A woman has given birth to a daughter after six miscarriages in six years and deciding to stop trying to conceive.

Marcelle Cooper gave birth to a daughter after experiencing six miscarriages in six years. She and her husband had decided to stop trying to conceive and came to accept that having children might not be part of their future. They found comfort in travelling the world together and grieving their losses. Almost a year after they stopped attempting to conceive, Cooper fell pregnant naturally.

Cooper described her pregnancy as extremely difficult, particularly the first 20 weeks. She said she was constantly monitoring symptoms and feared she would find blood when she went to the bathroom. She described her emotional state as 'terrifying' and said the couple were 'scared to be hopeful'. Cooper had undergone surgery to remove her left fallopian tube, which she noted further reduced their chances of conceiving.

Following her 20-week scan, Cooper's emotional state improved significantly. Her fear and anxiety transformed into awe about her pregnancy. She was able to enjoy the second half of her pregnancy and the birth of her daughter, whom she described as her beautiful baby girl. Cooper has said her only wish is that she had asked for help earlier during her journey.
