Our miracle.never lose that hope

Caroline's baby joy after 21 miscarriages

- SARA A WALLIS

A MUM who suffered 21 heartbreaking miscarriages has finally given birth to her "miracle baby".

After years of loss, Caroline Langstone knew she might never have a child of her own but never gave up.

And her heartache turned to joy when Amelia was born last month.

Caroline and partner Luke Clayton had been trying for a family since getting together in 2014.

Caroline, 33, says: "I have always wanted a family so badly because I have so much love to give.

"About a year into our relationship we unfortunately had our first miscarriage, when I was about six weeks pregnant. Then it was just constantly happening.

"I felt so alone, wondering, 'Why does this keep on happening?" In the UK, an estimated one in five pregnancies are thought to end in miscarriage but it is rarely spoken about. And Caroline and IT manager Luke, 39, of Coventry, West Midlands, found no answers from doctors.
