Sharing the exciting news with OK! Magazine, the 44-year-old described her IVF journey as a “rollercoaster”.
The soap star said: “The first two embryos didn’t work. So this baby inside me now was the last one we had – the last chance of a pregnancy, because at 44 we were not going through IVF again. I believe it was meant to be.”
“Every baby is a miracle, be it an IVF journey or a drunken one-night stand that results in a pregnancy. And that’s how I’ve felt about all three pregnancies.”
“They’re all my little miracles – but people need to know that as you get older, it’s often a more difficult journey. And I know I’ve been one of the lucky ones.”
