Three sisters and a baby

Lou Birt - Programme Editor | 10:52 UK time, Thursday, 15 January 2009

When Alex Patrick was left infertile after a treatment for cancer her twin sister, Charlotte Pestell, and older sister, Helen Ritchie, joined forces to help her have a baby.

Charlotte donated eggs, which were fertilised with sperm from Alex's husband, Shaun, and the embryo was then implanted inside Helen who acted as the surrogate mum. Unbelievably, this is the second time they've helped their sister out.

Here's our interview (click the arrow to listen)






Here are Helen, Charlie and Charlotte:
