    Alex Reid has confirmed his fiancée Nikki Manashe has safely returned home after being rushed back to hospital following the birth of their daughter Anastasia.

    Nikki, 36, was rushed to hospital in the early hours of Thursday morning and was told she may need surgery for internal bleeding and blood clotting after giving birth.

    However Alex, 46, has since revealed that Nikki didn’t have to undergo surgery and her bleeding has reduced, meaning she was able to return home.

    Earlier this week, Nikki shared a new image of their newborn daughter Anastasia Pixie.   

    She penned: ‘7 years seems like such an awful long time to keep going. But you Anastasia were so worth the wait!!! I can’t believe how lucky I am. ‘I would cry all the time asking why me – now I know why… 

    ‘God was making me wait for the most perfect little angel sent from the heavens. I have only ever felt this kind of love with my own mother and I never thought I would feel this again. You have healed my broken heart.’ 

    The couple welcomed their baby girl on the 13th July.

    Nikki has documented her journey to motherhood with fans and previously suffered six miscarriages before announcing she was four weeks pregnant last November.  

    Announcing she had given birth she wrote a poem in the caption that read: ‘Welcome to the world little Miss Reid.  I loved you from the very start, You stole my breath, embraced my heart.  

    ‘Our life together has just begun, You’re part of me my little one. As mother with child, each day I grew, My mind has always been with thoughts of you. 

    ‘As you lay next to me I dim the light, I whisper, ‘I will always say I love you’ every night. I loved you from the very start;

    ‘You stole my breath, embraced my heart. As mother and child our journey has just begun, My heart’s yours forever my perfect little one.’  

    Sportsman Alex, who is the ex-husband of Katie Price, also shares an eight-year-old daughter Dolly, with former partner Chantelle Houghton. 

    The pair had originally conceived twins, but sadly one of the babies died in December. 

    At the time, Nikki explained to MailOnline that she is ‘balancing sadness with happiness’ after finding out she and Alex had lost one twin at her seven-and-a-half-week scan at Harley Street Fertility Clinic, in London, on December 2. 

    She said: ‘I haven’t planned on ever having twins – who does? But once I was pregnant with two babies I wanted them both so much. 

    ‘I had started planning to move to a new house in the countryside and visualised and dreamed of two babies growing up together.

     ‘I felt like all this hard work had paid off and I had two amazing babies at the end of a very dark sad tunnel.’

    How does IVF work?

    In-vitro fertilisation, known as IVF, is a medical procedure in which a woman has an already-fertilised egg inserted into her womb to become pregnant.

    It is used when couples are unable to conceive naturally, and a sperm and egg are removed from their bodies and combined in a laboratory before the embryo is inserted into the woman.

    Once the embryo is in the womb, the pregnancy should continue as normal.

    The procedure can be done using eggs and sperm from a couple or those from donors.

    Guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends that IVF should be offered on the NHS to women under 43 who have been trying to conceive through regular unprotected sex for two years.

    People can also pay for IVF privately, which costs an average of £3,348 for a single cycle, according to figures published in January 2018, and there is no guarantee of success.

    The NHS says success rates for women under 35 are about 29 per cent, with the chance of a successful cycle reducing as they age.

    Around eight million babies are thought to have been born due to IVF since the first ever case, British woman Louise Brown, was born in 1978.

    Chances of success

    The success rate of IVF depends on the age of the woman undergoing treatment, as well as the cause of the infertility (if it’s known).

    Younger women are more likely to have a successful pregnancy.

    IVF isn’t usually recommended for women over the age of 42 because the chances of a successful pregnancy are thought to be too low.

    Between 2014 and 2016 the percentage of IVF treatments that resulted in a live birth was:

    29 per cent for women under 35

    23 per cent for women aged 35 to 37

    15 per cent for women aged 38 to 39

    9 per cent for women aged 40 to 42

    3 per cent for women aged 43 to 44

    2 per cent for women aged over 44
