Stephanie explained the couple had been trying to conceive for two years and were even exploring IVF, before falling pregnant naturally.

She went on to recall how she and Joe, who she met in a group therapy session in 2021, were left 'sobbing' after a scan revealed they were excepting a baby boy. 'Joe never cries, so when he started that set me off. We were just sobbing on each other. Then the nurse in the room started crying, too.'.
