A woman who suffered 13 miscarriages in 10 years celebrates the baby "miracle"

A woman who has suffered 13 miscarriages in 10 years has finally had her baby miracle after taking steroids to strengthen her belly.

Laura Worsley, 35, lost all the babies she conceived and many pregnancies lasted only a few weeks. But she never lost hope of fulfilling her dream of having a child with her husband Dave, 48 years old.

The couple suffered their first grief when Worsley miscarried in 2008. She then made three more miscarriages over the next two years and the doctors referred to an innovative medical research team.

Under the expert guidance of Professor Siobhan Quenby and the Biomedical Research Unit of the Coventry and Warwickshire University Hospital (UHCW), she participated in a "global" research on miscarriages.

Quenby discovered that Worsley had antiphospholipid syndrome, also known as "sticky blood syndrome," which can lead to recurrent miscarriage.

During their work in the unit, Worsley also lost two boys, named Leo and Graceson, at 17 weeks and 20 weeks.

Leo's placenta was tested and the results showed that Worsley also suffered from a second condition, chronic histiocytic intervillositis (CHI), which causes the pregnancy to be rejected by the body.

She took steroids to strengthen the uterine lining and she conceived naturally for the 14th time last March.

Medications were given to Worsley to stop her blood clotting and she finally gave birth at 30 weeks.

Surgeons performed an emergency caesarean section on September 12th. Baby Ivy was born prematurely and weighed just 1 pound (7 ounces).

Ivy was placed in a neonatal intensive care incubator, but after 11 weeks, until she was strong enough to be brought home.

"Even now, nine months later, I can not believe she's really mine," said Worsley, of Kenilworth, in Warwickshire. I've always dreamed. I have the impression that all my Christmas came at a time. It's so important to be able to make the difference for anyone going through what I've been through. "

"Through my story, I want to give others the hope and the strength to continue even when everything seems impossible," she said.[While suffering the miscarriages], we were told that a high dose of folic acid could fix the problem, but this is not the case. We participated in trials, did all the tests and tried different drugs hoping that something would work. I do not know how I managed to be honest. Dave stayed strong for me but when we lost the boys, he really struggled with that. "

"It was all I lived – I lost years of my life. I just thought that if I can not have a baby, I do not see any point in my life, "she said.[The CHI] My placenta was killed in places. I was not sure I wanted to try again. But Professor Quenby said she helped women in this area. I thought that there was some hope, I had to try again. I talked to Dave about it and he felt the same way. "

"I thought, this is the last time I do that," said Worsley. We never talked to anyone about it. [about the 14th pregnancy]. It was the hardest thing to keep but the hardest thing to share. I did not stop thinking that if we told people, we would go after it. My husband saw Ivy first. He showed me a photo of her when I woke up. "

"I just thought she was a fighter. She just kept going all the time, she never went back, "she said. I look at it and I think "miracles happen". I had read about the miracles of others, and now I have mine. "

"Steroids have side effects. But we both decided it was worth a last try, "said Quenby." I was delighted. [Ivy] was there but I could not stand to see her until I knew she was fine. I asked the nurses to go see her for me but I was too scared. Laura's case benefits people around the world. Many in her situation would have given up, but she just kept going.
