Hurricanes player and All Black hopeful Vince Aso and partner Nykala Toheriri are over the moon to be expecting their first child after being told they might struggle to conceive.
Toheriri was three days away from having surgery for endometriosis, a common inflammatory condition where tissue is found outside the uterus, when the couple discovered she was pregnant.
"We felt super-blessed considering we were told she had low fertility and it was going to be difficult to fall pregnant," Aso tells Spy.
Toheriri has been in hospital nearly 10 times during her pregnancy due to pain and complications, which has been tough, but their baby girl has stayed healthy throughout.
The baby is due on April 8, but the couple think she might come early because she's so active.
