A new mother who suffered a devastating 19 miscarriages over 14 years has spoken of her joy at finally meeting her miracle baby.
Jo Short, 37, had been diagnosed with endometriosis - a gynaecological condition affecting almost two million women in the UK, where womb tissue grows painfully in other areas of the body - but she and her husband Steve were told by eight different medical consultants that this should not be affecting her ability to carry a baby to term.
The couple from Newport, Wales, appeared on ITV's Daybreak with their healthy baby Emily-Kate to explain that they successfully conceived her just months after Jo had pioneering surgery.
'It's been a real emotional rollercoaster, really quite difficult, but it's been well worth it', said Jo, holding Emily-Kate. 'The challenge was there's limited research into the link between endometriosis and miscarriage.
'The frustration was in being told by eight different consultants that everything was normal and to go away and keep trying.'
Steve added: 'The real difficulty is they tell you there is nothing categorically wrong. And every time you roll the dice and you get pregnant you hope something will change but you know deep down it won't.'

Thank God for this family. If na Naija, this woman would be termed a witch and the man's family would have driven her out a long time ago and gotten another wife for the man.
