Laura began her post by sharing a photo of herself holding an ‘Albie teddy’ as she discussed her ectopic pregnancy.

She said: ‘A year ago today I was sat in A&E knowing I was really poorly but not knowing what was wrong with me. 

‘When I got the news I was having an ectopic pregnancy my world felt like it crumbled. 

‘We had already lost our second baby in November and I remember lying there searching for some sort of answers. I still feel this heartbreak today and I don’t think it will ever go away.’

She wrote: ‘Today I felt like I couldn’t hide away anymore. I’m already starting to show and the anxiety I have felt has been unreal.’

‘Telling the world means I have to accept we are having another baby and this fills me with all kinds of emotions.’

Laura admitted her fears of losing her baby, adding: ‘I’m scared every single day that I might have to go through the pain of loosing another baby. 

‘It makes you feel ungrateful for something you’ve so desperately wanted for the last year. But I also know there are going to be so may people, like I was, seeing my post and wishing I would go away with my happy ending.

‘But I also know when I was lying in the hospital bed I was searching for people’s happy endings because it was the only thing giving me any comfort at the time. That maybe, just maybe I would get my happy ending.’
