“It’s not always just thoughts, it’s not always just the mental.

She posted a photo of a positivetest, and said: “It’s crazy to think that Leo could have had a sibling born last September.

“I doubt that it was ever going to work. Probably a mere chemical pregnancy.

“Whatever it was the change in hormones or blood flow to that area caused the most insane amount of bleeding from my bum in the weeks that followed and ended up having my stoma surgery as a result. So capiche. That was the end of that dream.

“My and our journey is something I’m only just starting to wrap my head around 3 1/2 years after the birth of my beautiful son.

Louise wrote inYouMagazine: “I could feel something bigger than a party looming over me: the fact that I will never have the ‘perfect family’ I always thought I would.

“Nothing emphasises the passing of time like your child’s birthday, and I can’t deny that when I look around at other friends popping out countless children, it hits home that this is not a reality for us.

“I always imagined I’d have four children. I loved the idea of a big family with lots of noise and different personalities.

“People said it would be hard work, but I liked the idea of each sibling bringing up the one behind them. I wanted to be like the Von Trapps. This will never be my life.

“I used to believe that if you work hard enough you can achieve anything, but that’s not true: I will never be able to go back and fix what happened to me.

“There will always be a sadness that I won’t experience childbirth again. That sadness is a part of who I am now and I need to learn how to take it forward into the rest of my life.”;;
