A “miracle child from nowhere" born to a Stafford mother who has only half an ovary was revealed today at Stafford's maternity unit. Tiny Alfie Siviter is the baby nobody ever thought could be born. His mother Trudi Siviter, aged 39, was told by doctors 20 years ago she could never have children and, after two ectopic pregnancies, several attempts at IVF fertility treatment and the removal of all but half of one ovary, she had resigned herself to having a hysterectomy. But last July – three months before she was due to have the hysterectomy – she was “shocked, but happy", to find she was pregnant. Despite having only half an ovary left, which was itself not functioning properly, Alfie was born naturally at Staffordshire General Hospital's maternity unit eight months into the pregnancy on December 7.
