The former Casualty actress had previously revealed how Frankie was born two weeks early and later shared a sweet clip of her little girl sleeping. 

'You are my everything. All the heartache, all the loss, I would do it all again if I knew you were coming. You are perfect Frankie, simply perfect, Six days old today,' she wrote. 

Holly, who is now a personal trainer and author of fitness books, has documented her fertility journey. 

When she announced her pregnancy in July, Holly spoke of her 'story so far'. 

She wrote: 'My first two pregnancies happened naturally & pretty quickly but after nearly a year of trying after my second loss we decided to look into IVF (I was 40 at the time). 

'After months of waiting for appointments I was finally ready to start, the drugs were in the fridge & mentally I had prepared myself.

'That month my period was late & I found out I was pregnant, literally couldn’t believe it! But it was very short lived & I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks.'

Holly said she was devastated by the loss and the thought of having to start over gain but decided to keep on going. 

She continued: 'So the next month my IVF drugs still ready to go, I waited for my period, the day it was due I did a pregnancy test, it said I was pregnant, WTF?! Again?!

'Sebastian & I looked at other in disbelief, it surly must be wrong but it wasn’t. At 6 weeks I had a very early scan & it confirmed I was pregnant (too early to see a heartbeat but I was definitely pregnant).'

Holly described how they decided not to celebrate and she soon became fearful any slight discomfort meant she was having a miscarriage.   

She said: 'Every day that passed felt like an eternity. At 8 weeks I started to bleed, I couldn’t believe it, not again! We tried to stay calm. 

'But then a large blood clot came & I burst into tears. The only difference this time was that I didn’t have any cramps at all.

'I said to Sebastian I don’t know if I can do this again, every time it chips away at me me a tiny bit more, I felt so deflated & exhausted. 

'We had to wait the whole weekend before seeing the doctor & having a scan. When they said I was still pregnant I burst into tears, this was honestly not the news I was expecting. 

'Sebastian wasn’t allowed in with me so I ran to the car screaming "we’re still pregnant!". I think that was the first moment for both of us that it started to feel real.'
