A woman’s best friend stepped in to have her husband's baby - to make their dreams of having a second child come true. Danielle Blair, 28, was heartbroken for Alicia Ward, 34, when she struggled to fall pregnant after having her first child, Declan, six.
Knowing how much Alicia and her husband, Austin, 33, a lorry driver, wanted to give Declan a sibling, she offered to be their surrogate. The friends - who met on Facebook when they were both pregnant with their first children - have been inseparable ever since, despite living two hours away from each other.
Mum-of-two Danielle fell pregnant with Alicia's daughter in January 2019 via IUI and gave birth to tot Maisie, now two, on October 1, 2019. Masie arrived at 12.40pm, weighing 6lbs 11oz, much to the delight of her proud parents - who say Danielle has given them "the best gift ever".
