Couple welcomes miracle baby after 'rollercoaster journey'

Couple Vik and Sarina went through two miscarriages and a failed IVF cycle before giving birth on Saturday

A couple who went through two miscarriages and a failed IVF cycle are celebrating the birth of their "miracle" baby.

Vik and Sarina Dosanjh were given a less than 10% chance of conceiving but welcomed baby Hukam on Saturday.

The couple, originally from Derby but now based in Walsall, described the birth as a miracle.

Mr Dosanjh said the couple had been on a "surreal rollercoaster full of emotion".

"I never thought we would be in this position to have a baby," he added.

"It's definitely been a journey. We had the two miscarriages quite early on and we did have a failed IVF cycle.

"During that failed IVF cycle we were told by doctors that we only had a 10% chance of having a baby naturally, so at that point we thought to ourselves that it was never going to happen for us.

"We had a look down the adoption route at that point but low and behold we somehow got pregnant in the summer and this is what was destined for us."

The couple are big Derby County fans

Mr and Mrs Dosanjh, who are both 31, decided on the name Hukam for their child, which translates to "God's will" in Punjabi.

They said the name "felt fitting" after everything they had been through together.

Mr Dosanjh said: "I can't stop looking at him, I can't put him down and sometimes I have to pinch myself that we have a child. We are loving every second of it."

Both being big supporters of Derby County, the couple said Hukam already has three Derby County kits, alongside a wardrobe full of Rams baby clothes.

With the Rams looking for promotion back to the Championship this Saturday, the couple said getting promoted would complete a wonderful time in their lives.

Mr Dosanjh added: "Sadly the little one will have to watch Derby on the TV this weekend with his Mum but hopefully the team can get the job done."
