Radio star Louise McSharry announced this morning that she is expecting her first child with husband Gordon Spierin. Louise has been very open with her pregnancy worries from her battle with cancer last year.
On her RTE documentary about her journey with the disease, called F**k You Cancer, Louise shared her fears of whether she would be able to get pregnant because of her treatment, so the news that she is expecting came as quite a pleasant surprise.
Commenting today on her blog, she said: “I can honestly say that throughout my experience with cancer I only thought ‘WHY ME?’ one time. That moment came in the office of a fertility specialist four months after being given the all clear.
“The treatment which had saved my life had also decimated my egg count. Where I should have been at 35 or 40 on the scale of being able to conceive, I was a two. I was a two, and I was pissed off.”
Louise then revealed that after a few months of being told this heartbreaking news she began trying, and amazingly enough, she got pregnant.
“We spent seven weeks between finding out and going for a scan in total disbelief, barely telling anyone, and trying not to get our hopes up…then, last week, we saw our baby wriggling around on a screen in the Rotunda, and now there is simply no denying it,” she wrote.
How adorable? We couldn’t be happier for Louise and Gordon and wish them all the luck in the world!
