Nine months ago, the couple, from Kenilworth, England, welcomed their first child after a hard and traumatic road to parenthood.
As she detailed toBBC News, Laura, 35, had her first miscarriage in 2008. Three more miscarriages soon followed, so Laura and Dave went looking for answers.
Laura was diagnosed with Antiphospholipid syndrome after going to University Hospital of Coventry and Warwickshire’s Biomedical Research Unit. The syndrome results in recurring pregnancy loss.
“We were told a high dose of folic acid might sort it, but it didn’t,” Laura told the outlet. “We took part in trials, did all the tests and tried different medications, hoping something would work.”

After undergoing further testing, doctors found that Laura’s placenta had Chronic Histiocytic Intervillositis, which causes the body to fight pregnancy.
“I thought if there’s that one bit of hope, I had to try again,” Laura told BBC News. “I spoke to Dave about it and he felt the same. I told myself, ‘this is the last time I’m doing this.'”

“I just thought, she’s a fighter. She just kept going forward all the time, she never went back,” Laura said.

“Even now, nine months on, I can’t believe she’s actually mine,” Laura said to BBC News.
“It’s so important to be able to make a difference for anyone else going through what I went through,” said Laura. “Through my story I want to give others the hope and strength to carry on even when things seem impossible.”
“I look at her and think ‘miracles do happen'”, she added. “I’d read about other people’s miracles, and now I’ve got mine.”
