Woman who had six miscarriages gives birth to a baby girl after having egg yolk pumped into her body

A woman who suffered six miscarriages has finally given birth to a baby girl - thanks to egg yolk, the Daily Mail reports. 

Lorraine Donakey, 23, from Liverpool, suffered six miscarriages in as many years before almost abandoning hope completely that she would ever have a baby.

But thanks to pioneering treatment involving injecting egg yolk into her system, Ms Donakey has now successfully gave birth to Lulu-Rose.

Ms Donakey, who has a degree in forensic psychology, said: 'Finally having her in my arms is indescribable. When she was born I cried my eyes out.

'Every time I got pregnant I thought it would be different. I spent thousands on baby clothes and equipment for six babies that were never born.

'It was to the point where people wouldn’t dare tell me they were pregnant because they didn’t want to upset me. I didn’t find out about my brother’s baby until it was four months old.

'Even with the treatment I barely believed that my baby would make it, it was always "if" she made it.

'Now I’ve got Lulu-Rose I feel so lucky. She’s already spoiled rotten.'

Ms Donakey suffered her first miscarriage when she was just 17 and studying for her A Levels. She found out just hours before her exams that she had lost the baby.

She said: 'I became pregnant by accident, but by the time I had a miscarriage I had come round to the idea of having a baby. I was devastated.

'Then I knew I wanted to be a mum and was determined to keep trying for a baby.

'But it always ended in heartbreak. The consultant at the hospital told me the hardest part of having a baby was getting pregnant, but I could do that bit, I just couldn’t keep the baby.

'When I went to the hospital each time it was like they knew me. Ann-Marie, my nurse, was fantastic. It was like she was going through it with me.

'But as time went on and I began to hate my body for what it was doing to me and my babies.'

After hearing about a new treatment available privately, desperate Ms Donakey turned to the internet to find out more.

There she found out about Rafet Gazvani, a fertility specialist at Liverpool Women’s Hospital, who was offering the pioneering treatment.

Ms Donakey underwent a womb biopsy and was told the reason she kept miscarrying was because of ‘killer cells’ that kept attacking the embryo.

She was treated using intralipid liquid, a mix of egg yolks and saline solution, which suppresses the 'killer cells' and allows the baby to grow.

She said: 'We had to pay to have the treatment privately. Luckily, my mum was able to help out and she put the costs onto her credit cards.

'With the other babies, I started preparing for their arrival. I probably spent thousands on clothes and things, but I didn’t dare with Lulu-Rose.

'Even on the way to be induced I still kept saying if the baby comes, it was never when

'I didn’t exercise and I took vitamins every day - I would line them up in the morning.'

Thankfully the treatment was successful and Lulu-Rose was born at weighing 4lbs 14ozs on January 17 this year.

She said: 'Having six miscarriages definitely takes its toll, on my body and my mind.

'But I know I want more than one baby and now I know the treatment works.

'I want other women to know that this treatment is available, maybe it can work for them too.'
