Couple’s joy at IVF baby born at Oldham hospital where it all began
Mrs Sowerby said she remembered going to a appointment at the Royal Oldham and seeing a plaque on the wall commemorating the birth of Ms Brown.
“I was like, ‘Look at that, isn’t it amazing that we are in the hospital where the science came to life and now we have our little baby?'”
The couple said they had been trying for a baby for two years.
They underwent IVF treatment at St Mary’s Hospital in Manchester, but Mrs Sowerby chose to give birth at the Royal Oldham.
Mrs Sowerby, 32, said she had found it hard to come to terms with needing IVF treatment, because she was young and healthy.
She said although a successful outcome was not guaranteed, it meant the couple had a chance.
“And we are so grateful it worked for us,” she said.
The couple found the IVF process very intense.
“Once that little embryo is back inside… it’s two weeks of waiting and hope… all you can do is just keep your fingers crossed,” Mrs Sowerby said.
