the better. I never thought that having a baby would be as wonderful as it is.

I had a miscarriage in Nov 2007 at 6.5 weeks and a second miscarriage in July 2008 at 10.3 weeks (no hearbeat on u/s). We started TTC again in August 2008 and this time all our dreams came true, with a textbook pregnancy and a healthy baby.

The Beginning: Took HPT on 30th October 2008 and I'm calling it! I am pregnant




Diagnosed with the Factor V Leiden Heterozygous gene + elevated Homocysteine levels - both cause the blood to clot too much and is linked to recurrent miscarriage, stillbirths, pre-eclampsia, low birth weight, and premature labour. Took low dose aspirin & mega doses of folic acid & Vit B daily to achieve a healthy pregnancy.

Benjamin Toby arrived at 18:44 on 24th June 2009 weighing 8 pounds (3.62 kilograms) I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just born

Aged 4 months:
