Mother welcomes two babies in 12 months after suffering 9 miscarriages

- Simone Austin had lost nine pregnancies and feared she will not be able to have another child again

- Simone and her husband Chris had their daughter, Elena, at four months prematurely and never gave her a chance but she survived

- Weeks after welcoming Elena and while she was still at the hospital, the couple discovered Simone was pregnant again and had Damien, a son

A 35-year-old woman, Simone Austin, had suffered nine miscarriages and had almost given up hope of being a mother again then the unthinkable happened and she now has two babies within 12 months.

Simone and her husband Chris, 31, from Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, were scared they would never become parents together because she had lost pregnancies to miscarriages and ectopic pregnancy.

But by Christmas 2019, just 12 months apart, she experienced the miracle of two babies. The couple welcomed their first surviving child, Elena, on October 2018, though she was born at 24 weeks and was the size of a mobile phone.

While still doubting Elena's survival, the couple realised Simone was pregnant again with their son, Damien. They had felt like her previous pregnancies, this one too will not stay but they were wrong as, by Christmas 2019, the couple now have two babies, one-month-old Elena and their 18-weeks-old son, Damien.

Prior to her marriage to Chris, Simone had a son, Joey, who is six-year-old.
