A woman who was told she would never have another child after having an ovary and both fallopian tubes removed has beaten all the odds to give birth to a baby girl.
Kerrie Petty, from Telford, Shropshire, was given a million-to-one chance of getting pregnant after undergoing surgery following the discovery of a cyst and because of the effects of an ectopic pregnancy.
The 34-year-old IT project manager is now at home with baby Drew Isla - who was born naturally four weeks early on July 2 and weighed 5lbs 11oz - her husband Jason, 35, and their eldest daughter, twoyearold Eden. Eden was conceived naturally following four failed IVF attempts.
Mr Petty, a hotel manager, said: "We went through a long period of time when it was looking quite disappointing for our first and second child.
"We want other people to know that there is hope."
Mrs Petty, who gave birth at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, said: "It was amazing. After a problem pregnancy I had a text book delivery in just six hours." She said she was elated when she found out she was pregnant but admitted she had been reluctant to tell anyone her happy news because she did not want to tempt fate.
Mrs Petty, of Horsehay, continued: "When I finally told everyone after the threemonth scan they all just said 'how'? But my doctors can't tell me how. They just said nature will find a way.
