Irish Jewellery Designer Chupi Shares Pregnancy News On Instagram

Our favourite Irish jewellery designer, Chupi Sweetman has announced she is expecting her first child.

Sharing the news on her Instagram she discussed the difficulty she had conceiving after three years of IVF; “I didn’t realise it was a rollercoaster of financial, physical and emotional challenges.”

The caption is lengthy and heartfelt she said they have had some heartbreaking lows as well as highs; “the explosion of joy when we heard that tiny heart was like nothing else in the world .”

The designer went on to say that she was unsure if she wanted to share her story, but we think it will be so helpful to those going through IVF to read these words and feel hopeful.

She said she couldn’t have done it without her partner, Brian; “who held me together, it pushed us in ways I never thought possible but he was a rock. I thought at the time I was the one who held onto hope, but he made sure that we took it one day, one injection, one test at a time which actually got us through whilst my hopes and fears always lived in the future which is a scary place with IVF.”

“Today most of all I feel joy.”
