“We have been waiting for you for so long that we can't believe it... You are our dream come true!!”, said Gisela Lladó (El Bruc, Barcelona, 45 years old) this Sunday, March 31 on her Instagram profile, in a publication to welcome her first child, Indiana, who was born on the 30th. The singer has taken advantage of the text, which accompanies a photo in which she holds the newborn's hand with her partner, José Ángel Ortega, to thank the care she has received at the Dexeus Mujer clinic in Barcelona, and the treatment of the nurses, assistants, paediatricians, midwives, anesthetists and gynecologists. “Thank you for life!” She concludes the happy publication of this social network in which she has accumulated 189,000 followers to whom she has been recounting the entire pregnancy process for months.

And from that whole process I only had one viable embryo left. Go figure. So, we went for that one, which is this one who is right here kicking ass,” the Catalan then explained, confessing to having undergone
in vitro
fertilization
after trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant naturally. According to what she said, she had been trying for approximately five years and suffered two miscarriages during that period. “It has been a very long, very hard and very difficult process emotionally and physically,” she acknowledged.
