"As a woman in her late 30s who's experienced health problems, I thought I might have to accept that it wasn't a path my life was going to take, but it would have been a great sadness in our lives if that had been the case."

The health issues that Martine was speaking of were so severe she was unable to work for almost four years, resulting in her being declared bankrupt last year.

She said: "It was a terrible time in our lives but you discover who your friends are and we found amazing support from people who really came through for us.

"It's like finally the tides have turned. Great things are starting to happen on the work front, but more than anything, expecting our baby boy has given us clarity about what matters."
