One star of Married At First Sight UK has announced she is pregnant with a “miracle” baby after she was told that the likelihood she would conceive was between 1-3%
A MAFS UK star has announced that she is pregnant and dubbed her pregnancy a “miracle” after she was given a 1% chance of conceiving. Peggy Rose, who was on series eight in 2023, took to social media to share the happy news.
She posted a video on Instagram in which she showed of little white baby shoes, a bedazzled pregnancy test and caps that red ‘Dad’ and ‘Mum”. In the caption, she wrote: “I’m so sorry I’ve been a little quiet.
“It’s been the most overwhelming, emotional, beautiful few days since testing. I really wanted to tell my nearest and dearest face-to-face before sharing it on socials as I’m sure you can imagine. But… you were all right. It only took one little egg!”

She added that she hoped others on their IVF journey got “hope and inspiration” from her success, before saying she was “superstitious” about sharing the news.
“It’s still very early days,” Peggy explained. “A lot of my friends and family said I shouldn’t post until 12 weeks, and I am a little superstitious too and if I was doing this naturally, or ivf but not broadcasting on socials, I wouldn’t be announcing it so soon either…but I promised from the very beginning that I would be open and transparent about this journey – and that’s exactly what I’ll continue to do.”
Peggy said: “We’re just taking every single day as it comes now, praying our scan shows a tiny little heartbeat. THANK YOU for all your messages, your positivity and your inspirational stories. You have honestly been the biggest support to me. If sharing this helps even one person feel less alone, then it’s worth it. Sharing is caring.”
The star had previously shared with fans that doctors had given her a very slim chance of conceiving as they had only collected one egg in the early stages of the IVF process. Peggy posted a picture of herself at the hospital and said in the caption that it was the “first time I thought that sharing my journey was a mistake”.
“It was the most emotional day yet,” she said. “Going in with 8 good sized follicles, and coming out to find that after all the injections and the operation they only managed to collect one egg…one egg…and they couldn’t confirm if it’s mature was really hard to process. I’m so grateful for the opportunity and the staff were amazing but it’s hard not to be disappointed!
“It was the first time I thought that sharing my journey was a mistake as I didn’t know how I would get the courage to explain what had happened to you all without it crushing me but I’m sticking to my word and I promised to share both the highs and the lows, so here is the raw truth (the low) in the hope that it helps someone.”
Peggy added that she was trying to “stay positive” about the egg they collected and that they would soon find out. “Right now I’m trying to stay positive and hopeful that it’s a good egg, that it matures and fertilises,” she said. “We’ll find out tomorrow.”
Finally, she finished her statement by saying: “One egg I think we only have a 1-3% chance now but we’re staying hopeful.” The post was uploaded to Instagram on 3 February, and less than a month later, Peggy was able to share that she was pregnant. She added to her stories: “Hopefully this gives people hope that miracles can happen…”
