‘So we told her that there was one in mummy’s tummy and her face just lit up. She had the biggest smile!’
Sophie described the couple’s gruelling experience of IVF, saying: ‘It was one of the most emotionally draining things we have ever been through.
‘And for Shayne, it was quite a hard process because he wasn’t physically going through it but it was just as tough for him.’
However, she said she was buoyed by his positive attitude, continuing: ‘My mental health was probably on the floor.
‘If it hadn’t been for Shayne and Willow… I’ve never felt so depressed and low in my whole life.
‘I think it was Shayne’s positivity and belief that kept me going. I would be saying: ‘We need to accept this might not happen,’ and he would refuse.’
