Louise McSharry has revealed she’s expecting her first child.
The 2FM presenter, who has been very open about her battle with cancer and her recovery, revealed despite worrying she could never have children, she is now expecting with her husband Gordon.
“I can honestly say that throughout my experience with cancer I only thought ‘WHY ME?’ one time,” she wrote on her website louisemcsharry.com.
“That moment came in the office of a fertility specialist four months after being given the all clear.
“The treatment which had saved my life had also decimated my egg count. Where I should have been at 35 or 40 on the scale of being able to conceive, I was a two. I was a two, and I was pissed off,” she explained.
Louise added that while her doctor tried to give her some hope of becoming a mother she thought the worst, but then found out she was pregnant.
“Then, a few months after we started trying, I got pregnant,” she wrote.
“We spent the seven weeks between finding out and going for a scan in total disbelief, barely telling anyone, and trying not to get our hopes up.
“This wasn’t meant to have happened!
“Then, last week, we saw our baby wriggling around on a screen in The Rotunda, and now there is simply no denying it.
“No matter what happens now there is a baby of our creation, and I have become the exception.
“We are absolutely delighted and a little bit terrified at the prospect of becoming proper adults, but I gather that’s a normal way to feel.
“We are also incredibly grateful that we have beaten the odds.
