The dream of having a second child helped her get rid of this obsession. Moreover, the age of Brooke Shields, approaching 40, constantly pushed her to this idea. But it turned out to be incredibly difficult to realize what she wanted. Together with her husband Chris Henchy, she went through seven IVF procedures that ended in complete failure. And in 2006, a miracle happened: Brooke Shields became pregnant naturally – and soon gave birth to her second daughter, Greer Hammond.

The famous actress and model, along the way the owner of 15 tattoos on her beautiful body, led a stormy stellar life with all her bad habits. But in her, as in any woman, the instinct of motherhood was laid. And when she tried to put it into practice, she ran into big problems. Jamie had to undergo five IVF procedures, she had five miscarriages, and additional courses of expensive treatment were needed for famous doctors to declare her infertile.
