Never give up.

Never give up – a Huggies member’s story

My partner and I have been together for over 6 years. We haven’t used protection for 90% of that time, and we hadn’t fallen pregnant. I went to the doctor a year ago as I was worried that I couldn’t conceive.

My doctor was going to send me to the city to see a specialist and she was advising me that I should look into health insurance in case we needed to go through IVF. We looked at all the different prices of IVF and my partner and I decided we would just give it a year or so and see how we go.

Well, now I am finally pregnant after making sure we were sexually active at the right time of the month. We are so thrilled and I am so excited to become a mum and my partner to become a daddy.

We have waited for so long it felt like a lifetime. Seeing our “little bean” at our 10 week scan; my heart skipped a beat and tears came rolling down. It was the best day of my life knowing that we were finally going to be parents.
