A woman who nearly died after she suffered one of a string of miscarriages has proudly shown off the "miracle" baby girl she has welcomed after 20 years of trying to become a mum.
Cafe owner Rebecca Dando, 37, had always dreamed of motherhood but feared it would never happen after she was rushed to hospital when she haemorrhaged because of a miscarriage in February 2019. She had had multiple miscarriages from the age of 18 - despite doctors telling her nothing appeared to be wrong.
But after meeting her partner, Christopher Thomas, 26, in April 2019, Rebecca decided to give trying for a baby another go. After no luck for a year, she was delighted when she found out she was expecting in September 2021, and this time the pregnancy progressed.
