Brit woman gives birth after nineteen miscarriages

A woman has given birth to her first child after an agonising 19 miscarriages over 15 years.

Jo, of Newport, Gwent, and her bank manager husband Steve, 38, started trying for a baby in 1997 but had to face disappointments every time, the Sun reported.

Jo is one of 1.5 million women in the UK who suffer from endometriosis, a gynaecological condition that often leaves victims infertile.

But she was told of pioneering surgery by Cardiff consultant Richard Penketh.

Penketh did a four-hour operation, which involved cutting away scar tissue caused by the condition, last year.

Within two months, Jo became pregnant for the 20th time.

 

She was so much in fear of losing her baby once again that she even refused to take pain relief when she went into labour.
