Carolyn's little miracle: 'THE BABY I NEVER THOUGHT I'D HAVE'

Four years after the heartbreak of being told she was infertile, the TV presenter had some surprising news

- 

When Carolyn Keep (née Taylor) looks at her baby bump, she does so with awe and gratitude. The baby boy she’s carrying is very much wanted – but he was in no way expected.

The pregnancy was a 40th birthday surprise beyond the TV presenter’s wildest dreams because four years ago, she was told she was infertile.

“I couldn’t get pregnant naturally and I didn’t have enough eggs of my own to get pregnant by IVF, so my sister donated her eggs and we were lucky to get four little embryos, which we planned to use early next year – then this little guy jumped the gun!” Carolyn says, still visibly surprised by the news.

And the baby has come at just the right time in her four-year marriage to 40-year-old Wes Keep, a specialist in robotic surgery.

“Our marriage hasn’t been a straight line,” she explains candidly. “Wes and I actually separated for a while last year, to work out what we wanted from life. We are both romantic people and we got married early on in our relationship, then when the real stuff hit the fan, like finding out we couldn’t have children, it could have gone either way.”

This year, they chose to give it another go and the now happy couple see this baby as confirmation they’ve made the right decision.
