Meet a woman who was genetically born a man but managed to give birth to miracle twin girls.
Hayley Haynes was born with no womb, ovaries or Fallopian tubes and therefore never had a period. When she turned 19 doctors dumbfounded her with bad news – she would never would never be able to get pregnant or give birth.
“When they told me I had no womb, I was so confused I felt sick, my biggest fear was never having children. Suddenly a huge piece of my life was missing, I felt like half a woman and was embarrassed. How I was going to tell a guy I was genetically male when I started dating?”
But with the help of hormone treatment doctors managed to grow
a womb inside her. After her womb was declared ready for IVF, Ms Haynes
and her husband, Sam, raised $16,000 for the expensive treatment. And
although there was a 60 per cent chance Mrs Haynes would get
pregnant both vital eggs had taken and she was expecting non-identical
twins.

‘Becoming
a mother was the single most amazing moment of my life. When I held the
babies in my arms for the first time, I was overwhelmed’
And
when Mrs Haynes went for her six-week scan, it was a shock to discover
both eggs had taken and she was expecting non-identical twins Avery and
Darcey
“I couldn’t believe it. I freaked out,
but I was over the moon at the same time. I had the chance to have a
complete family. I felt numb with excitement. It was two for the price
of one. Becoming a mother was the single most amazing moment of my
life.
Avery and Darcey (pictured) were born nine years after Hayley Haynes was told she would never conceive
When I held the babies in my arms for
the first time, I was overwhelmed. I had spent nine years coming to
terms with the fact this might never happen, but in that moment all the
pain just washed away.”
Nine years after finding out that she would never be a mother, Mrs
Haynes finally gave birth to healthy twin babies called Avery and
Darcey.
