The proud mum who spent £70,000 on trying for a baby

A woman who went through ten years of heartache trying to conceive has finally become a mother - after spending £70,000 on IVF.

Teresa Greenhalgh, 46, and husband Tony, 53, from Wrexham gave up holidays abroad and both worked 70 hours a week to fund the expensive treatment.

Now they are proud parents to a 20-month-old daughter, Adelaide Louise.

Mum Teresa says it's 'like holding a miracle in my arms'.

Teresa had discovered she had polycystic ovaries. Knowing it could affect her fertility they didn't want to waste any time but after two years they had not conceived naturally and Teresa had her first round of IVF.

She says she always knew she would fall pregnant eventually.

When Teresa finally fell pregnant, people expected her to be happy. But the fear of something going wrong left her on tenterhooks throughout the pregnancy after seven failed attempts at IVF.

Adelaide is now 20 months old and her parents say the heartache of their struggle to have her just melted away the moment she was born.
