A couple who struggled to conceive for years are desperate for another round of IVF after their daughter's heart stopped beating when mum Nicola was 34 weeks pregnant.
Darren Evans and Nicola Scarpato have been trying to start a family for more than 10 years and were filled with joy when they finally got pregnant with their daughter, Jorgie-May through IVF. Sadly, in September 2021 when Nicola was 34 weeks pregnant they were given the devastating news that their baby, who Darren had nicknamed "Pebble", had no heartbeat.
The couple, from Newport, met as teenagers and as they approached their late 20s they decided it was time to start trying for a baby. After things failed to happen naturally for them, they were referred for NHS fertility treatment in 2017 and began their first cycle of treatment in late 2018. They are currently fundraising for another round of treatment, and you can make a donation here.
