UK Mother Has ‘Miracle Baby’ After 15 Years and 13 Miscarriages

Awais Haider’s parents have endured 13 miscarriages in 15 years before he was born.

A UK woman is now the proud mother of a baby boy after 15 years of waiting and 13 miscarriages.

The Mirror reports that Ayshia miscarried time and again between six and 12 weeks into her pregnancy.

But thanks to pioneering work by staff at Heartlands Hospital’s recurrent miscarriage clinic, the 33-year-old at last held the child she’d yearned so long for – a healthy, six pound baby boy.

Ayshia told news reporters that:

“There are no words to express the feelings going through my mind. It was a dream come true.

“I went through the pregnancy spending every day just hoping my dream wouldn’t be shattered.”

Specialists believed that Ayshia’s problems stemmed from ‘sticky’ blood cells, which caused clots to occur. Ayshia would lose blood, triggering a miscarriage.

Led by specialist Professor Siobhan Quenby, the medical team at the hospital used drugs to increase blood flow around the womb.

They introduced an intensive drug and steroid regime that freed blood flow around the womb, allowing Awais to develop inside his mother.

Ayshia was given steroid prednisolone, progesterone and injections of clexane. On July 10, Ayshia gave birth by caesarean section at Heartlands in Birmingham.

She said:

“After years of waiting, my dream has finally come true, and in the month of Ramadan, which makes it an extra special birth date. I feel like all my Eids have come at once.

“After conceiving naturally, I was devastated to miscarry and each time was emotionally and psychologically hard. My family and friends had lost hope.

“As my husband was his mother’s only son, I felt an additional pressure to carry on the family name. I took a two–year rest gap and then plucked up courage for the 14th time. I felt it was my last chance and my last hope.

“It was one of the hardest nine months of my life, as always at the back of my mind was the thought, what if it went wrong again? And if I did that I would feel like a failure. Every scan appointment was daunting.”

She added:

“When I gave birth, it was a joyful, yet upsetting time as my husband’s parents passed away before getting to see their first grandchild.

“However, words can’t explain how I felt when I had the baby. It’s still not sunk in that I have a baby. I would say to anyone in similar circumstances to never give up hope and that dreams can come true.”

Recurrent miscarriage midwife Rachel Small said:

“I am delighted for Mr and Mrs Zaman and her family on the birth of their son. It was a privilege to take care of her through her journey.”
