Guillaume and Stephanie expecting first child

[Lady Adelaide]

Wonderful news! 

[Bunnyette]

Super news!  I thought Stephanie might be as her face looked fuller and she looked genuinely happy at her last few events.   I guess brother Felix and his offspring must be relieved...

[Tatini]

Wonderful news, I am so happy for them!!!

[Ellie]

Good for them!

Marieke, I'll keep you in my prayers.

Especially poor little Amalia.

Scarfette it is!
So happy for them 

[onar]

Oh my God, that was totally unexpected!!!
 
This is such a good news! I'm so happy for them and I wish them all the best for them and the baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LongMaySheReign]

What a wonderful news. Congratulations to them.   

[Curtains]

I wish them a safe pregnancy and for her, an easy delivery.

Great good wishes to the new addition, our own Scarfette!

Well, that is wonderful news, wishing them a happy and comfortable time and of course a happy, healthy baby (who will probably look like a carbon copy of his father, red face and all, wrapped in one of mommy's many scarfs)
Scarfette sounds like a smurf name... There is I did it!! I love me some smurfs…

[Tatini]

Let's hope baby Lux takes after mommy then

Must be hard to be on "watch" for years ... guess London was the place to be ... I think they seem happy together and this will help in the next stages. While Catholic couples don't get official approval for fertility assistance it happens anyway ... one of the happier royal stories of 2019

I'm so happy for Stephanie and Guillaume. I pray she has a safe pregnancy and birth. Honestly, this has made my day.

I’m genuinely happy for them, I actually teared up a bit when I read the news - I’m currently pregnant myself, so it’s most likely the hormones. As somebody already said above, I hope this gives hope to other couples who have been struggling with infertility for years. I know it’s not been confirmed they’ve had trouble conceiving, but I do believe it’s true.

[Duchess of Verona]

Me too !
As someone who is suffering from fertility problems myself and is undergoing treatments since May I can easily understand how happy they must be and I really wish her a good pregnancy and a healthy baby!

Good luck to you Marieke! May you and your partner have a happy result!

Thank you so much! It have been difficult years since we are trying to have a baby. The miscarriage last year was and is difficult to process and then the news that we need medication because my body doesn't do what is has to do. In August the news that I needed an operation because I had a cyste in my ovary and later find out that there were other things wrong in there. Starting again and changing medication in october. And now this week hearing that another attempt failed and that we have to consider taking it to another level and probably starting in some months with ivf. It has been a rough journey. But as long as there is possibility for treatment there is hope!

My journey was similar to yours. After 12 years of trying and multiple miscarriages, we pretty much gave up on the idea. We were discussing going to Croatia (this was right after the war) to adopt a baby as my cousin was the nun who ran  one of the orphanages. Then lightning struck, all on it's own.  It seems like five minutes ago, but now she is a senior in high school. The thing to remember is that there are many children in the world who need a home. You will be a mother, even if it wasn't the way you originally  planned.
