Brian McFadden shares pregnant fiancée's sonogram of 'miracle' baby after IVF journey

Brian McFadden had fans emotional as he shared a look at his pregnant fiancée's sonogram.

Westlife's Brian, 40, shared his and Danielle Parkinson's baby joy last month - after they'd suffered two heartbreaking miscarriages.

But after successful IVF treatment, Danielle is pregnant and set to give birth in May next year.

And ahead of becoming a dad again, an ecstatic Brian couldn't help but share a snap of the scan at the halfway point of Danielle's pregnancy.

He's already dad to Molly and Lilly-Sue, who he shares with ex-wife Kerry Katona, while this will be Danielle's first child.

"Baby Mac!!" Brian captioned the sonogram, "We're halfway there! X."

The couple have since been flooded with kind words and messages of congratulation.

They told OK! magazine in November that they were expecting after two years of trying.

"We're 15 weeks along now," Brian remarked.

Danielle added: "We're due on 14 May. But they said normally with your first baby it can be early."

They had been through two devastating miscarriages, before passing the three-month mark with their "miracle" baby.

Danielle continued: "It does [feel like a miracle] but I feel awful saying that, as I've had so many messages on Instagram.

"The IVF community is so lovely and I've heard real traumatic stories from people who have been trying for 10 years, people who have had eight-plus miscarriages, so I feel we got lucky on our third attempt."

And they credited Zara and Mike Tindall with putting them in touch with a nutritionist who helped them conceive.

"Mike and Zara put us in touch with Simone the nutritionist who got us prepared for this time," Irish Brian recalled.

"After we had the miscarriage, we sat with them and talked. This woman would put us on a certain diet, and Mike guaranteed it would work. He was completely rig."

Brian's been wed twice before, once to Kerry, who he tied the knot with in 2002.

But it wasn't meant to be and they went their separate ways four years later.

He went on to strike up a romance with Vogue Williams, whom he married in 2012, but split from in 2015.

In December last year, he and PE teacher Danielle announced their engagement.
