'Help me realise my baby dream'

Lyndsey Warton, 40, is trying to raise £4,000 to fund the IVF treatment she needs.

Joy turned to heartache in 2012 when she was rushed to hospital in pain and found out she was pregnant after trying for a baby for six years.

"I had an ectopic pregnancy and my tubes had ruptured and I nearly died from it," explained Lyndsey, who lives in Ingoldmells with her partner..

"I found out that my tubes were really damaged and they had to be removed, meaning that I could not fall pregnant naturally.

"My only hope of a family would be to have IVF, which I have had three times on the NHS.

"I now have a new partner who I have been with nearly five years but because he has older children I have to pay for the IVF which I cannot afford."

Lydsey says she realises others may have struggled to have a baby like her without financial support but launched a JustGiving page just in case there are people who would like to help her.

"This is my only hope," she said. "My partner and I live in a little cottage and have a beautiful homein which to bring up a baby.

"Our baby would have all the love in the world and a stable family."
