Woman who suffered 17 miscarriages and was told she'd never give birth becomes a mother of four - in just NINE MONTHS

• Lytina Kaur from Nottingham had her first child in September 2015
• The 32-year-old then welcomed two children via surrogate and gave birth to a second child in June of 2016 

A woman who had 17 miscarriages after being told she would never give birth has become a mother to four children - in just nine months.

Lytina Kaur was was told she may never be able to give birth after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia, an aggressive cancer of the white blood cells, at the age of 17 and receiving a bone marrow transplant a year later.  

However 13 years and several miscarriages later, Lytina, 32, from Wollaton in Nottingham, found out she had fallen pregnant - and she is now a mother to four young daughters.

Lytina gave birth to her first daughter Kiran in September 2015. Her twins, Kajal and Kavita, were born via surrogate in India two months later.

And in June 2016, Lytina gave birth to Kiyara at the Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham.  

But before becoming a mother-of-four Lytina suffered a number of miscarriages, the first of which happened in 2010 after she conceived twins.

 Lytina, who first started trying to get pregnant after her 2007 wedding, told the Nottingham Post: 'I had 17 miscarriages in total and they were all hard but that one was the most difficult because it was my first and I had been carrying them for a long time.'  

She then decided to explore adoption, but after being told there were no suitable Asian children available, she and her husband started looking at surrogacy.

Between 2013 and 2015, a hospital in India made six attempts to implant an embryo into a surrogate – but each ended in miscarriage and the couple gave up.

But then, in February 2015, Lytina found out she had fallen pregnant naturally as she was planning to undergo IVF.

Although she had been fearful of suffering another miscarriage, a delighted Lytina gave birth to her first daughter, Kiran, via a planned C-section at the Queen's Medical Centre in September 2015.

In November, twin babies Kajal and Kavita were born in India after the hospital, as a goodwill gesture, had transferred the last four embryos to a surrogate mother.

A month later, Lytina flew over to India to meet the twins and complete the process for bringing them home.

But while she was over there, she discovered she had fallen pregnant naturally again.
