Danielle told OK! Magazine: “It does [feel like a miracle] but I feel awful saying that, as I’ve had so many messages on Instagram.
“The IVF community is so lovely and I’ve heard real traumatic stories from people who have been trying for 10 years, people who have had eight-plus miscarriages, so I feel we got lucky on our third attempt.”
