Michelle’s fertility struggles
Michelle had previously opened up to her followers about her journey to pregnancy, revealing that she suffers from endometriosis.
“I can’t believe it’s nearly been a year since getting married and I honestly didn’t think 12 months on that I’d be writing a post sharing that I’m pregnant….” She began.
“I know this kind of news can be difficult to read for some so I understand if you would rather scroll past on this.” She continued: “I wanted to share though as my journey with endometriosis and infertility is something I finally felt confident to start speaking about more openly last year.
“Even at the very start of this year I was gearing up for yet another endo procedure and trying to come to terms with the mental and physical impact they can have. It has been quite the emotional rollercoaster. The news of falling pregnant really came as a massive surprise to both of us. We still can’t quite believe it.”
Enjoy that baby bubble, Michelle!
