Single woman, 35, worried her biological clock was ticking gives birth to IVF twin boys by a sperm donor

Louise Peacock, 35, from Swansea, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at 20, reducing her chances of conceiving naturally. After a long-term relationship broke down, she feared she would never have children. When doctors warned her that her 'biological clock was ticking quicker than other women' she decided to take action.



She used a Canadian sperm donor and underwent IVF treatment (pictured left). She gave birth to twin boys Albie and Freddie on October 12, 2013 (they are pictured, right). The 35-year-old said she wants to share her story to inspire other single women not to give up on motherhood simply because they are not in a relationship. Miss Peacock said: 'You don't have to give up if you want a family - you don't have to have a partner there. And you can do it on your own. Just because you're not with someone who can give you children you don't have to give up on having a children.'
