Congratulations are in order for Louise McSharry who has just announced that she is expecting her first child!
The 2FM DJ, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, took to her website today to share her news, saying it was a complete shock after being told the odds were against her.
The knock-on effect of her cancer treatment reduced her egg-count far below what was expected and Louise was told the upsetting news that she may never be able to have children naturally.
However, Louise took to her website today to announce her happy news, acknowledging that "April Fools' Day is a bad day to do this..."
"A few months after we started trying, I got pregnant. We spent the seven weeks between finding out and going for a scan in total disbelief, barely telling anyone, and trying not to get our hopes up. This wasn’t meant to have happened!" Louise wrote.
"Then, last week, we saw our baby wriggling around on a screen in The Rotunda, and now there is simply no denying it. No matter what happens now there is a baby of our creation, and I have become the exception.”
HUGE congratulations to Louise and her husband, Gordon.
