My family is now complete
FAYE Smith felt ‘hopeless’ when doctors said there was nothing they could do to treat her recurrent miscarriages.
Mrs Smith had a son, Noah, in November 2012 followed by three ‘heartbreaking’ losses.
She said: ‘As soon as you’re pregnant you get excited – you imagine that baby, you think of names. You feel grief when you experience a loss.’
When she became pregnant in August 2015 she suffered bleeding and ‘assumed the worst’. But taking part in a progesterone trial for Tommy’s National Centre for Miscarriage Research appears to have made all the difference.
Mrs Smith said: ‘At every scan we were delighted to see that little baby growing stronger.’ In May 2016, she had Leila, and says the trial made her family ‘complete’.
