Taking to the social media site yesterday, Bake Off star Laura shared a snap of herself and her husband, Matt, holding a baby scan.
Another photo showed their pet pooch with a green kerchief around his neck reading: “I’m going to be a big brother.”
“After nine years of infertility, we are very excited (and still a bit in shock) to be expecting our little IVF miracle in October,” Laura captioned the heartwarming post.
“I know announcements like this can be really painful, especially if you’re in the thick of waiting or grieving, so please feel free to mute or unfollow if you need to and know I’m sending so much love your way,” she then continued.
Laura gushes over ‘little IVF miracle’ baby
Laura’s caption continued.
“It’s been a really long, and to be honest lonely road to get here – something many of you will know if you’ve followed me for a while or listened to the podcast,” she then said.
“We’d honestly made peace with the idea that having children might not happen for us. But about a year and a half ago, we quietly decided to give IVF a try. We kept it to ourselves so we didn’t put more pressure on ourselves. We had an unsuccessful round and a cancelled round, and then found out a couple of months ago that I was finally pregnant,” she wrote.
“I’ll be sharing a bit more over the coming weeks about our journey to get here but for now we’re just really excited to share our news with you all. We honestly can’t believe our luck,” she then added.
