Like her second eldest brother, baby Lina (named after her mother) was conceived via IVF and was born by caesarean section.

 

Mum Lina, who is a doctor, urged others who were healthy to follow suit if they wanted a baby later in life. Encouraging women to let nature decide, she said they shouldn’t be afraid.
