Woman gives birth to her own BROTHER after acting as a surrogate for her mum

Woman gives birth to her own BROTHER after acting as a surrogate for her mum A woman who acted as a surrogate so her mother could have her sixth child has given birth - to her own brother. Desperate Jacky Edwards, 47, was unable to carry a baby naturally but daughter Katherine, 30, offered to help. And Jacky was even on hand to artificially inseminate her daughter with her husband's sperm. Jacky had suffered a traumatic pregnancy with her fifth child twelve years ago and underwent a hysterectomy. The mum-of-six was widowed at 40 and was certain that she didn't want any more children - but then in 2013 she met chemist Paul, 48.They fell in love, got married and decided they wanted a baby of their own and, aware Jacky wouldn't be able to conceive, turned to researching surrogacy. But clinics up and down the country refused to help, saying there was "no chance" because she had gone through the menopause. Jacky's eldest daughter Katherine, 30, who was already a mum of two, offered to act as surrogate after seeing how much it would mean to the couple. After drawing up an agreement with a lawyer, and agreeing to pay £1,000 a month expenses, Katherine was artificially inseminated with her mum's husband's sperm. Jacky and Paul attended all the scans and check-ups and Caspian was born healthy at a birthing centre in Portsmouth in May last year. The couple were in the room when he appeared, and Paul, who has two children from a previous relationship, cut the cord.Jacky, of South Horrington, Somerset, said: "It was just the most amazing moment. "Caspian was handed straight to me because Katherine didn't want to bond with him and she wanted me to have those moments. It all fell into place. "We are totally over the moon with him. We look at him and pinch ourselves because it seemed impossible that Paul and I would ever be able to have a baby together. "We are sharing our story to show that it can happen, but sometimes not in the way you expect." Katherine, who lives in Holland with husband Sam, 27, who is in the Navy, added: "I knew that if I didn't offer to be mum's surrogate, she would struggle to find one. "The artificial insemination was disgusting but I tried not to think, 'Oh, I'm inseminating myself with my mother's husband's sperm. "I just thought, 'I'm making a baby in a different way,' and blocked it out. "There were times when I thought, 'Have I made a mistake?' I was told that I was going to feel something for this baby."But when I actually gave birth he was handed straight to my mum. Then I looked over and saw the three of them together and it was amazing." Jacky, who worked in the NHS for 15 years and is an author, had three sons and two daughters before Caspian, who are now aged between 12 and 30. But seven years ago, her husband Jason, 47, died of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome. Jacky said: "It was devastating but I adapted to single life. I was happy - I got on with things. I didn't want another relationship, baby, nothing. "But my grown up children started worrying I was lonely and they put me on Plenty of Fish and Tinder, and I promised I would go on a few first dates. "One of the men happened to be Paul.
