TO her parents, she is their miracle baby they feared they would never have.

But this bundle of joy is also special to the fertility centre that played a part in her creation.

Little Isabelle is Wessex Fertility’s first baby born at its new Poole clinic.

Her parents Zoe and Will Trim have been trying to conceive for years and have shared their story in a bid to break down the stigma surrounding fertility issues.

Zoe, 29, said: “After five years, we are finally parents. Isabelle is everything we dreamed of. She’s smiley, happy and such a character, she likes to get her own way!

"She's our little miracle."

Zoe and Will, from Moordown, began trying to conceive in 2011 shortly after they got married.

But after a year of no success, they underwent tests which revealed Will, 30, had a low sperm count and IVF was recommended.

Zoe said she fell pregnant naturally in 2014 while waiting for referral for NHS funded treatment but the couple lost their baby by the 12 week scan.

Devastated, they sought help with private clinic Wessex Fertility and began treatment at the satellite clinic closer to home at the bwt Physio clinic in Parkstone, Poole which opened for Dorset patients.

Zoe, who had her embryo transfer at the main centre in Southampton, couldn’t believe it when she took a pregnancy test and discovered it had been a success.

“I couldn’t believe it when I got the positive as I hadn’t really allowed myself to think that far ahead.”

The couple, who both work in retail, had their scan in Parkstone in July but after previously losing their baby, felt extremely anxious.

Zoe, said: "We both started crying when we saw the heartbeat on the screen, it was amazing!”

Isabelle was born in February this year at Bournemouth Maternity Unit weighing 7lb 5oz, the Parkstone clinic's first.

"We were surprised to hear she was the first baby and it's lovely to know. She may be the first but she won't be the last."

The couple urged others to speak out about fertility issues.

Zoe, added: “At first we didn’t tell anyone and we ended up isolated because we didn’t want to answer people’s questions. One day we decided to tell everyone and it was so much better.

“Everyone was on the same wave length and people come forward with their stories and support. You realise how many people have been through the same thing.

"It is so hard when it feels like everyone around you is pregnant and having babies. There were many times I've locked myself in the bathroom, crying after another pregnancy announcement, or had to make excuses not to attend baby showers. It's been the hardest thing we've ever had to do but she is so worth it.

"The smiles, the giggles. I think because we've waited so long, we don't take any of it for granted, even when she is having a bad day."
