A mum who struggled to sit down or dance on her wedding day just 10 days after giving birth says she has no regrets - and her newborn was the best gift.<br /><br />Allie Svarc, 29, struggled for three years to conceive and went through four rounds of fertility treatment - three of IUI and one of IVF - before falling pregnant.<br /><br />At the same time, Allie and her husband, 32, had to re-plan their wedding, after their initial date was cancelled due to the pandemic.<br /><br />They set a date two years in advance of their first date, but with just nine months to go, Allie was delighted to fall pregnant - with a due date just THREE WEEKS before the big day.<br /><br />Just 10 days before their big day, Allie went into labour and gave birth to a 9lbs boy, now 15 weeks, at the end of October 2022.<br /><br />Her "traumatic" birth meant she couldn't sit down during her big day on November 5, 2022, and the exhausted new parents were both in bed at 10.30pm.<br /><br />But Allie says her new addition was the "cutest addition to their guest list".<br /><br />The social media manager from Nottingham, Notts., said: "All three of us really enjoyed our day.<br /><br />"On February 14, I found out I was finally pregnant.<br /><br />"But we quickly realised - our wedding was also nine months away.<br /><br />"It'd been so long since our original date, we thought, f**k it, we've been waiting three years for this - and we didn't reschedule.<br /><br />"Wedding planning - on top of baby planning and working a full-time job - was a lot of admin. It was stressful.<br /><br />"But I wouldn't change it for the world."<br /><br />The couple were devastated when they were forced to reschedule their wedding, <br />originally planned for November 5, 2020.<br /><br />They opted for November 5, 2022 - inviting over 100 guests to their ceremony in Derbyshire.<br /><br />Allie said: "Because of the Covid pandemic, our planned venue went bust.<br /><br />"Then, the registry said we were only allowed six people - and we wanted all my family there as well as my partner's.<br /><br />"We’d wanted a baby since 2019 and in March 2019, we began trying.<br /><br />"For nearly two years, nothing happened - and we had to accept the fact that we'd need to explore the possibility of fertility treatment."<br /><br />After several unsuccessful rounds of IUI (intrauterine insemination) costing £4,000, Allie and her partner had their first NHS funded round of IVF in January 2022.<br /><br />It worked and they were expecting in October 2022 - just three weeks away from their re-scheduled wedding.<br /><br />“It wasn’t the wedding I’d initially planned - my friends threw me a joint hen do/baby shower - as two of my friends were also pregnant at the time," she said.<br /><br />Allie went into labour in the early hours of October 23, 2022.
