"So I have thought about IVF because having researched it and spoken to some amazing people, it seems like the right option for my age," she shared. "But you know that it's hard because also I've got a partner you know, I've got to think about him. I'm not so sure he's that keen to do it that way.

"I felt guilty as I had four children and thought I can't tell people about my miscarriages," she admitted. "I stopped telling my friends, I didn't even tell my mum as I was sure she was thinking, 'You're 40 something, you've got a wonderful family, you've got everything you've ever wanted, why are you pushing it?'"

She continued, "I didn't even really tell Jamie I was pregnant at points as I was worried he'd think, 'Why are we going through this all again?' I thought I was putting people through hell for my own selfish gain, and that's terrible."
