Bachelor lovebirds  Claudia & Quinn 'THIS BABY HAS HEALED OUR HEART BREAK'

Claudia Hoskins knows many people are sceptical of psychics, but seeing someone who could look into the future and tell her everything would be alright was something she clung to after a miscarriage.

What should have been the news she and her partner Quinn Ryan longed for - that she was pregnant despite a long battle with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - became weeks of not knowing if the baby was even alive, before having to go through labour and a heartbreaking outcome.

So a psychic telling her the baby had a male energy and that she was going to have a little girl next gave her hope.

"She picked up that I'd had a miscarriage and said he was a boy who was healthy but wasn't ready, so he'd make way for somebody else to come first," Claudia tells Woman's Day.

The Hawke's Bay couple met two years ago after both appearing on reality dating shows. Claudia, 26, made Zac Franich's final three on The Bachelor NZ, while Quinn, 27, was in Lily McManus' top trio on The Bachelorette NZ.

Their connection was instant and Claudia moved from Auckland to Napier to be with Quinn a year later. Laughing, Claudia recalls, "After our second date, I told my mum, 'I'm going to marry him."

A few months later, she asked Quinn about coming off her contraception, but having been diagnosed with PCOS a year earlier complicated things.

Claudia explains, "When I had my ultrasound, they said I had 20 to 25 cysts in each of my ovaries, so I didn't know even if I could get pregnant, but I knew that, one day, I wanted to have a family."

The pair agreed not to plan a pregnancy, but to "just see what happens" - and nothing did. However, as the months went by and Claudia's irregular periods continued, they realised they'd fallen in love with the idea of becoming parents.
