Robert & Danielle Harvey - Article In The Age

After the birth of their son, Connor, now nine, Mrs Harvey had an ectopic pregnancy before giving birth to Remi, now seven. But after that came the six lost pregnancies.

Danielle must have a very strong mind, especially after all she has been through.

Renee Switzer wrote:Euan Wallace, a member of the State Government's maternity services advisory committee and director of obstetrics at Monash Medical Centre, said many miscarriages went unreported, and if there was an increase, it might be due to women having babies later in life.
He's also a member of a medical sub-committee of Bonnie Babes Foundation, the organisation that is trying to raise funds via this awareness campaign.

Pretty cheeky of the reporter to omit to mention that not insignificant fact.

A lot of families would give up after losing two or three babies, let alone six. The pain of losing a baby must be unbearable.

Incredibly brave of them to keep trying. I could not even begin to imagine the heartbreak they went through.

What are you saying, post count is directly proportionate to sense of self-worth? :?

In that case you must hold yourself in low regard :wink:

Huh? My guess is that you're about 18, which makes you part of the Brittany generation which explains why you would be materially obsessed, devoid of any ethical standards or morals and very likely to say or write something completely stupid, inappropriate and self righteous.

Who the F*** cares about what you don't care or want to know about? Poor form SP2006.

my point is that i always have thought that some things shouldn't be written about or known...but that is just me...and i guess im not one for taking a keen interest in a person's medical issues...im not having a go at anyone in particular...i just believe they are personal...thats all

and no i am not part of the brittany generation and to create and classify someone you have never met in it is poor form...and ignorant that you see fit to group younger generations as morally bankrupt is just plain wrong

thank goodness for the strength and courage Both Robert and Danielle have shown
the beautiful Alyssa -who looks most like her dad- is testament to what we love about Harvs- persistence and determination.
And Danielle's strength of mind to want to have another baby are yet another reason to admire them as a couple who are willing to go to what ever levels are needed to reach their goals. which is exactly what we admire most about the #35

Good Luck Danielle and Robert.


-I still remember the story told at the B&F on how Allyssa had decided that morning she hadn't seen her Dad in his jumper for ages -( 4 weeks after seasons end) so she bought it too him to put on.

Surely an oxymoron ???? ;-)

and SP 2006..if you read the article properly, you'd know that they did the article to raise awareness of the issues of multiple miscarriages and womens health. Do you think they did it just to have a whinge ????? :roll:

Danielle is obviously cut from the same cloth as her hubby..determination and courage to a an amazing degree

Somehow I don't think the article was written to place emphasis on Mrs. Harvey's personal medical issues...

I remember in 2002 Danielle announced on Living With Footballers that she was 8 weeks pregnant and that Robert was the most excited he'd ever been with a pregnancy. This was towards the end of the season and it was never mentioned in the papers or anything again so I assumed she'd miscarried but I never thought they'd gone through so many.

My parents had a very similar experience (9 miscarriages) and I can tell it still affects them (my mum especially) to this day so I can't imagine the strength the Harvey's have to want to try for yet another baby.

Good on them for raising awareness. As Danielle said, it is still a silent issue.

Oh.

Unless Robert is shooting bolts of "amazingness" into Danielle with his seed, I don't really follow you. :shock: :wink:
