'We have a rare condition called "Confined Placental Mosaicism" where the T18 cells are confined to the placenta but are not present in the baby. We will just need regular ultrasounds to make sure she is growing properly, but we are so thrilled to be out of the woods. The last 5 weeks have been overwhelming, scary and frustrating but we could not have done it without everyone's love and support. We honestly appreciate it more than you could know. We can't wait for you to meet our bub in March 2016.'

Trisonomy 18 is a fatal chromosome abnormality and the pair feared their unborn daughter had the condition which leads to miscarriage, stillbirth or serious birth defects.

The 25-year-old struggled to conceive for years after suffering from endometriosis, but managed to become pregnant through IVF.

Elle wrote about her hardships trying to fall pregnant on her blog, where she revealed: 'I first remember having medical problems when I was about 16... Some of the symptoms included period pain so bad I couldn't get out of bed to go to school, constant cramping, extreme fatigue and migraines…It wasn't until I met Anthony and decided to go off the pill that all the real trouble started.'

The couple are expecting their first baby next March.
